4. Radermachera sinica

Also known as the bean tree. Small and medium-sized potted plants can be placed on the balcony, in the bedroom, the entrance hall and other places.

Also known as hanging pot grass, hanging orchid, fishing orchid, orchid grass and folded crane orchid, and in Western Europe as spider grass or airplane grass, it is highly adaptable and one of the most traditional hanging plants for the home. Its leaves are slender and soft, and small plantlets grow out from the leaf axils, hanging down from the edge of the pot, spreading and trailing like flowers, evergreen all year round. The spider plant is the "king of formaldehyde removal" among plants.

9. Lucky bamboo

Originally called Dracaena sanderiana, also known as bamboo banana, ten-thousand-year bamboo and longevity bamboo. It is mainly used as a potted ornamental plant, with high ornamental value, and symbolizes "great good fortune and prosperity". Because its stems and leaves closely resemble bamboo leaves, when arranged on a windowsill, desk or display stand, it is sparse, upright and noble, leisurely and free, giving people a feeling of wealth and good fortune.

10. Asparagus fern

Grown indoors, it can clean the air, kill bacteria and help regulate indoor air.

11. Anthurium

14. Umbrella tree

Also known as Schefflera octophylla. Potted plants arranged in the living room, study and bedroom carry a strong contemporary feel. They can bring fresh air to households with smokers.

15. Areca palm

It is a high-end potted foliage plant for decorating the living room, dining room, conference room, family rooms, study, bedroom or balcony. Like Alocasia macrorrhizos, it has the function of evaporating water vapour. If an areca palm is grown at home, it can keep indoor humidity at 40%-60%, especially in winter when indoor humidity is low, effectively raising indoor humidity.

16. Rubber plant

Its leaves are large and glossy, evergreen all year round, and it is a large shade-tolerant foliage plant. Potted plants are a good material for embellishing hotel halls and family rooms, and in the south they are often arranged in front of buildings, at the centre of flower beds and along both sides of roads.

17. Snake plant

It can be used for potted ornament and flower bed arrangement, and is suitable for decorating homes and office environments, playing a good role in beautifying the environment and purifying the air.

It is often grown in small and medium-sized pots and used to decorate and arrange places such as the home study, bedroom and living room.

19. Ping'an tree

Originally named Lanyu cinnamon; because its bark can be used as medicine, with effects of dispelling wind and dispersing cold, relieving pain and resolving blood stasis, and invigorating blood and strengthening the stomach, and because its plant body is rich in cinnamon oil (the main component being cinnamaldehyde), which can also give off a fragrance that corrects odours and purifies the air, people in the flower planting and flower business gave it an auspicious name, "Ping'an tree" (Peace tree)

Tips: When placing plants, it is best not to obstruct people's movement; when placing them, also pay attention to combining medium and small sizes to achieve a well-arranged visual effect. For example, relatively large plants can be placed at the living room entrance, in a hall corner, beside the stairs and other places that do not affect people's activities; small foliage plants can be placed on coffee tables, low cabinets, desk cabinets, at corner sofas and so on.
