The chili plant (Capsicum annuum L.) is a horticultural commodity with high economic value that also serves as an important source of antioxidants, contributing to the nutritional needs of the community. This study was conducted to evaluate the effect of water hyacinth compost application on chili plant growth and to determine the most effective dosage for enhancing plant performance. The research took place in Timoreng Panua Village, Panca Rijang District, Sidenreng Rappang Regency, from August to November 2025, utilizing a Randomized Block Design (RBD). The treatments consisted of five combinations: P0 as a control (0 g compost + 1000 g soil), P1 (200 g compost + 800 g soil), P2 (400 g compost + 600 g soil), P3 (600 g compost + 400 g soil), and P4 (800 g compost + 200 g soil), with each treatment replicated three times. Observed parameters included the number of leaves and plant height, which served as primary indicators of vegetative growth. The results indicate that varying the dosage of water hyacinth compost did not lead to significant changes in the number of leaves. However, the different dosages had a notable impact on plant height as confirmed by the Honestly Significant Difference (HSD) test at the 5% level with the P1 treatment yielding the greatest average height (15.78 cm). This result differed significantly from those of P0 (12.39 cm) and P2 (13.22 cm), suggesting that the application of 200 g of water hyacinth compost is the optimal dosage for promoting the vertical growth of chili plants.
