Two different compots (soil conditioner Latvia compost and local composts) in different proportions with river sand were used for rooting of two ornamental shrubs) Berberis thunbergii and Myrtus communes semi-hardwood cuttings, which were taken in 16-3-2011. Sand medium shows the most effective treatment in both plants. However the interaction of Myrtus communes cuttings and the control of soil conditioner Latvia compost gave the highest rooting percentage (50%). The highest number of roots (9.00) was counted from the interaction of Berberis thunbergii with (4:2) proportions of soil conditioner compost and sand. However the longest root, number of shoots and the highest number of leaves (13.80 cm), 5.16 and 25.44 respectively) were recorded from Berberis thunbergii cuttings in the sand medium. Longest shoot (1.60cm) was obtained from Myrtus communes cuttings when cultivated in soil conditioner compost. The largest number of leaves (25.44) was counted from Berberis thunbergii cuttings when cultivated in the control of local compost, with no significant differences with the control of soil conditioner compost for the same species.
