Aloe vera likes light but can also tolerate partial shade. It should avoid direct sunlight in the summer. When the indoor temperature is below 10 degrees in the winter, it will stop growing. If the temperature is below zero degrees, there is a risk of frostbite. Aloe vera is drought-tolerant and it doesn't matter if it isn't watered for a long time, but it is not tolerant to moisture, so it's better to keep it dry than wet when watering.

Pothos

The green radish has a significant absorption effect on formaldehyde and benzene. Its broad, tender green leaves can effectively absorb dust in the air, which is very helpful in purifying the indoor environment.

Maintenance points:

Chlorophytum can be grown in water or soil. It is strong and easy to maintain. It is shade-tolerant but not resistant to direct sunlight. It needs plenty of sunlight in winter. For soil-grown Chlorophytum, reduce the amount of watering, spray water frequently and keep the leaves clean.

African Jasmine

When African jasmine grows, it produces volatile oils that have significant bactericidal effects.

Maintenance points:

African jasmine likes a warm and humid environment and loves light. Flower lovers in the north should take good cold-proof measures. The indoor temperature should not be lower than 5 degrees. Once frost damage occurs, it will be difficult to recover.

asparagus

The smell released by asparagus fern has the function of killing bacteria and beneficial bacteria, and can effectively remove bacteria and viruses in the air. In addition, asparagus fern has medicinal functions, and its fleshy roots have the effect of moistening the lungs and relieving coughs.

When caring for asparagus fern, flower lovers should follow the principle of not watering unless the plant is dry, and watering thoroughly when watering. When the weather is dry, spray more water on the leaves.

cactus

Cactus can absorb carbon dioxide and release oxygen at night, which helps improve people's sleep quality.

Maintenance points:

Cacti like light and cannot tolerate water and humidity. Too much water can easily cause the ball to rot. In winter, watering once a month is sufficient.

Clivia

According to research, two or three pots of Clivia can absorb smoke in a room of more than ten square meters, and have a particularly strong ability to purify the air.

Maintenance points:

The suitable temperature for Clivia's growth is 15~25 degrees. It will stop growing when the temperature drops below five degrees. Avoid strong light. It is best to ensure sufficient light in winter to promote flowering. When caring for the plant, pay attention to maintaining the moisture of the soil, avoid watering too frequently, and ventilate the plant frequently to help the plant grow stronger.

Monstera

Unlike Chlorophytum comosum and Chlorophytum comosum, Monstera deliciosa can not absorb various harmful substances, but it has a significant absorption effect on formaldehyde in the air. In addition, Monstera can absorb carbon dioxide at night, which is very helpful for improving indoor air.

Maintenance points:

When caring for Monstera, avoid exposing it to the sun and dryness. Spray water more often to increase the air humidity. Also, try to use loose, fertile, slightly acidic soil for cultivation. Leaf mold and peat soil are good choices. In winter, it is enough to water the plant once every three or four days, and spray the leaves with clean water every ten days or so.

Agave

Gold Diamond

Gold diamond is a natural nemesis of nicotine and can also absorb various toxic gases such as sulfur dioxide and nitric oxide. The leaves are large and can absorb dust very well.

Maintenance points:

Golden Diamond likes warm, humid and semi-shady environment. The soil in the pot needs to be kept moist during the growing period.

Brazilian Iron

The leaves and roots of Brazilian iron can effectively absorb toluene, xylene, formaldehyde and ethylene, and decompose them into harmless substances.

Maintenance points:

The normal growth temperature of Brazilian iron is 20 to 28 degrees. It will enter a dormant state when the temperature is below 13 degrees. Therefore, in the winter in the north, the Brazilian iron plant must be moved indoors for maintenance. Although the Brazilian iron plant is very shade-tolerant, it is best placed in a well-lit location in winter.

Milan

Although Milan is fresh and elegant, it is indeed a good helper in removing haze substances and can effectively purify the air.

Millennium wood

The genus Eupatorium also has a good absorption effect on substances such as toluene, xylene, and formaldehyde, and can decompose them into non-toxic substances.

Maintenance points:

The soil in the pot must be kept moist during the growing period. Lack of water can easily cause leaves to fall, but when there is water accumulation in the soil in the pot, it will also cause leaf fall. The shade tolerance of the Echeveria plant is poor, so sufficient light must be ensured during the growing period.

Maidenhair fern

The maidenhair fern also has a good ability to absorb formaldehyde and nicotine, and can effectively purify the air and beautify the environment.

Maintenance points:

The maidenhair fern likes loose and fertile soil and is not resistant to strong light. It is best to place it in a well-lit place indoors, spray it with water frequently, and maintain a high air humidity. When watering, avoid alternating dry and wet conditions, as this will easily cause the leaves to turn yellow.

Mint

The surface of mint leaves is rough and hairy, which can absorb suspended particles in haze very well.

Maintenance points:

Mint has strong adaptability to the environment and is cold-resistant and drought-resistant. When cared for at home, it can be placed on the balcony or living room in a bright place, and the soil in the pot should be kept moist during the growing period.
