Arts & Communication Design application of foliage plants

only contribute to the development of the inheritance of
traditional Chinese culture and spirit but also promote the

methods. With the continuous updating and iteration of
technology as well as industry, the bionic application of
foliage plants in the future will gradually get away from
simple imitation and become more flexible, intelligent, and
innovative.
