house-plants
Houseplants are ornamental species, often tropical epiphytes, succulents, or cacti, that are cultivated indoors for aesthetic and practical purposes. They serve as valuable models for studying plant adaptation to low-light, humidity-controlled, and resource-limited environments, offering insights into stress tolerance and physiological resilience. Research on these species also informs our understanding of plant-mediated air purification and the broader ecological roles plants play within built environments.
