Only when houseplants are placed in the right spots can they do their job better

Pothos, spider plants and money trees are all very common houseplants. They have good meanings and outstanding air-purifying abilities, yet some plant lovers still fail to grow them well. In fact, the placement of these plants is quite particular too. Different plants have different living habits, and only a suitable spot lets them grow better.

1. Money tree - living room

The money tree (Pachira aquatica) prefers an environment with scattered light. An environment that is too shady or too sunny is not good for its growth.

Its plant shape is attractive, and its stems, branches and leaves stay green all year round. It is a very popular indoor foliage plant, and its meaning is very good too, carrying the idea of bringing in wealth.

2. Pennywort - balcony

Pennywort (Hydrocotyle vulgaris) has relatively high demands for light and water. Once it lacks sunlight, it easily grows leggy, and a lack of water easily makes its leaves wilt.

5. Pomegranate - balcony
