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.
