Introduction
Since ancient times, ornamental plants have played an important role in human society, and their significance extends well beyond simple
aesthetic value. These plants, with their attractive shapes, hues, and scents, have been cultivated and treasured for their capacity to improve
both our interior and outdoor environments. The environment is made healthier by ornamental plants. By removing pollutants from the air and
releasing oxygen, which is essential for human health, they contribute to better air quality. Additionally, they encourage biodiversity, offer
habitat for species, and aid in maintaining a healthy ecosystem. These plants can serve as windbreaks, shielding other plants and buildings, and
they also help to prevent soil erosion. More than just lovely decorations, ornamental plants have a deep cultural importance, a long history, and
a host of advantages. As we continue to value and grow these plants, we not only acknowledge their importance to our wellbeing and the health
of the earth, but also celebrate their beauty.

Orchid Orchidaceae Orchids need bright light to
produce blooms. However,
direct sun can burn them.
They prefer humidity levels
from around 40% to 70%.
You can keep an orchid
blooming longer if you
provide a warm and
somewhat humid
environment. Don't place
your orchid where it will
experience cold drafts,
exposure to direct sunlight,
or dry air from heating vents.
In Asia and Australia, it is known
beneficial for Alzheimer’s and
heart diseases. It has the various

People take wild daisy tea for

also use it as a drying agent
(astringent) and as a “blood
purifier.” Wild daisy is sometimes
applied directly to the skin for
wounds and skin diseases.
Snake plants have gained
attention for potential health
benefits, although scientific
research is ongoing and some
claims require further validation.
Some potential benefits of snake
plants include:
1. Air Purification: Snake plants
are known for their air-purifying
abilities. They can help remove
toxins like formaldehyde,
benzene, and xylene from indoor
air, which may contribute to
improved air quality.
 maintenance plants are also
tolerant of low humidity and
require minimal fertilization
during the growing season.
Regular inspection for pests,
like mealybugs or spider
mites, and occasional
pruning to remove dead
leaves are essential for their
health and appearance.
Repotting when root-bound
every 2-5 years helps
maintain their growth and
well-being.
Peace lily/ White Spathiphyllum Peace lilies (Spathiphyllum)
sails thrive in bright, indirect light
and prefer consistently moist
but not waterlogged soil.
Maintain temperatures
between 65-80°F (18-27°C)
and avoid drafts. They
benefit from higher humidity
but can adapt to lower levels.
Fertilize with a balanced
liquid fertilizer during the
2. Enhanced Sleep: Snake plants
release oxygen at night and
absorb carbon dioxide, which
may improve air quality and
potentially lead to better sleep in
indoor environments.
3. Humidity Regulation: While
many indoor plants release
moisture, snake plants do not.
However, they are still associated
with a calming and soothing
presence in interior spaces, which
can contribute to overall well-
being.
4. Reduced Stress: The presence
of indoor plants, including snake
plants, can have a calming effect
on people and reduce stress.
Peace lilies are known for more
than their aesthetic appeal, they
offer several potential health
benefits as well. These include
their ability to improve indoor air
quality by removing toxins such
as formaldehyde, benzene, and
ammonia. Their presence can
help reduce respiratory irritants,
making them especially beneficial
for individuals with allergies or

out for common houseplant

Paper flower Bougainvillea Bougainvillea needs lots of
spectabilis sun. Bougainvillea should be
planted on higher ground or
hillsides, not in water-logged
or low areas where water
might collect. They will grow
best when given enough
space to spread out, and
should be planted in an area
that will allow them a
minimum of 5-6 hours of
sunlight every day. In
general, the plant blooms
best with direct sunlight and
shorter days, which you
might not be able to control.
However, you can increase
blooms by planting
bougainvillea in well-
draining soil, watering it
infrequently, fertilizing it
asthma. Peace lilies also have a
calming effect, potentially
reducing stress and anxiety.
However, it's important to note
that while they can help purify
the air, they are toxic if ingested,
so they should be kept out of
reach of pets and small children.
Bougainvillea is not only said to
help with a cough, sore throat,
and bronchitis. It can also help flu,
fever, diarrhea, diabetes, and
hepatitis. The aqueous extract
and decoction of this plant have
been used as fertility control
among the tribal people in many
countries. Furthermore, it has
been shown to possess
anticancer, antidiabetic,
antihepatotoxic, anti-
inflammatory,
antihyperlipidemic,
antimicrobial, antioxidant, and
antiulcer properties.
