Cucumber plant growth is hampered by low soil fertility. One way to increase growth is through the application of fertilizer. This study aims to determine the effect of giving liquid organic fertilizer (LOF) made from pineapple peel (Ananas comosus L.) and rice washing water on the growth of cucumber plant (Cucumis sativus L.) and the concentration that can provide the best treatment results for cucumber growth. This research was conducted from March to June 2023. The research design used a completely randomized design (CRD) with five treatments, namely LOF concentrations of 0 mL/L, 30 mL/L, 32 mL/L, 34 mL/L, and 36 mL/L. The application of liquid organic fertilizer made from pineapple peel and rice washing water had a significant effect on wet weight and dry weight, but had no significant effect on plant height, number of leaves and leaf area of cucumber. The best POC treatment for cucumber growth is 36 mL/L
