The low productivity of sorghum in Indonesia encourages the use of sustainable cultivation. This study aims to determine the distribution of FMA spores on selected ornamental plants, analyze the effect of culture trapping inoculation on spore density, and the effect of FMA application on sorghum plant growth. The study was conducted from January to June 2025, including the identification of FMA spore distribution on 14 ornamental plants, analysis of trapping culture on spore density, and the effect of FMA application on sorghum growth. A Complete Randomized Factorial Design (CRFD) was used with factors of mycorrhiza application (without/with) and growing medium composition (BIOPOS, rice husk, zeolite, and their combinations). Plant height and number of leaves were observed on day 30 after sowing (DAS), analyzed using ANOVA and DMRT (α=5%). The results showed that ornamental plants of Bougainvillea (Bogainvillea sp.) had the highest FMA spore density, with 14 ornamental plants dominated by the genera Glomus (69.23%) and Acaulospora (30.77%). Trapping culture on ornamental plants of Kemuning (Murraya paniculata) (L.) (Rutaceae) produced the highest spore density (429 spores per 10 g soil), making it a potential inoculum source. The application of mycorrhizae and soil medium composition significantly enhanced sorghum growth. The interaction between mycorrhiza and BIOPOS (A2K1) yielded the best growth (height 60.02 cm; 5.50 leaves), far exceeding the treatment without mycorrhiza. FMA from the rhizosphere of ornamental plants has great potential to enhance sorghum growth, especially when combined with suitable growing media such as BIOPOS, supporting sustainable sorghum cultivation.
