Whois & Analysis for joyusgarden.com

A houseplant is a plant that is grown indoors in places such as residences and offices.

Houseplants are commonly grown for decorative purposes, positive psychological effects, keeping fresh or health reasons such as indoor air purification.

Plants used in this fashion are most commonly, though not always, tropical or semi-tropical epiphytes, succulents or cacti.

In botany, succulent plants, also known as succulents or sometimes water storage plants, are plants that have some parts that are more than normally thickened and fleshy, usually to retain water in arid climates or soil conditions.

The word "succulent" comes from the Latin word sucus, meaning juice, or sap.

Succulent plants may store water in various structures, such as leaves and stems.

Some definitions also include roots, so that geophytes that survive unfavorable periods by dying back to underground storage organs may be regarded as succulents.

In horticultural use, the term "succulent" is often used in a way which excludes plants that botanists would regard as succulents, such as cacti.

Succulents are often grown as ornamental plants because of their striking and unusual appearance.

Gardening is the practice of growing and cultivating plants as part of horticulture.

In gardens, ornamental plants are often grown for their flowers, foliage, or overall appearance; useful plants, such as root vegetables, leaf vegetables, fruits, and herbs, are grown for consumption, for use as dyes, or for medicinal or cosmetic use.

Gardening is considered to be a relaxing activity for many people.
