Abstract

The objective of this research was to identify adequate light conditions for the growth of Cyrtomium falcatum during the exploitation as an indoor plant. Four levels of shading and four different artificial light treatments were employed to C. falcatum. The growth of the plant was best with 70% shading (18.5 $\mu{maolm^{-2}as^{-1}}$) and relatively good with 90% shading (9.3 $\mu{mol\;m^{-2}\;s^{-1}}$), indicating the possibility of growing under indoor light conditions. Under fluorescent light at 30 $\pm$ 3 $\mu{mol\;m^{-2}\;s^{-1}}$, the growth was better than under sun light at 20 $\pm$ 2 $\mu{mol\;m^{-2}\;s^{-1}}$. These results suggest that C. falcatum is naturally adapted to indoor light conditions. Thus, it can be concluded that C. falcatum is easily cultivated under indoor light conditions with supplemental artificial light.
