What is the importance and scope of the foliage plant industry?
Tropical or subtropical plants selected for their ability to be grown indoor are referred to as foliage plants. Foliage plants are used to improve the appearance of interior spaces, a practice known as interior plantscaping.

The production of foliage plants in the U.S. ranks third behind bedding plants and potted flowering crops.
In the U.S., Florida accounts for 69% of foliage plant production followed by California, Texas, and Hawaii.

What cultural practices are used in commercial foliage plant production?
Foliage plant production involves propagation of plant materials, rapid growth under optimum growing conditions, and preparation for sale. Different foliage plants require different
methods of propagation. Most foliage plants do well with soilless
media with a pH of 5.5 to 6.5.
![Page 15: Horticulture CD Unit B1 - 9 Floriculture. Problem Area 1 Greenhouse Crop Production](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022032612/56649eff5503460f94c14d73/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Light requirements for most foliage plants are between 1,500 and 8,000 foot candles.
Foliage plants do best with night temperatures between 65ºand 80ºF and day temperatures between 75º and 95ºF.
Watering depends on the species.

Provide a constant feeding program at 150 ppm nitrogen, 25 ppm phosphorus, and 100 ppm potassium.
Foliage plants must adjust to a new environment. To prepare plants for sale, light intensity and fertilization should be reduced 4-6 weeks before sale. The process of becoming accustomed to

less humid, darker, and cooler environments than found in the greenhouse is known as acclimatization.
![Page 18: Horticulture CD Unit B1 - 9 Floriculture. Problem Area 1 Greenhouse Crop Production](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022032612/56649eff5503460f94c14d73/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
How should foliage plants be cared for in the home or office?
Most foliage plants can be acclimatized to the indoor environments and thrive if given proper care. There are some general guidelines that can be followed. Select plants for the conditions they will
encounter. Provide optimum lighting for the plant
species.

Maintain temperatures above 55ºF. Humidify the air in winter months. Select appropriately sized containers. Repot the plants when they become root
bound. Water as needed rather than on a
schedule. Fertilize sparingly.
