Nowadays many people have started growing houseplants indoors, they make the whole environment look more lively, and some people like them for their air-purifying effect, these plants can absorb harmful gases indoors, but now there are really too many plants suitable for growing at home, many people do not know what to grow, today I will give you some tips, let us take a look below.

The first one I want to introduce is spider plant (Chlorophytum comosum), the spider plant is the "king of formaldehyde removal" among plants, and can also absorb carbon monoxide, nitrogen peroxide, benzene and nicotine in cigarette smoke. But note that the spider plant has a well-developed root system, so the pot should be changed regularly to avoid root accumulation, which can cause yellow leaves, withering and other phenomena. So placing a pot of spider plant in the living room is a good choice, both pleasing to the eye and purifying the air, do you have one at home? If not, go get a pot right away!

Then what I want to introduce to you is begonia, a perennial herb of the genus Begonia in the family Begoniaceae, with a nearly spherical rhizome, an upright stem, up to 60 cm tall, with longitudinal ridges and hairless. Cauline leaves are alternate, the leaf outline is broadly ovate to ovate with unequal sides, the upper surface is brownish green, often with a red flush, the lower surface is lighter in color with a purplish red tinge, stipules are oblong to lanceolate and membranous, the scape has longitudinal ridges and is hairless; the flowers are rather numerous and pink, the bracts are oblong, obtuse at the apex, and fall early; potted begonias are often used to adorn the living room, display windows, or to decorate home windowsills, balconies and coffee tables, very fresh and elegant, and can also purify the air, do you have one in your living room?

There is also pothos, belonging to the genus Epipremnum, a large evergreen vine, growing in tropical regions, often climbing and growing on rocks and tree trunks in rainforests, with strong twining ability, well-developed aerial roots, and can be grown hydroponically. Pothos leaves are thin, emerald green, usually with many irregular pure yellow patches, pothos comes alive as soon as it meets water, because of its tenacious vitality, it is called the "flower of life", when grown indoors, whether potted or with a few stems cut for hydroponics, it can grow well, pothos is one of the very excellent indoor decorative plants, with bright-colored green decoration, extremely full of vitality, adding a harmonious touch of interest to the room. So if your living room does not yet have a green plant, then I suggest you grow a pot of pothos.

Finally, let us talk about chrysanthemum, which in plant taxonomy is a perennial herbaceous plant of the genus Chrysanthemum in the family Asteraceae. According to cultivation form, it is divided into cultivation types such as spray chrysanthemum, single-stem chrysanthemum, large-flowered chrysanthemum, cliff chrysanthemum, artistic chrysanthemum, and table chrysanthemum, and according to the appearance and form of the petals it is divided into cultivation types such as yuanbao, tuibao, fanbao, luanbao, luxinbao, and feiwubao. Chrysanthemum ranks third among China's top ten famous flowers, is one of the four gentlemen of flowers (plum blossom, orchid, bamboo, chrysanthemum), and is also one of the world's four major cut flowers (chrysanthemum, Chinese rose, carnation, gladiolus), with production ranking first. Chrysanthemum has a light delicate fragrance and beautiful flower colors, and is most suitable for placing in the living room.
