What to do about autumn dryness? These 4 potted plants each beat 2 humidifiers
Growing plants is not just for looks; many flowers and plants have their own special functions. Autumn is here, and dryness makes it easy to catch a cold, so why not keep a potted plant at home? It can stand in for a humidifier~
The unassuming corn plant beats 2 humidifiers
The corn plant has emerald green, broad leaves. Its water evaporation is relatively strong, so it can release a lot of water vapor and raise indoor humidity, making it a very good natural "humidifier."
Care tips:
1. The corn plant has a relatively high water demand. Water it once a week, and mist the leaves every 3 days.
2. Place the corn plant in a spot with good light and keep it in sufficient sunlight.
3. In winter, move it indoors to prevent the leaves from being damaged by frost.
The unassuming snake plant beats 2 humidifiers
The snake plant (Sansevieria) is a common green plant. Its leaves are firm and upright, it can absorb harmful gases, and it releases water vapor through its leaves, helping raise indoor humidity. Keeping one pot at home is not only attractive but also makes the home less dry.
Care tips:
1. The snake plant is drought-tolerant; watering once every 8-9 days is enough. If the room temperature is high, you can water more often, and mist the leaves every 3 or 4 days.
2. Place it in a spot with good light. If the light is not good, that is fine too; move it outside to get some sun once a week.
3. The snake plant likes warmth, so keep the indoor temperature above 7 or 8 degrees.
The unassuming peace lily beats 2 humidifiers
The leaves of the peace lily evaporate water very quickly, which can effectively raise indoor humidity and help prevent dryness of the human nasal mucosa. The peace lily can also absorb ammonia, acetone, benzene, trichloroethylene and formaldehyde, which helps purify indoor air.
Care tips:
1. The peace lily is relatively shade-tolerant; about 60% scattered light is enough to meet its growth needs.
2. The peace lily is a heat-loving species and should be grown in a high-temperature greenhouse. In winter, the minimum nighttime temperature should be 14-16°C, and the daytime temperature should be around 25°C.
3. In summer and dry seasons, frequently mist the leaf surface with a fine-nozzle sprayer, and sprinkle water on the ground around the plant. In winter, control watering, and keep the potting soil slightly moist.
The unassuming areca palm beats 2 humidifiers
The areca palm's leaves are emerald green and fresh. One pot of areca palm evaporates a lot of water every day, equivalent to a natural humidifier, with very noticeable effects. In addition, the areca palm can absorb harmful gases such as xylene and formaldehyde, purifying our environment.
Care tips:
1. The areca palm likes a warm growing environment and is not cold-resistant, so in winter it should be moved indoors.
2. Place the areca palm in a semi-shaded place such as the living room, which ensures scattered light and prevents direct sun exposure.
3. Ventilate at noon every day, and water again once the potting soil turns pale.
