But there are so many plants you can keep at home now that many people don't know what to grow. No worries, below I'll share a few plants that are very suitable for keeping at home. Let's take a look, it will definitely help you.

The first one I want to introduce to you is Dragon Tree (Dracaena), also called the tree that bleeds, the holy herb for blood circulation, and the longevity star among plants. The dragon tree has a graceful and neat shape, with varied leaf shapes and colors. It is very suitable for keeping at home and is an excellent choice for modern indoor plant decoration. Small and medium potted flowers can be placed in the study, living room and bedroom, while medium and large plants can beautify and furnish halls. Moreover, the dragon tree has low light requirements. In a dark room it can be enjoyed continuously for 2-4 weeks without any problem, and in a bright room it can be placed long term. So if you want to keep a plant at home, you can consider the dragon tree.

Next let me introduce the African Daisy (Gerbera), a perennial herb with deeply pinnately lobed leaves, solitary flowers in a head inflorescence, and flower stalks rising above the foliage. Common varieties include the red Passion, the yellow Sun Dance, the white Bianca, and so on. With large, beautifully colored flowers and an elegant, pleasing look, it is an important indoor decoration and also an important material for cut flower arrangements. Along with rose, gladiolus and carnation, it is listed as one of the world's four best-selling cut flowers. Potted African daisies are often used to decorate doorways, living rooms and so on, while their cut flowers are used in vases, in arrangements, and to accent desks, shop windows and living rooms. The African daisy not only has such high ornamental value, but is also a little expert at purifying air, a green weapon against formaldehyde and benzene. Placed appropriately indoors, it can purify the air and keep indoor air fresh. So the African daisy is also a top choice among indoor plants.

There is also the Peace Lily (Spathiphyllum), also known as white sail, a new generation of indoor potted flowers that can be used as cut flowers and has very high ornamental value. The peace lily not only has high ornamental value, but can also filter indoor waste gases, and is effective against ammonia, acetone, benzene and formaldehyde to a certain degree. Moreover, a peace lily grown in water can regulate indoor temperature and humidity through transpiration, and can effectively purify volatile organic compounds in the air. Placed next to the gas stove in the kitchen, it can purify the air and also remove cooking odors, oil fumes and volatile substances. So if you want to keep a plant at home, I suggest you keep a peace lily.

Finally I want to talk about pothos (Epipremnum aureum). Its stems are slender and soft, and its leaves are delicate and beautiful, pleasing to the eye. Besides having high ornamental value, it is also a champion of air purification. No one can deny that pothos has an extremely strong air purification function and has earned the reputation of a green purifier. Pothos can not only convert formaldehyde into substances such as sugar or amino acids during metabolism, but can also break down and absorb benzene emitted by copiers and printers. Environmentalists have found that one pot of pothos in a room of 8-10 sq m is equivalent to an air purifier, and can effectively absorb harmful gases in the air such as formaldehyde, benzene and trichloroethylene. A plant this good at purifying air is very suitable for keeping at home.
