FAQ About Ethnobotancial Uses of Indoor Plants

One common misconception is that all plants used indoors have been chosen purely for their aesthetic value. In ethnobotany, however, plants often hold significant cultural, medicinal, or practical importance. Another misconception is that the benefits of indoor plants are universally recognized across cultures, yet interpretations and uses can vary widely. Additionally, some may believe all indoor plants are native to the culture using them, when many have been imported and integrated over time.
