Gibberellic acid as a growth hormone was used in three different concentrations (0, 100 and 200ppm)to influence better seedling establishment. The result indicated that Bougainvillea glabra, top soil mixed with sawdust and gibberellic acid at 100ppm concentration proved to have performed better among the three plants, sowing media and gibberellic acid concentrations respectively.
