A small humidifier - hydroponic peace lily

If your space at home is limited and you can't fit large potted plants, what should you do? Easy - you can grow several pots of peace lily. They humidify cleanly and bloom in all four seasons, acting just like a small humidifier!

How do you care for hydroponic peace lily?

1. Never put peace lily in a place with too much light, otherwise it will only grow leaves and not bloom.

2. Change the water about once a week, and add a little charcoal or aspirin to the water to help prevent root rot.

A little humidity expert - pothos

Pothos has full, dense leaves and a good humidifying effect. On top of that, it grows quickly, can trail down into a waterfall, and can also climb all over a wall, greatly expanding the humidifying area!

How do you care for pothos?

1. If conditions allow, train the pothos vines to hang or climb the wall, and it will grow even faster!

2. Water thoroughly only after the potting soil becomes lighter and drier. This helps the roots and aerial roots grow. Mist the leaves often.

How do you care for a money tree?

1. Be sure to water it sparingly. Poke about 4-5 cm down into the potting soil surface, and water thoroughly only when it is dry.

2. Mist the leaves often. You can add 2 granules of compound fertilizer to the spray bottle to make the leaves larger and greener!

An essential plant for humidifying - Dracaena fragrans

Dracaena fragrans has broad, slender leaves and can release relatively more water into the air, raising air humidity. At the same time, it can also absorb dust from the air, making the air at home fresher.
