Floor space index

Floor space index

Floor space index (FSI)is also called the Floor area ratio. [hana-code-insert name=’rectangle’ /]It is the ratio of the total floor area of buildings on a certain plot to the size of the total area on that location. In a formula we can put it as:

Floor area ratio/floor space index= total area covered on all floors of a building/area of the plot.

In simpler words we can say that a floor space index of 2.0 would imply that the total floor area of a building is two times the gross area of the plot.

Floor space index used in zoning

The floor space index is used in zoning to define a limit of the total construction that can be done on a plot. Let’s take an example to further explain this. If the zoning permitting authority permits 0.1 floor space index, then in such a case, the total area of all floors can only be limited to one-tenth of the total area of the plot.

Now herein an architect can either plan for a single storey building utilising the entire allowable area in one floor or a multi storey building that rises higher above the surface of the plot. By combining both horizontal and vertical limits in a single figure more flexibility is allowed in the building design while getting a harder limit on at least one measure of overall size. One advantage here to fix this parameter is that the floor area correlates well with other parameters such as the total parking for commercial use or the total number of units for residential use or total load on municipal services. The amount of these things remains constant irrespective of how that area is divided horizontally or vertically. This is the reason why the authorities find it necessary to include limitations on height too when using floor space index.

A healthy money plant grows up to 12 feet long but on an average it does grow up to 7 feet. [hana-code-insert name=’rectangle’ /]No expensive care is demanded by the plant and its maintenance is not a tough task. For taking good care of your money plant, you need to know some very important tips. These tips are given below.

Pot for your money plant

This is the first thing that you have to consider when you decide to grow a money plant at home. This size of the pot depends on what size you wish to grow your plant. You might need to re-pot your plant as the growth takes place very fast. The pot must be of an optimum size and neither too small nor too big. A small pot can become a hindrance in its growth and a too big pot can become cumbersome when re-potting.

Soil for you money plant

A soil that has good aeration and drainage is best suited for money plant. Mix river sand and normal potting soil and you can get great soil for you money plant’s growth. You could also opt for high pearlite content soil. They grow well in slightly moist soil.

Watering your money plant

When provided with adequate amount of water money plant grows healthy and fast. Over watering can cause great harm to you much loved plant; so avoid it at all costs. Watering your money plant once every 7 to 10 days is sufficient in normal weather conditions. You must judge when to water next by looking at the condition of the soil. Never wait until the soil starts to crack up. This would mean your plant is dying for water. Never be too late or too soon in watering your money plant. If the soil seems to be moist enough do not water it again. A good judgement is therefore needed to estimate when your plants needs water next.

Lighting conditions for your money plant

Money plant can both grow indoors or outdoors. Your plant needs both sunlight and shade for its optimum growth. So provide it alternatively. Harsh sunlight or too much of shade and darkness is bad for the health of a money plant.

Other needs of your money plant

Although the plant doesn’t need any special care or attention but a little special care can be really helpful for the health of your money plant. Providing liquid fertilizers after every few days is a great way to make sure your plant is in a healthy state. Protection of you plant from extreme cold is very important. Regular spray of pesticide will protect your money plant from the attack of pests and insects.

So take good care of your money plant and see it grow healthy and long.
