Plant these two kinds of flowers together to absorb formaldehyde faster and more vigorously, and live 20 years longer!

1Living Room

Combination: Monstera and rubber trees make the air fresher

Monstera

Monstera is shade-tolerant and ranks first in the formaldehyde absorption ranking. It can be said to be a free purifier and can effectively absorb toluene and other volatile substances. Huahua has a pot of it in her bedroom. It is not only beautiful but also easy to maintain.

Monstera maintenance tips:

Just keep it moist during the growth period. The humidity in the bedroom is high, so there is no need to spray water frequently. For safety reasons, it is best not to apply fertilizer, and Monstera can still grow well.

Rubber Tree

The rubber tree ranks 15th on the formaldehyde absorption ranking. The reason why Huahua recommends it is because it is beautiful and has strong drought resistance, so it does not need to be watered frequently. Moreover, the rubber tree is relatively shade-tolerant and can grow well even in a north bedroom.

Rubber tree maintenance tips:

An environment with scattered light is enough, and the soil should be kept moist or semi-moist. The temperature in winter cannot be lower than five degrees, otherwise it will easily freeze to death. Huahua once put a rubber tree on the balcony and it froze to death. It was so sad.

2Kitchen

Combination: Iron Cross Begonia and Miniature Coconut Tree effectively absorb smoke

Iron Cross Begonia

The kitchen is where cooking and washing vegetables takes place. It is full of smoke and the air quality is poor. When choosing plants, on the one hand, they should not affect human operations, and on the other hand, they should be able to effectively absorb harmful gases. So Huahua recommends two plants that are smaller in size and have strong formaldehyde absorption capabilities. The first one is the Iron Cross Begonia. The color of its leaves is very distinctive, with a dotted feel, like the back of a frog. But don't underestimate it, as it ranks fifth in the formaldehyde absorption ranking.

Maintenance tips for Iron Cross Begonia:

Iron Cross Begonia likes a warm and humid environment, which the kitchen environment can fully meet. Water frequently to keep the soil moist, but without any standing water. Every time you cook, just check whether the soil in the pot is dry.

Miniature Coconut

The second type is the miniature coconut palm. The leaf shapes of the two plants can be perfectly matched. The miniature coconut palm has a good absorption effect on formaldehyde, toluene and trichloroethylene. The scattered leaves also have a certain bactericidal effect, which can make our kitchen cleaner and more hygienic.

Miniature coconut palm maintenance tips:

The miniature coconut palm is a plant that can be grown hydroponically. Flower lovers who love cleanliness can choose hydroponically grown miniature coconut palms to avoid bacteria brought by the soil. The miniature coconut palms grown in soil do not need to be watered every day. In summer, they only need to be watered once every three or four days.

3. Toilet

Combination: Green radish and white palm are better for removing odors

Pothos

The bathroom is more humid and the light is weaker, so when choosing plants, you should first choose shade-tolerant plants, and then consider its absorption effect. Otherwise, you can't even keep it alive, so how can you expect it to purify the air? Huahua first recommends you the green ivy and white calla lily. One can be placed on the ground and the other can be hung on the wall, and both have strong shade tolerance.

Key points for caring for green radish:

The formaldehyde absorption effect of green radish is not very strong, but it is shade-tolerant and moisture-tolerant, and can effectively absorb odors, making it very suitable for growing in the bathroom. Just keep the soil in the pot moist during the growing period. It is an easy plant to grow, so I won’t go into details about the flowers.

White Anthurium

White calla lily is also called smooth sailing, which carries everyone's good meaning. If you have a pot of such flowers at home, your life will be smooth sailing.

Key points for the maintenance of white palm:

A diffuse light environment is sufficient. It prefers a warm and humid environment. The best planting soil is a mixture of peat, perlite and leaf mold. If the light is too strong, it is best to provide shade.

4 Bedrooms

Combination: Aloe vera and tiger lily help you sleep better

Aloe Vera

The bedroom is where we rest and sleep. A good air environment can make people rest more comfortably. Aloe vera and snake plant are both plants that can release oxygen at night. The combination of the two can allow you to sleep peacefully all night until dawn.

Aloe vera maintenance tips:

Aloe vera has fleshy leaves and a strong water storage capacity. It does not require much water, so you must control watering. It is only necessary to water it once a week to half a month. The soil in the pot should be semi-moist. If it is too wet, the roots will rot easily. In addition, opening windows frequently for ventilation is good for the human body and can also make aloe vera grow better.

Tiger Piranha

The leaves of the snake plant have yellow patterned lines, which makes it look very fashionable and modern. Huahua also placed a pot of snake plant in the bedroom. I have to say that even a very rustic flower pot can make your room instantly look tall and elegant.

Tiger Pilan maintenance waist point:

First of all, you must choose sandy soil, and of course you can't water it too much. Like aloe vera, Sansevieria is also a drought-tolerant but moisture-intolerant plant. Huahua only waters the snake plant she grows once a month. If you find that the leaves of the snake plant have shriveled one day, do not water it thoroughly immediately. First, spray it with water to allow the shrunken leaves to recover, and then water it again.

5. Restaurant

Combination: Chlorophytum and Lucky Bamboo Make Your Meals More Delicious

Lucky Bamboo

The dining room is where we eat. If we put two pots of flowers in the room, the food will smell delicious. When placing flowers in the restaurant, try to choose foliage plants to avoid pollen falling on the food. Huahua recommends two plants to you here: lucky bamboo and spider plant. Lucky bamboo can be cultivated in water and can absorb some formaldehyde. The most important thing is that it has good meaning, representing good luck, wealth, peace and health.

Key points for lucky bamboo care:

In summer, lucky bamboo grown in water is prone to breeding bacteria, so the water should be changed frequently to avoid water contamination. When leaves turn yellow, trim them in time and add a little ferrous sulfate to the hydroponic bottle to reduce the yellowing phenomenon.

Chlorophytum

Chlorophytum's absorption of formaldehyde is weaker, but it is easy to maintain, is strong, and rarely suffers from diseases and pests.

Chlorophytum maintenance tips:

Maintain under diffuse light, avoid direct sunlight, and keep the soil in the pot moist during the growth period. When the air is too dry, you should spray water on the leaves frequently, otherwise it will easily cause the tips of the leaves to dry out.
