Trending Bonsai Picks: 6 Beautifully Natural and Distinctive Potted Plants
Today we introduce 6 trending green plants that bring a touch of nature into our lives and give busy people a little rest! 1. Snake Plant (Sansevieria). Placing several snake plants in the living room reflects a home style that loves life. Snake plants are killers of positive ions in the home air, absorbing them all, giving family members a good mood, reducing psychological stress and negative emotions such as depression, and restoring a healthy and happy life. Water moderately, following the principle of rather dry than wet. Wipe dust off the leaf surface with clean water regularly to keep the leaves clean and glossy. In spring, when new plants sprout at the root crown, water a bit more to keep the potting soil moist.
2. Cactus. Cacti mostly respire at night when it is cooler and more humid, taking in carbon dioxide and releasing oxygen, and are called a nighttime "oxygen bar"; cacti are also experts at absorbing dust. Placing a cactus indoors, especially a hydroponic cactus, can help purify the environment. The temperature should be suitable, avoiding high summer heat; in winter, to prevent cold damage, the room temperature must not drop below 5°C.
3. Monstera (Monstera deliciosa). Monstera plants are generally larger, elegant in form, and have rather airy, beautiful leaves, making them a very ideal indoor plant, suitable for display and accent in indoor living rooms and hallways, appearing simple and refined with great ornamental value. Monstera was originally a parasitic plant, and its well-developed root system is made up of fleshy roots, with high demands for loose, breathable soil. Sticky and slightly sticky soils will affect root growth to varying degrees.
4. Rubber Plant (Ficus elastica). The rubber plant is a plant with very vigorous vitality, with thick and gorgeous leaves; the leaves are broad, beautiful and glossy, the red terminal buds resemble crouching clouds, and when the stipules split open they look just like red tassels hanging down, full of charm. The rubber plant likes high temperature and high humidity conditions and sunny spots; its suitable growing temperature is 20-25°C. The most common cause of leaf drop in rubber plants is low temperature.
5. Bird of Paradise (Strelitzia reginae). Bird of Paradise has large, graceful leaves and peculiar flower shapes. Potted Bird of Paradise is suitable for arranging meeting rooms and halls, with a fresh and elegant feel. Bird of Paradise needs at least 12 hours of light per day. In summer it should be shaded appropriately, while in winter it needs fairly ample sunlight.
6. Fiddle-Leaf Fig (Ficus lyrata). The fiddle-leaf fig is a foliage plant that has become popular in recent years, and its lovely violin-shaped leaves are deeply loved by everyone. The fiddle-leaf fig has a tall, upright and elegant form with peculiar leaves, suitable as a garden tree, street tree, or potted tree. The fiddle-leaf fig likes ample sunlight, but overly intense sunlight will make the leaves lose their luster. It is best to receive about 4 hours of light per day, avoiding direct sunlight.
