Abstract	The goal of this experiment is to determine how vermicompost affects the vegetative and reproductive development characteristics of the well-known ornamental plant Zinnia elegans. Earthworm action breaks down organic material to produce vermicompost, an environmentally friendly organic addition that enhances the soil's microbial flora and nutrient content. A greenhouse study evaluated five treatments, each using a different ratio of vermicompost. With 80% vermicompost treatment demonstrating the greatest overall growth performance, the findings showed noteworthy advancements in plant height, number of leaves, number of flowers, and biomass.
