This study was carried out to obtain basic information on the proper native shade tolerant ornamental plants for the use indoor foliage plants. Four kind of native plants Calanthe discolor R. BR., Aceriphyllum rossi Eagler., Trachelospermum asiaticum var. intermedium Nakai., Saxifraga fortunei Hook var. incisolobate Nakai. and one introduced plants(Hedera helix L. 'Scutifolia') were grown in the differant temperatures arid light intensities to find out best growing indoor condition.
Three temperature which were treated diurnal and nocturnal temperature 20/15℃, 25/20℃, 30/25℃ respectively and three light intensities were applied by shading 85%, 50%, and 0% of full sun were conducted and investigated for this sturdy.
The results are summarized as fellows :
1.Calanthe discolor Lindl R. BR.
Response of growth in the different temperatures and light intensities of Calanthe discolor R. BR., the best growth were resulted in the diurnal temperature 25℃ and nocturnal temperature 25℃ to compare with higher temperature treatments (30/25℃) and 50% shading plots of natural light showed more growth than that of growth in higher light.
On the content of total chlorophyll had larger amounts in the 50% shading of natural light when to keep temperature 20/15℃, 25/20℃ than the high light (full sun) and high temperature (30/25℃).
2.Aceriphyllum rossi Eagler. were grown the best in the low temperature 20/15℃, and high light chlorophyll content also resulted condition the most in the low temperature(20/15℃) and high intensities, whereas were shown the least in the high temperature (30/25℃)and no shading.
3,In the Trachelospermum asiaticum var. intermedium Nakai. the growing condition was better growth chlorophyll content in higher temperature and higher light intensities. They gave resulted the most in 50% shading exceptionally whereas the others plots were next significant.
4.The best growth grave mere influence by the differences of light condition than tempera turn conditions in Saxifraga fortunei Hook var. incisolobate Nakai. Therefore, the 50% shading was the best growth in chlorophyll content when to keep the 30/25℃ and 50% shadings respectively.
5.In Hedrea helix L. 'Scutifolia' the growth was not particularly influenced by the different light intensities.
The temperature 20/15℃ was the least growth among all light contidions.
The figures showed higher content of chlorophyll in the temperautre 20/15℃, while 30/25℃ was the lower contents.
These results might be thought Calanthe discolor Lindl R.BR., Saxifraga fortunei Hook var. incisolobate Nakai. can be easily use for indoor plants alike Hedera helix L. 'Scutifolia' in the evaluation of temperature and light condition.
Whereas Tranchelospermum asiaticum var. intermedium Nakai. and Aceriphyllum rossi Eagler. might be thought difficult to grow the indoor because of adaptation in low light condition than temperature.
