When your home is humid and your body feels damp, grow these 7 moisture-absorbing potted plants for beauty and health

Summer has many thunderstorms, and the humidity is high, which is bad for your health. In particular, some middle-aged people have dampness in their bodies, often feeling weak and heavy, which affects their lives. So we can place some flowers at home that can absorb moisture to change the air quality and let us live more comfortably and healthily.

Snake plant (Sansevieria) has low environmental requirements, so it can be placed anywhere. Its leaves are large and can absorb water vapor and some harmful substances from the air, improving air quality. To grow snake plant, you can divide it in spring, or propagate it by leaf cuttings. For leaf cuttings, you only need to prepare a leaf about 5cm long, insert it into breathable soil, then spray water once every 3-5 days, and it will grow in just over a month. After it has grown well, there is no need to worry; do not water until the soil is dry, and its reproductive ability is very strong.

Spider plant (Chlorophytum) likes moisture, so it is very suitable for growing in a humid environment. The more humid it is, the easier it grows, and it grows very well. When growing spider plant, we need to spray monopotassium phosphate, or mix beer and water at a ratio of 1:50, both once every 10 days, so the spider plant can grow quickly and may even produce little plantlets, which can be cut off and grown in water or soil, and the spider plants will multiply.

Arrowhead plant (Syngonium) not only has large leaves, but also many of them. It has no special requirements for the environment; it is both sun-resistant and cold-resistant, and different varieties have different leaf patterns. Water propagation is relatively easy; you only need to prepare one leaf and insert it into water and it will quickly take root. If you want it to grow quickly, add 2 drops of nutrient solution, or 1 vitamin B tablet.

Aloe is a very valuable green plant. Its leaves are thick and fleshy, and it stays green all year round. It not only has medicinal value and can beautify and nourish the skin, but also has ornamental value, can purify the air, and decorate the home.

Aloe is not suitable for cuttings, as the survival rate is low. We can use division propagation in spring, place it in a bright environment, and to ensure thick leaves, repot it every year, and water thoroughly each time.

Monstera (Monstera deliciosa) is suitable for surviving in dark, humid places, grows very vigorously, and can also absorb harmful substances from the air, so it is very suitable to keep a pot.

When propagating monstera, use division in spring. Water only when the soil is dry. To make it grow quickly, you can mix beer and water at a ratio of 1:200 to make beer water and water it with that.

Fiddle-leaf fig (Ficus lyrata) absorbs harmful substances from the air during respiration, purifying the air, and it is not afraid of shade or humidity. It can be propagated in water; choose a relatively thick leaf, insert it into water, and change the water frequently, once every 2 or 3 days, and it will take root in about 2 weeks. If it is bought, place it indoors, avoid direct sunlight, water about once a week, and apply liquid fertilizer once every half month.
