The document discusses interior and exterior landscaping. Interior landscaping adds benefits like color, oxygen, textures and life to indoor spaces. It can increase employee productivity and decrease absenteeism. However, interior plants face challenges from reduced light and root space as well as dependency on people for watering. Exterior landscaping provides similar benefits of color and life outdoors while gaining water from rain. However, exterior plants are susceptible to too much rain, diseases in natural soil, and require more effort for weeding and pest control over large areas.
