Abstract
Abstract Ficus elastica ‘Decora’ Roxb. ex Hornern, Peperomia obtusifolia (L.) A. Deitr, and Hedera helix ‘Hahn’s Self-branching’ L. were produced under 15 and 30 klx light levels and treated with 4 concentrations of ancymidol (alpha-cyclopropyl-alpha-(p-methoxyphenyl)-5-pyrimi-dinemethanol) and several weeks later were placed in an interior holding environment for 6 weeks. Ficus was taller and heavier when produced under 15 klx light; different ancymidol concentrations caused no significant growth effects. Peperomia was taller with increasing light and decreased in growth with ancymidol treatments. After 6 weeks in the interior holding environment, plant grade increased with increasing production light for Peperomia and remained the same for Ficus. Both Ficus and Peperomia maintained similar responses to production treatment after 6 weeks indoors. Hedera was not influenced by production light or ancymidol treatments.
