Phytoremediation is an alternative technology for treating leachate by utilizing plants. The objective of this study was to examine the concentrations of Total Suspended Solid (TSS), total nitrogen (TN), and cadmium (Cd) in leachate through the phytoremediation process using Chlorophytum comosum, Echinodorus palaefolius, and Hippochaetes lymenalis. The research was conducted on a laboratory scale with a batch system. The leachate was sourced from the Ngipik Landfill, Gresik, East Java, Indonesia, and was collected from the inlet of the Ngipik Landfill Leachate Treatment Unit. Acclimatization was carried out for 7 days. A Range Finding Test (RFT) was conducted by varying the concentration composition of the leachate compared to tap water, with the planting medium being 25% leachate: 75% tap water, 50% leachate: 50% tap water, 50% leachate: 75% tap water, and 100% leachate: 0% tap water (v/v). The plants used in each reactor weighed 1 kg. The reactors used for the phytoremediation process were plastic boxes with dimensions of 51 cm x 32 cm x 31 cm. The planting medium consisted of gravel-sized 10-20 mm, with a thickness of 7 cm, and soil with a thickness of 7 cm. This research showed that the average final TSS concentration of the leachate was 25.50±44.37 mg/L. The average TSS reduction efficiency reached 94.90±8.87%. The average final TN concentration of the leachate was 409.42±139.19 mg/L, with an average TN reduction efficiency of 89.73±4.62%. The average Cd concentration in the leachate was 0.0012±0.0013 mg/L, with an average Cd concentration reduction efficiency of 92.30±8.48%. The final TSS and Cd concentrations met the leachate quality standards, with values of 100 mg/L and 0.1000 mg/L, respectively. However, the final TN concentration did not meet the leachate quality standards, as the final TN concentration in the leachate was 60 mg/L.
