Determination of substrate composition, light, and temperature for interior plant growth

Abstract

This article presents the experimental results for determining the composition of the substrate, light and temperature for growing houseplants. Substrates were prepared in 8 different variants. The properties of the substrates were evaluated on the basis of 3 types: high, medium, and low. The amount of light required for the growth of houseplants is the result of a seasonal study. The effects of daily light fall and outdoor ambient temperature in the interior environment was studied for one year, and the results obtained were tabulated. According to the attitude of plants to light, they were divided into light-loving, semi-shade, shade-loving species.
