6 pots of flowers placed at home boost humidity and remove dust better than a humidifier

Flowers & Gardening 0 views
Once autumn arrives, the air at home tends to get dry, so you should quickly add a few "humidifying" plants and place them in the corners of the living room and bedroom to raise the air humidity, caring for the home and for people too. If you cannot decide what to grow, then Huahua will tell you a few options, so be sure to remember them!

Golden Pothos (Epipremnum aureum)

Golden Pothos is a familiar topic. It not only purifies the air, but can also act as a "humidifier" at home. When well grown, its leaves can even produce little water droplets~ It is just that many flower lovers cannot grow it well, so see which point you did not do right:

Care tips:

1. Avoid harsh sun exposure, as it easily turns the leaves yellow or scorches them;

2. Apply ferrous sulfate once a month to avoid yellow leaves; in water culture, an iron nail can be placed in as a substitute;

3. You can spray both sides of the leaves with beer water (beer mixed with water at 1:10), and Golden Pothos will grow quickly.

Maidenhair Fern (Adiantum)

The little ferns that used to grow by the roadside have now become very popular green houseplants. Maidenhair Fern, Boston Fern and others can absorb the benzene gas given off in the home, and they can grow well even in dark corners.

Care tips:

1. Avoid sun exposure; growing in shady places is better;

2. It is best to grow them in leaf mold and crushed moss;

3. Use the spraying method when watering, spraying more on the leaves.

Cast Iron Plant (Aspidistra elatior)

Cast Iron Plant is a green-leaf flower that is easy to grow in both the north and the south. Its leaves are tough, and in some places Cast Iron Plant leaves are even used to wrap zongzi. Placed at home, it stays evergreen through the four seasons, is not prone to turning yellow, and can also add humidity and provide shade~

Care tips:

1. Water once every 2-3 days to keep the potting soil moist;

2. Yellowing leaf tips are normal; just cut them off;

3. In the north, moving it indoors in winter is enough for it to overwinter safely.

Monstera (Monstera deliciosa)

Monstera is very "obedient"; growing it for several years or even more than ten years is no problem, and it likes shade while also supplying oxygen, making it a very healthy home green plant~

Care tips:

1. Do not water too much; just water when the soil is dry;

2. Wipe the leaves often so it can grow beautifully;

3. If there are not many splits, you can move it to a place with good light, or use scissors to cut openings~

Hosta (Hosta)

Hosta is a flower with a relatively long cultivation history in China. Huahua remembers that when she was little, there was always a clump of Hosta around the front and back of the house. There are many varieties, and every year when the summer vacation ends and school starts, it blooms.

Care tips:

1. Suitable for growing in a north-facing spot; not suitable for direct sun;

2. It multiplies quickly, so do division well in spring and autumn;

3. In winter, if grown outdoors, cut off the leaves and cover with grass to overwinter.

Haworthia cooperi

For flower lovers who like succulents, Huahua recommends the jelly of succulents, Haworthia cooperi. It is crystal clear and looks plump with water. A small one can serve as a humidity "monitor" at home. If it shrivels, then your home is too dry!

Care tips:

1. During the autumn tiger period, water less and expose it to less sun;

2. Spray water on Haworthia cooperi in the morning and evening; just spray into the air above it;

3. If Haworthia cooperi shrivels, you can cover it with a plastic bottle at night to retain moisture.
