Abstract
Indoor plants have become an integral part of modern lifestyles due to increasing urbanization, shrinking green spaces and growing awareness of health and environmental sustainability. Beyond their ornamental appeal, indoor plants contribute significantly to improving indoor air quality, enhancing psychological well-being, reducing stress and creating healthier living and working environments. The advancement of smart floriculture has transformed indoor plant cultivation through the integration of digital technologies such as the Internet of Things (IoT), artificial intelligence (AI), automated irrigation systems, environmental sensors and smart lighting. These innovations enable precise monitoring of plant health, optimize resource use, minimize maintenance efforts and improve the quality of ornamental plants. Smart floriculture is increasingly being adopted in homes, offices, hospitals, educational institutions, hotels and commercial buildings to promote sustainable urban living. The future of indoor plants lies in combining advanced technologies with environmentally friendly production systems, ensuring efficient water management, energy conservation and reduced carbon footprints.
