Grow a formaldehyde-absorbing, feng shui-boosting plant this summer and turn your home into a natural oxygen bar
Every day lately there's been a high-temperature warning, and Huahua feels like she can't survive without the air conditioner! In such hot weather, why not grow a few bamboo plants at home? With greenery everywhere, it's fresh and cool, turning your home into a natural oxygen bar that instantly becomes cooler!
Grow a Monstera deliciosa (Swiss cheese plant) at home to boost humidity and absorb formaldehyde!
The first one Huahua wants to recommend is, of course, the Monstera deliciosa (Swiss cheese plant) with its big leaves! Its leaves are broad with distinctive veins. Keep one at home and it not only absorbs formaldehyde but also increases indoor humidity, making you feel like you've stepped into a tropical rainforest!
Care tips:
1. The summer sun is especially harsh, particularly at noon, so 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 a little beer with water and wipe the leaves directly, which will make the leaves big and green!
Grow an Asparagus fern at home to disinfect and fight bacteria!
Running the air conditioner all the time in 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 even secrete 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, because cooking fumes will also easily turn its leaves yellow.
2. Asparagus ferns easily get yellow leaves from lack of water in summer, so be sure to water frequently in summer. Water about once every 2-3 days, being careful not to let water accumulate in the pot. Mist the leaves and the area around the pot more often to increase air humidity enough to keep the leaves nice and green!
Grow a Lucky Bamboo at home for studies and career rising step by step!
If you want to attract wealth and good fortune to your home, then you definitely need a Lucky Bamboo (Dracaena sanderiana)! Whether grown in soil, in water, or half soil and half water, placing one at home instantly elevates the atmosphere!
Care tips:
1. Place the Lucky Bamboo somewhere indoors with good indirect light, and be careful never to expose it to blazing sun. If conditions allow, mist its leaves morning and evening to maintain humidity.
2. If a water-cultured Lucky Bamboo gets root rot, find a knife, disinfect it, then cut off the rotten roots. You can cut the lower end at a 45° angle, let the wound dry, then put it back in the water-culture bottle. Summer weather is hot, so it will basically grow roots in about 1 week!
Grow a Broadleaf Lady Palm at home and the temperature drops 5°C instantly!
Summer is so hot, so why not grow a Broadleaf Lady Palm (Rhapis excelsa) at home! It's a very easy plant to grow, and with proper care it can grow into a large pot at home. Placed indoors in summer, it looks fresh and cool, and you won't feel hot at all!
Care tips:
1. The Broadleaf Lady Palm tolerates partial shade, so just keep it in a corner of the living room as usual. Especially in summer, never expose it to direct sun, or its leaves will quickly turn yellow!
2. The Broadleaf Lady Palm has fairly large leaves, and if you want it to grow vigorously 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 drop compound fertilizer granules into the water to dissolve and supplement nutrients for the palm!
