Variables measured were plant height, stem girth, root fresh weight, root dry weight, number of roots, number of leaves and leaf area. Based on the results of the study showed that 25% of the soil planting medium top soil and 75% peat soils respond well to the growth of oil palm seedlings age 90 Hst with generating plant height, stem girth, root fresh weight, root dry weight and leaf area respectively - also was 25.59 cm; 3,02 cm; 1.40 g; 0.48 g and 1608.75 cm ².
