Timber harvesting in natural forest caused damage along the skidding roads. This research studied the effects of planting hole sizes, seedling sizes and culture media on the growth of Meranti ( Shorea johorensis ) at skidding roads. This study used factorial in completely randomized block design 3 × 2 × 2 in three replicates. The first factor was planting hole sizes (A1 :, A2 : 40 × 40 × 40 cm, A3: 40 × 40 × 50 cm), second was seedling size (B1 : decapitated seedlings for 10 cm, B2 : non-decapitated seedlings) and third was culture media (C1 :, C2: soil and wood charcoal). The results showed that the growth of Shorea johorensis plantation coming from 10 cm decapitated seedlings at 3-year-old after planting grew well and better than non-decapitated one. The appropriate planting hole size and culture media for planting Shorea johorensis were 40 × 40 ×30 cm and soil and top soil. The success of seedling regrowth is one of solutions to overcome seedling damage during seedling transportation.
