Abstract: To make indoor plants grow successfully under low light condition, five indoor plant species were tested in three indoor light conditions, i.e. I-about 100 lx, II- 200 lx, III-800~1400 lx. Anthurium showed significant differences of new inflorescence amount under different light treatments, and no obvious difference of other indexes. Aeschynanthus was the best under light treatment III in terms of height, spread and new shoot amount, and the difference was significant among the treatments. Leggy growth of Fittonia was obvious under weak light, while it was overcome by bright light. Epipremnum aureum and its yellow- leaved variety ‘Scindapcus’grew better with increase of light intensity. The differences of Fv/Fm among the five species were significant, and Fv/Fm of yellow-leaved Epipremnum was basically less than 0.75, whereas it was ca. 0.8 for other species. PI was less than 0.5 for yellow-leaved Epipremnum, more than 1.5 for Aeschynanthus, and intermediate for other species. ET0/CS of yellow-leaved Epipremnum was less than 120, that of Epipremnum was 120- 170, while that of other species was more than 170. The results indicated that yellow- leaved Epipremnum had low tolerance of low light, whereas other four species were suitable for indoor condition.
