“…Moreover, these ornamental plants provide multiple ecosystem services, contribute to the conservation of biodiversity and beautify the environment by adding aesthetic value. The most important factors for the maximum removal of toxic metal concentration from contaminated soil and well management of phytoremediation design are soil properties, chemistry of metal, types of plants etc (Deepika and Haritash, 2023). Previously, attention was not paid on the dendroremediation of heavy-metal using ornamental plants.…”

Increasing anthropogenic practices for industrialization and rapid gloalization have contributed to problems of metal – induced toxicity, results in severe environmental deterioration. In the current scenario, heavy- metals contamination is a major threat to living beings of the world because of these toxic metals persist in the environment for a prolong time. The phytoremediation is considered as a suitable process in present days to eliminate heavy-metals from environment as its cost- effectiveness, eco-friendliness etc. In the field of phytoremediation, the ornamental plants can be used for dual purpose – cleaning the environment and bringing the aesthetic value to the site. The ornamental plant is used as a test plant because of their high biomass and accumulate more heavy metal concentration from the soil. Moreover, as ornamental plants are not edible, so the risk of biomagnifications and bioaccumulation into the food web is reduced. This comprehensive review highlights recent progress on the applicability and advantages of ornamental plant for the phytoremediation potential in heavy- metals contaminated soil. In addition, briefly discuss on several factors that affecting the phytoremediation techniques of heavy metals and addressed their future directions for sustainable treatment of heavy metals.
