The study revealed that growth parameters such as days for sprouting, plant height, number of leaves and spread of plant were found better in earthen pot than plastic pot in double type of tuberose genotype GK-T-D-7. Among the different media used for the growth of plants Cocopeat +FYM proved its superiority for most of the growth parameters. the treatment combination of earthen pot with media Cocopeat + FYM (C₁M₄) was performed best for various characters viz. plant height (61.05 cm), number of leaves (88.40), spread of plant (60.22 cm NS, 57.00 cm EW), flower stalk emergence (63.27 days), rachis length (25.90 cm), number of florets per spike (34.55), number of flower opened at a time (10.38). The treatment combination of soil + FYM in plastic pot (C₂M₂) recorded better performance for characters viz. maximum spike length (61.78 cm), longevity of flower stock (13.00 days).It is concluded that the overall performance of double type tuberose genotype GK-T-D-7 performed well in pot culture. Among the interaction between containers and media, the interaction Soil + FYM in plastic, Cocopeat + FYM in earthen pot and Cocopeat + FYM in plastic pot showed better performance during the study.
