Abstract

Senecio haworthii is a succulent plant belonging to the Asteraceae family. Optimal growth conditions for this species have not been well-established. In this study, we investigated the optimal day/night temperature range for enhancing the growth and ornamental quality of S. haworthii. Four day/night temperature treatments were designed as follows: 20/15, 24/19, 28/23, and 32/27°C. Based on the plant sizes and biomass analysis, the best growth performance was determined to be achieved under a relatively low-temperature treatment of 20/15°C. Conversely, the 32/27°C treatment resulted in the lowest growth rates, likely attributed to decreased leaf function caused by prolonged exposure to high-temperature conditions. Additionally, leaf color analysis using the CIELAB color space revealed that CIELAB L*, representing lightness, and CIELAB a*, indicating green-red opponent colors, proportionally increased with the rise in day/night temperature levels. Previous studies have reported an inverse relationship between L* and plant growth parameters. Consistent with previous research, the treatment at 32/27°C, which exhibited the lowest growth, showed higher L* values. Conversely, the CIELAB b* value, representing blue-yellow opponent colors, was highest under the 20/15°C treatment, suggesting leaf-yellowing tendencies in relatively lower temperature conditions. Based on the color difference analysis using CIE76 color difference (ΔE*ab), temperatures of 20/15 and 24/19°C were used as reference points; under these conditions, the temperatures of 28/23 and 32/27°C were evaluated as having a ‘small color difference’. Therefore, even with significant differences in day/night temperatures, no noticeable differences were concluded to be found in leaf color. Based on these findings, cultivating S. haworthii in relatively low-temperature conditions of around 20/15°C is concluded to be advantageous for enhancing both plant growth and ornamental quality compared to higher temperature conditions such as 32/27°C.
