Tactile perception, as an efiective means of perceiving and experiencing plant landscapes, plays a role in promoting and improvinghuman health. However, research on the tactie perception effects of different leaf types remains relatively scarce. Common ommamental plant leaves with two types of leaf surfaces, namely hairless plants (Peperomia obtusifol;a) and hairy plants (Pelargoniunhortorum2),. were selected as research obiects to explore the diferences in human physiological and psychological responses causecby touching diterent leaf types. Gather physiological indicators, such as electroencephalogram activity (EEG) and heat rate variability (HRV), through tactile perception experiences. Employ the semantic difierential method for a quantitative evaluation of subiective feelings. Conduct a comprehensive analysis of leaf tactile perception, integrating both objective and subjective dimensionsThe results showed that there were signifcant differences in EEG and HRV indices between touching hairless and hairy leavesTouching the hairless leaves of Peperomia obtusifolia could significantly enhance the power of EEG alpha waves and HRV indi.ces, leading to more pleasant, relaxing emotional responses, In contrast, touching the hairy leaves of Pelargoniumn hortorum couldsignifcantly increase the power of gamma waves, which was more likely to stimulate the subiects’ aention and exploration desirewere observed in EEG indices across different genders and age groups. Subiective evaluations revealecNo significant differencesthat the leaves of the hailess plant Peperoia obusifolia scored higher for tactile comfort and emotional consistency, efrectivelalleviating anxiety. Conversely, the complex surface of the hairy plant Pelargoniumn hortorum tended to provoke anxiety and iritation, resulting in more pronounced emotional fluctuations. In summary, tactile stimulation of plant leaves with different texturescan trigger distinct physiological and psychological responses. The hailess leaves of Peperomia obtusifolia ofer a more relaxingpleasant tactile experience. In contrast, the hairy leaves of Pelargonium hortorumn induce more substantial emotional fuctuationsand a stronger urge to explore. The research findings are expected to provide ideas and references on tactile perception and experience of ormamental plants in home gardening activities and on the selection of garden plants for the blind.
