This study has aimed to clarify the management condition for the foliage plant as the interior goods to grow healthily. Under a different environment, five kinds of the foliage plant; Dracaena sanderiana, Ficus pumila, Dracaena fragrans cv. "Massangeana", Fittonia verschaffeltii, Codiaeum variegatum compared differences of the growth from the photosynthesis ratio, the SPAD value, the amount of the leaf etc. As a result, it has been understood that the difference between the large influence of the difference of a light condition on the amount of growth, and frequency of watering produces a big influence on the mortality rate. The influence was different depending on the kind of the foliage plant. The management of Dracaena sanderiana and Dracaena fragrans cv. "Massangeana" was comparatively easy. The difference of a light condition much influences growth of Ficus pumila. The management of water condition much influences growth of Fittonia verschaffeltii. The management of Codiaeum variegatum was difficult, because both water and light condition was much influences for its growth and mortality rate.
