Foliage plant includes all the plants grown primarily for their foliage, utilized for interior decoration and interior landscaping purpose. The importance of foliage plants has increased manifold in recent past years. Foliage plants are often used as indoor plants owing to their attractive foliage and their ability to survive and grow even under limited light.
