Abstract

This study was carried out to investigate growth characteristics of woody plants that are widely used indoors in accordance with irrigation frequency and to find the optimum irrigation conditions for plants that help to improve the indoor environment. Four woody plants used in this study included Ardisia pusilla, Clusia rosea, Fatsia japonica, and Ficus elastica. They were planted in pots with a diameter of 10cm and cultivated in three different irrigation frequencies: two times per week, one time per week, and one time per two weeks. After 120 days, they were measured by plant height, fresh weight, dry weight, SPAD value, leaf color, leaf water potential, chlorophyll fluorescence (Fv/Fm), and photosynthetic rate. The average soil moisture content was $48.8{\pm}2.1%$ in two times per week, $25.2{\pm}4.4%$ in one time per week, and $10.3{\pm}2.4%$ in one time per two weeks. For A. pusilla, leaf water potential was higher, and Fv/Fm value was 0.731 in two times per week irrigation, showing more wetness. For A. pusilla, F. japonica and F. elastica photosynthetic rate was significantly lower in one time per two weeks irrigation, appearing to be more sensitive to drying than C. rosea. When irrigated one time per week, with the soil's volume average moisture content of 25%, all four woody plants used in this experiment proved to grow smooth. Thus, it was determined to be good for use in indoor landscaping.

본 연구는 실내에 많이 사용되는 목본식물인 산호수(Ardisia pusilla), 클루시아(Clusia rosea), 팔손이(Fatsia japonica), 인도고무나무(Ficus elastica)를 대상으로 관수주기에 따른 식물생육 상태를 측정하여 향후 실내 환경개선에 도움이 되는 조경식물의 적절한 관수주기를 구명하고자 수행하였다. 목본식물 4종을 10cm 포트에 식재하여, 관수주기를 2회/1주, 1회/1주, 1회/2주의 3수준으로 하여 120일 동안 처리한 후, 초고, 생체중, 건조중, SPAD, 엽색, 엽수분포텐셜, 엽록소 형광(Fv/Fm), 광합성율을 측정하였다. 실험기간 동안 평균 토양수분함량은 2회/1주 $48.8{\pm}2.1%$, 1회/1주 $25.2{\pm}4.4%$, 1회/2주 $10.3{\pm}2.4%$ 순으로 나타났다. 2회/1주 관수 시 산호수는 엽수분포텐셜이 높게 나타났고, Fv/Fm이 0.731로 나타나 과습에 대한 스트레스를 보였다. 1회/2주 관수 시 산호수, 팔손이, 인도고무나무의 광합성율은 유의성이 없어 클루시아에 비해 건조에 민감한 것으로 나타났다. 1회/1주 관수하여 평균 토양수분함량이 25%일 때 본 실험에 사용된 4종 목본식물 모두 실내 생육이 원활한 것으로 나타나 실내조경용으로 이용성이 높을 것으로 판단된다.
