How did the Victorians influence the popularity of indoor plants?
During the Victorian era, indoor plants gained immense popularity as part of the era’s fascination with bringing nature indoors. Ferns, palms, and other exotic plants were commonly used in parlors and conservatories as status symbols of wealth and sophistication.
