This research aimed to determine the source of auxin which can increase the growth of tea cuttings. This research was conducted in the Tanjungsari plantation unit of PT Tambi tea nursery, Wonosobo and the Research Laboratory of University of Muhammadiyah Yogyakarta, from February to August 2018. The experiment was a single factor experiment arranged in a Completely Randomized Design (CRD). The tested treatments were auxin sources consisting of IBA 6.000 ppm, Rootone-F paste, 10% goat urine, 70% shallot and without auxin addition. The result showed that the addition of IBA 6.000 was able to improve the rooting percentage of the tea cuttings. The addition of 10% goat urine and 6,000 ppm IBA significantly increased root length and leaf area of the tea cuttings.
