Absorb formaldehyde and boost your feng shui - grow one of these in summer and turn your home into an oxygen bar
Grow a pot of Monstera deliciosa at home to add humidity and absorb formaldehyde!
The first thing Huahua wants to recommend is, naturally, the Monstera deliciosa (Swiss cheese plant) with its big leaves! Its leaves are broad with unique veins. Keeping a pot at home not only absorbs formaldehyde but also increases indoor humidity, instantly making you feel like you've stepped into a tropical rainforest!
Care tips:
1. The summer sun is especially harsh, particularly at noon. Be sure to shade your Monstera deliciosa and place it somewhere indoors with good indirect light. Don't let the leaves get scorched, or spots will appear on the leaf surface.
2. Summer weather is hot, so remember to water your Monstera deliciosa more often - about 1-2 times a day is enough. You can also use a spray bottle to mist the leaves. Normally you can also mix some beer with water and wipe the leaves directly to make them bigger and greener!
Grow a pot of Asparagus fern at home to disinfect and fight bacteria!
Running the air conditioner all summer makes indoor air dry, and your throat easily gets uncomfortable. That's when the Asparagus fern (ASPARAGUS SETACEUS) comes to the rescue! Its leaves are slender and look very elegant, yet it can absorb harmful gases like sulfur dioxide and chlorine, and it also secretes antibacterial substances, reducing the chances of colds and throat problems.
Care tips:
1. Never put your Asparagus fern in direct sunlight, or its leaves will turn yellow within 3 days! You can place it in the living room, study, or other spots with good indirect light, but remember never to put it in the kitchen - cooking fumes will also easily turn the leaves yellow.
2. Asparagus fern easily gets yellow leaves from lack of water in summer, so you must water it frequently. About once every 2-3 days, and be careful not to let water accumulate in the pot. Mist the leaves and the area around the pot often to provide enough air humidity and keep the leaves lush and green!
Grow a pot of Lucky Bamboo at home for academic and career success, rising step by step!
If you want to attract wealth and blessings to your home, you definitely need to grow a pot of Lucky Bamboo (Dracaena sanderiana)! Whether soil-grown, water-grown, or semi-soil semi-water, placing a pot of Lucky Bamboo at home instantly elevates the ambiance!
Care tips:
1. Place the Lucky Bamboo somewhere indoors with good indirect light, and be careful never to expose it to strong sun. If conditions allow, mist its leaves in the morning and evening to maintain humidity.
2. If a water-grown Lucky Bamboo gets root rot, find a knife, sterilize it, then cut off the rotten roots. You can cut the bottom at a 45° angle, let the wound dry, and put it back in the water bottle. Summer weather is hot, so it will basically grow roots in about 1 week!
Grow a pot of Broadleaf Lady Palm at home and the temperature drops 5°C instantly!
Summer is so hot - why not grow a pot of Broadleaf Lady Palm (Rhapis excelsa) at home! It's a very easy plant to grow, and with proper care it can grow into a big pot indoors. Placed at home in summer, it looks fresh and crisp, and you won't feel hot at all!
Care tips:
1. Broadleaf Lady Palm tolerates partial shade. Normally just place it in a corner of the living room. Especially in summer, never expose it to direct sunlight, or the leaves will quickly turn yellow!
2. Broadleaf Lady Palm has relatively large leaves. If you want it to grow rapidly in summer, remember to water it frequently. About once every 2-3 days is enough. Besides that, promptly mist the leaves and the area around the pot. You can also dissolve compound fertilizer granules in water to supplement nutrients for the palm!
