Phenology is a study on periodicity sightings of plants in relation to climate, such as flowering time and flushing. Flushing means the growth of shoots/ flush simultaneously. This study aims to observe the shoots and leaves growth in response to light intensity under the difference of growing positions and environmental factors. This study used purposive sampling as a descriptive method. The growing positions of flush were on terminal and axillary of the plant, both in exposed and shaded conditions. The growth pace speeds of Amherstia nobilis and Brownea capitella in exposed condition were faster than shaded condition. The rate of growth was accompanied by a change of color. The changing color of A. nobilis leaves were faster for two months than B. capitella. This study showed that light intensity and growing positions of the plants (terminal and axillary) influenced the growth of both species.
