In order to increase the indoor air purification effect of plants, plants need to be placed on 5-10% of indoor spaces. To increase the density and utilization of plants in indoor spaces, studies on bio-wall, a vertical green wall system, have been recently conducted. The purpose of this study was to investigate the growth characteristics of 7 indoor plants introduced to the system and their rooting zones at different irrigation cycles. This study was conducted to investigate a proper irrigation cycle for the continuous maintenance of bio-wall systems. The conditions of their growth environment were maintained as follows: light intensity, 20-50 μmol·m^-2·s^-1 PPFD; and temperature, 20 - 25℃. For fertilization, Hyponex diluted with water at the ratio of 1:1,000 was supplied to plants. Irrigation was treated at intervals of 1, 3, 5, and 7 days for 1 hour at a time. As a result, there was no significant difference in the growth of plants between different irrigation cycles. Dieffenbachia 'Marianne' showed a significant decrease in the number of leaves at the irrigation cycle of 7 days. In addition, the chlorophyll content was relatively low at the irrigation cycle of 7 days. In terms of the color of leaves, a decrease in L value and b value and an increase in a value were observed, resulting in changes in brightness and color. Ardisia pusilla 'Variegata' showed a slightly higher photosynthetic activity and stomatal conductance when it was watered every day and once per 5 days, while Epipremnum aureum showed a relatively higher photosynthetic activity and stomatal conductance at the irrigation cycle of 3 days. In the case of root activity, it was found that the longer irrigation cycle, the higher root activity compared to daily irrigation. The development of roots of Peperomia clusiifolia was promoted by watering at long intervals. However, in the case of Aglaonema 'Siam-Aurora', the total number of roots decreased at the interval of 7 days. In conclusion, a proper irrigation cycle for the sustainable maintenance of vertical bio-wall systems seems to be 3 days.

본 연구는 하이드로컬쳐 실내녹화방법을 실내습도 개선의 중요한 수단으로 활용하기 위해, 관엽식물로 매우 보편화된 스킨답서스(Scindapsus aureus)와 싱고늄(Syngonium podophyllum)을 대상으로 하이드로컬쳐 식재 부피비율인 2%, 3%, 5% 차이와 3%의 동일한 하이드로컬쳐 식재대에서의 화분용토, 식물종의 차이에 따른 실내습도 변화를 실측하였으며, 그 결과는 다음과 같다. 하이드로컬쳐 부피비율에 따른 습도 변화에 있어서 스킨답서스의 경우, 식물이 투입하지 않았던 대조구에 비해 식물이 있는 생장상 내 상대습도가 높았다. 특히, 식물과 식재대의 용적비율이 높아질수록 습도가 높아졌다. 상대습도 25%인 대조구에 비해, 2%는 40%를, 3%는 45%를, 5%는 50%로 측정되었다. 싱고늄은 하이드로컬쳐 부피비율 2%는 40%를, 3%는 44%를, 5%는 46%로 각각 나타내어 대조구인 25%의 상대습도보다는 높았으나 부피비율에 따른 상대습도 차이는 확연하지 않았다. 하이드로컬쳐 식재대 내의 화분용토와 식물종에 따른 상대습도 변화를 살펴보면, 대조구인 하이드로볼 식재대 내의 하이드로볼 처리구에서 초기 상대습도가 다소 높았으나, 시간이 지남에 따라 물 식재대 내의 흙화분 처리구와 유사한 약 45%의 상대습도를 유지하였다. 물 식재대 내의 하이드로볼 처리구에서 상대습도가 약 30%로 나타났으며, 하이드로볼 식재대 내의 하이드로볼 처리한 산호수는 상대습도 약 38%로 측정되었다.
