FAQ About Ethical Sourcing of Indoor Plants

What are exotic plants, and why are they often linked with unethical sourcing?
Exotic plants are species that are not native to a particular region and often attract collectors due to their rarity or unique characteristics. They are frequently linked with unethical sourcing because the demand for these plants can lead to overharvesting from wild populations and illegal trade. This can threaten their survival in their natural habitats and disrupt local ecosystems. Ensuring ethical sourcing of exotic plants is essential to maintain biodiversity and protect vulnerable species.
