Keep these 5 plants in the living room for fresh air, high style, and a cool summer

These days, besides their love for succulents and small potted plants, more and more people prefer to keep some medium-to-large potted plants in the living room. Although they are a bit troublesome to care for, it is also a joy to do so! Today, Buyan recommends several medium-to-large green plants suitable for the living room. With just a little care, you can also turn your home into a private botanical garden!

1. Areca palm

The leaves of the areca palm look like peacock feathers. They are not only highly ornamental, but the plant also grows very quickly. If you want to keep it green all year round, you need to know that the areca palm likes a semi-shady, humid growing environment and is best kept in a bright living room. In summer, we should pay attention to maintaining the air humidity around it. You can often mist the leaves, which not only increases air humidity but also keeps the leaves green and fresh

2. Monstera

As the name suggests, the leaves of the monstera look like a turtle's back. The lush green leaves are split, and its air-purifying effect is also quite good! Moreover, its potted plants come in large and small sizes, so it is convenient to keep whether in the living room or the bedroom.

Now the weather is getting hotter and hotter. To help the monstera grow better, we need to move it to a place where it can be shaded. Do not let sunlight hit it, because its leaves are relatively large and transpiration is relatively strong, so its demand for water is great. In summer, we should keep the potting soil moist and not let it lack water. The soil must be loose and breathable, and there should be no water accumulation, otherwise it is very easy for the roots to rot. You can also mist the leaves to increase the surrounding air humidity. With a lush green monstera, the indoor air is fresh, and you can spend a cool summer

3. Fiddle-leaf fig

The leaf shape of the fiddle-leaf fig is just like a violin, and its name also reveals an artistic flavor. Keeping one at home is very beautiful, and it is said to bring good luck too!

The leaves of the fiddle-leaf fig are relatively large and transpiration is relatively strong. In summer, when the temperature is high, we should often mist its leaves. We can also apply fertilizer appropriately during its growing period, applying light fertilizer frequently, so that its leaves will become green and bright and full of vitality!

4. Dragon tree

The meaning represented by the dragon tree is very good, and many people keep one at home. It not only plays a decorative role, but its air-purifying effect is also superb! However, it grows relatively quickly, so we need to prune it regularly. Otherwise, if it is allowed to grow wildly, it will look especially messy and disorderly.

5. Rubber tree

The leaves of the rubber tree are dark green, thick and fleshy, and it looks like a quite sturdy plant. It can grow very tall. In summer, we can place it in a spot with scattered light. As long as it is not exposed to long-term direct sunlight, it is fine. We should also water it often and wipe its leaves, and fertilize mainly with multi-element fertilizer or fertilizer based mainly on nitrogen fertilizer, applying light fertilizer frequently, so that its leaves will become glossy!

With these kinds of plants, and after a period of careful care, your own private botanical garden will begin to take shape. In the reinforced concrete forest of the city, let our souls rest comfortably here!
