Introduction
Plants are living things that need nutrients for their survival, as living organisms
plants naturally produce their own food or given by humans, so there is some differences in
Sansevieria trifasciata plant that growth at different points of its life which is growing
directly on the ground and growing in the pot. This research is done in order to compare
morphological differences of the growth of Sansevieria zeylanica which live directly on the
ground and live in the pot.
Material and Methode
The object of observation is Sansevieria zeylanica. The equipments are ruler to
measure the width and the length of the leaves, pen, notebook to collecting the data, and
phone camera to take photos.
The methods of this observation is, first we choose 3 samples of Sansevieria zeylanica
that planted on the ground and in the pot. In each sample we measure the length and width of
the leaves by using ruler.
Result and Disscussion
From the observations that we done, we collected the data and make it based on the
table below.
Final data:

Based on the table, we can see the differences of leaf size between the pot plant, field plant,
and based on the references. The growth of Sansevieria zeylanica on the ground is better than
the plant in the pot.
The factor that may affect the differences is the attendance of detritivor. So it can increase the
nutrition in the soil. In open space of soil, Sansevieria zeylanica’s root can grow more and
freely. So it can absorb more nutrition in the soil.
For the color, there is no significant difference. Because color usually depend on the light
intensity.
Conclusion
Based on the data that we collect, we found some morphological differences between field
plant, plant in the pot, and based on the references. From the averages, we can see that the
differences is not too significant. But field plant grow better than the plant in the pot
