Living rooms have held a monopoly on indoor plants for far too long. A stubborn fern on a side table, a dusty ficus in the corner or a balcony overcrowded with forgotten pots — that used to be the default script for urban greenery.

Indoor plants have long been confined to living rooms, with ferns on side tables and ficus in corners. However, a new exhibition at Seoul Botanic Park is challenging this view, arguing that foliage should be part of everyday spaces.

Each month, the exhibition at the park's Garden Support Center changes themes to reflect how people adapt their homes throughout the seasons. Director On Su-jin hopes the showcase will change visitors' perception of plants, moving them from mere objects of a specialized hobby to companions that coexist naturally with our daily spaces, such as living rooms, bedrooms, and balconies.
October's exhibition transforms the kitchen into a green hub, showcasing practical and everyday applications for indoor plants.
