Abstract
This systematic review analyses the impact of indoor plants on various aspects of indoor environments and occupants' perceptions using bibliometric tools. The use of tool helps in identification, classification, and trend of research related to indoor plants effect on occupants’ perception based on published manuscripts. Analysis brings out that a prominent number and quality publications from various research groups have offered evidence that indoor plants can have prominent impact on feelings of emotional states, self-assessed performance, and overall space satisfaction, as well as the impression of indoor climate. The published works encompassed scholarly articles, empirical studies, and surveys that examined the influence of indoor plants. However, some studies similarly did not find any benefits. While some others recommend careful consideration before placing indoor plant because doing so occupies functional space, require initial investment, augment maintenance cost, and also poses challenges with increased humidity, allergens, and the plants' own emission of volatile organic compounds. As a result, choosing to bring indoor plants require careful consideration. The corpus of research on the benefits of indoor plants for interior spaces and occupant perceptions is still lacking in conclusion. A few well-designed studies have been done to look at the effects of indoor plants on occupants in terms of temperature comfort, perception of air quality, sick building syndrome, emotional state, and task performance. To fully understand the impact of indoor plants on interior settings and occupant well-being, more research is necessary and a direction for future research is established through this manuscript using advanced analytical tools.
