In a randomized complete-block design, two separate experiments were conducted to study the response of lead tree Leucaena leucocephala and Hibiscus rosa sinensis to the application of the organic fertilizer, SoilRich. Seedlings of both species were grown in pots filled with growing media containing sandy soil and SoilRich. SoilRich was added at the rates of 0%, 5%, 10%, or 15% (v/v). The obtained results indicated that the application of SoilRich significantly increased plant height, stem elongation, branch number, shoots fresh and dry weights, and enhanced root growth of both Leucaena leucocephala and Hibiscus rosa sinensis. Total nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium percentages in the shoots were increased in both species as the applied rate of SoilRich was increased. SoilRich treatments increased the water holding capacity of the soil. Moreover, they increased organic matter, total nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium percentages in the soil. The application of SoilRich at 15% gave the best results.
