Abstract
: One way to measure the efficacy of a vertical garden is the survival of the plants that cover the growing area, which affects the beauty of a vertical garden. Thus, this research aimed to study the survival of some indoor plant species in with and without air conditioning. We selected plants from 15 families in a total of 20 plant species by review the documents related to the indoor plant and based on duplication of the top 20 plant species, and popular in the market. The study was conducted by incubating in a room with air conditioning (average of temperature and light at 25.6 Celsius and 396.6 Lux, respectively) and without air conditioning (average of temperature and light at 31.9 Celsius and 2,044.1 Lux, respectively), 8 hrs./day average light, watering one time in the initial experiment and noticed the water saturated soil. The survival condition was recorded in 3 levels, namely, the normal condition was 1, the withered condition was 2 and the dead condition was 3. The data was collected for 15 days. The results were 7 species of plants that tolerated both conditioning included asPhilodendron 'Moonlight', Aechmea fasciata, Tradescantia zebrina, Chlorophytum comosum, Dracaena surculosa, Tillandsia usneoides and Nephrolepis cordifolia. There were in Araceae, Commelinaceae, Agavaceae,Neprolepidaceae and Bromeliaceae families.
