The wood biomass of decorative plants can be used as solid fuel or cut, and the obtained boards and laths are used for making various objects. Fruits (seeds), flowers, leaves, stems and roots of decorative plants were also analyzed. Certain plant organs such as boxwood, linden and birch leaves are used for medicinal purposes. These plants can be grown on decorative surfaces in gardens for their own needs and prepared to prepare teas and other medicinal drinks that are used as means to improve the health of people, but also domestic animals and pets. As decorative plants are valued, among others, the Oman, which blooms for a long time forming beautiful yellow inflorescences that are also used as cut flowers.
