3 Best Plants to Grow in Autumn and Winter, Beautiful and Natural Humidifiers
As autumn arrives, every day is clear and sunny, and the air becomes drier and drier. Some people place a humidifier at home to increase the humidity in the air. In fact, besides buying a humidifier, some green plants have a humidifying effect, and these 3 in particular are even called "natural humidifiers." They are also beautiful and worth getting!
1. Monstera (Monstera deliciosa)
In recent years, Monstera has become increasingly popular among many plant lovers. Its leaves have irregular splits, similar to a turtle's shell, and are especially broad. It has a strong transpiration effect, can raise indoor humidity, and can also purify the air and increase oxygen levels.
Monstera is a typical shade-tolerant plant. It can grow very well with just a little scattered light. It likes a moist environment. In autumn and summer, it can be watered once in the morning and once in the evening, and the leaves should be sprayed often to keep them green.
2. Peace Lily (Spathiphyllum)
The Peace Lily is an excellent plant for both foliage and flowers. Its plant shape is elegant, its leaves stay green all year round, and its flowers bloom pure white, giving a spotless feeling. Whether placed in a study or a hall, it serves as a very good decorative accent. It can also regulate indoor temperature and humidity through transpiration, and it absorbs odors in the air.
The Peace Lily likes a humid and warm environment. Keeping the potting soil appropriately moist allows it to grow better. When there are signs of whitening, water it thoroughly. You can spray water mist on the branches and leaves 2-3 times a day to increase humidity, encourage more new shoots to sprout, and produce lush foliage.
3. Areca Palm (Dypsis lutescens)
The Areca Palm is a large green plant. Its leaves are smooth, slender, and fully divided in a feather-like pattern. Placing one indoors gives a feeling of warmth, hospitality, and vitality. The Areca Palm has the function of evaporating water vapor and can keep indoor humidity at 40%-60%. Especially in autumn and winter, when indoor humidity is low, it can effectively raise indoor humidity.
The Areca Palm is a tropical plant and likes a warm, humid, and semi-shaded environment. It can be placed near a windowsill for care. Apply fertilizer about 2 times a month, and water it by the principle of watering when dry and stopping when moist.
