More and more people like growing flowers, and many place all kinds of potted green plants in their living room, balcony, bedroom and kitchen. They can beautify the home and purify the air. Especially in the living room, placing some bold, elegant plants gives a very good decorative effect; it can both give people a warm and natural feeling and show off the owner's taste.

Just like the money tree, the ZZ plant and lucky bamboo, these are all very common living room flowers.

Today I will share two kinds of plants with you, both of which grow huge turtle-back leaves; kept in the living room, they can grow to a height of 1.5 m.

Monstera deliciosa

Monstera deliciosa is a common household flower, suitable for placing in a spacious living room, because the whole plant can grow very tall, and its leaves and stems are both very large. It is called Monstera deliciosa because its leaves look very much like a turtle's shell. Kept at home, it symbolizes the family's good health and the elders' longevity and peace. At the same time, Monstera deliciosa is also a very easy flower to grow and is not fussy about its growing environment.

Growing methods

Monstera deliciosa likes to grow in a spacious, ventilated environment, so it is suitable to place it in the living room. At the same time, Monstera deliciosa is also a shade-tolerant plant, so its requirements for light are not high. Generally it can be placed in a spot farther inside the living room; as long as there is scattered light, the plant can grow normally. During care, avoid direct sunlight burning the leaves. It needs to be repotted and given fresh soil once every spring, then fertilized in spring and autumn; for fertilizing, mainly choose nitrogen fertilizer. Monstera deliciosa is also a drought-tolerant plant, but it likes to grow in moist soil. Kept at home, water it normally once a week; before watering, check the dryness and moisture of the soil, and after it has completely dried out, water it thoroughly in one go. Kept at home, the huge leaves of Monstera deliciosa can absorb dust from the air and have the effect of purifying the air.

Alocasia

Compared with Monstera deliciosa, Alocasia is slightly smaller in plant shape, but the Alocasia plant can also grow to a height of 1.5 m, which is completely suitable for an ordinary household. It also has huge leaves and thick, sturdy stems, and also has turtle-back-like leaves, very huge and emerald green. Kept at home, it symbolizes the family's good health and the elders' longevity and peace. Alocasia is a very easy household flower to grow, with low requirements for light, water and fertilizer.

Growing methods

Alocasia is a plant suitable for growing indoors, because it is afraid of strong light, so placing it in the living room with scattered light can meet the plant's normal growth needs. Generally, placing it in the living room lets it grow quickly. It needs to be repotted and given fresh soil every spring and autumn, because its root system is very well developed, so during growing put base fertilizer at the bottom of the pot to ensure the plant has sufficient nutrients. During care, water normally; in summer, spray the leaves once a day, and the plant can grow normally.

Both of these plants grow huge turtle-back leaves. Kept at home, they carry very good meanings, and both are easy-to-grow plants. Flower lovers who like them should quickly give them a try.
