Ornamental indoor flowering plant species are species that flower for more than one season, as well as those that are grown primarily for the beauty of their flowers. On their thickened stems, cactuses sometimes bear tufts of wool. They do not have foliage and most of them have thorns. Succulents are Xerophytes that survive drought by storing water in their organs. The specific objective of this paper was to study the perception of ornamental characteristics and use of the selected species of indoor plants, ornamental flowering species and cactuses and succulents. A survey research was conducted in the area of the cities of Šibenik and Knin as a primary source of information during the preparation of the paper. The survey research was conducted in April and May 2018. The research findings have shown as follows: the attractiveness of the use of the selected species in different interiors was graded from 3.63 to 4.03 for ornamental flowering species and from 3.71 to 4.03 for cactuses and succulents. Ornamental characteristics of ornamental flowering species were graded from 3.84 to 4.13, as opposed to cactuses and succulents, which were graded from 3.42 to 4.06. The effect of different species of indoor plants on human mood was graded from 3.87 to 4.17 for ornamental flowering plant species and from 3.57 to 3.97 for cactuses and succulents.
