This study was performed in three factorial test based on completely randomized design and 4 repeatswith 9 treatments. The aim of this work is to study the effect of foliar application with gibberellic acid (GA3) at 0, 100 and 200 mg.L -1 and and benzyladenine (BA) at 0, 100 and 200 mg.L -1 levels. The results showed, Effect of gibberellic acid and the interaction (p<0.01) and also effect of benzyladenine (p<0.05) on soluble carbohydrates was significant for Dizigotheeca elegantissima plant. gibberellic acid, benzyladenine and the interaaction (p<0.01) on soluble carbohydrates was significant for Ficus benjamina and Schefflera arboricola plants. Results obtained in this investigation indicated that simultaneous application of 200 mg l -1 of gibberellic acid and benzyladenine significantly promoted soluble carbohydrates content in ornamental leaf Ficus benjamina, Schefflera arboricola and Dizigotheeca elegantissima plants. Results showed that 200 mg L -1 gibberellic acid + 100 mg L -1 benzyladenine increased soluble carbohydrate content of Dizigotheeca elegantissima and Ficus benjamina plants as 25.29 and 36.09% compared to control treatment. * Corresponding Author: Ali Salehi Sardoei  alisalehisardoei1987@gmail.com International Journal of Biosciences | IJB | ISSN: 2220-6655 (Print) 2222-5234 (Online) http://www.innspub.net Vol. 4, No. 10, p.263-268, 2014
