Abstract

Studies were undertaken in Department of Pomology and Floriculture, College of Horticulture, Vellanikkara to evaluate different species/varieties of philodendron under indoor conditions. Based on the growth habit, thirteen species/varieties of philodendrons were selected for evaluating their performance under five different indoor light zones viz., low (<800 lux), medium (800–2000 lux), high (>2000 lux), supplementary light without air condition (800–2000 lux) and supplementary light with air condition. It was found that most of the philodendrons could thrive well under supplementary light zone with and without air condition. Species/varieties like Philodendron x Magnificum, Philodendron ‘Black Prince’ and Philodendron ‘Majesty’ could be recommended for all the light intensities tried. Philodendron ‘Red Sunlight’ and Philodendron ‘Black Beauty’ could be recommended for areas with low light intensity
