Floriculture is important from an economic, aesthetic, and social point of view in India. Economically, flower crops provide high returns and short gestation periods. The sale of loose flowers is a thriving business in South India. Aesthetically, flowers are used in Japanese flower arranging and horticultural therapy. Socially, flowers are used to express feelings and are integral to social functions and celebrations like weddings. India has a favorable climate, skilled labor, proximity to markets, and tissue culture facilities that provide scope for the floriculture industry to grow.
