Abstract

Labisia pumila (Kacip Fatimah) is a traditional Malaysian herb widely used for women’s health, particularly in alleviating postmenopausal symptoms and aiding childbirth. Indoor cultivation allows precise environmental control, improving growth performance. Environmental data were compiled into a database and analyzed using Principal Component Analysis to identify key growth factors. Light intensity and soil moisture were found to be the dominant parameters influencing leaf development. Optimal growth occurred at 28.56 °C, 85.82 % relative humidity, 974.57 lux, and 88.17 % soil moisture, offering insights for optimized Labisia pumila cultivation.
