This study evaluated the effects of rabbit urine liquid organic fertilizer (LOF) and coconut water on the vegetative growth of red canna (Canna edulis Kerr.). The experiment was conducted from February 2024 to June 2025 in Tohudan Village, Colomadu District, Karanganyar Regency, Central Java, Indonesia. A completely randomized design (CRD) with a 3 × 4 factorial arrangement was applied, consisting of three coconut water concentrations (0%, 50%, and 100%) and four rabbit urine concentrations (0, 10, 15, and 20 mL L⁻¹), with four replications. Growth parameters observed included plant height, number of leaves, leaf length, leaf width, stem diameter, root length, and fresh weight. Data were analyzed using analysis of variance (ANOVA), followed by the honestly significant difference (HSD) test at the 5% significance level. The results showed that rabbit urine significantly affected leaf length and leaf width, while coconut water significantly influenced leaf length and root length. The highest vegetative growth response was observed at a rabbit urine concentration of 20 mL L⁻¹, particularly for leaf length and width. These findings indicate that rabbit urine and coconut water have potential as sustainable organic inputs for enhancing the vegetative growth of red canna plants.
