Flowers that purify the air and look beautiful too: an experienced grower recommends several that are suitable for keeping at home

As our standard of living rises, air quality keeps getting worse, and household furnishings and other items give off harmful gases such as formaldehyde, which is very bad for people's health. In fact, keeping the air at home fresh is not hard at all: you can grow some potted plants at home. They not only have high ornamental value, but can also effectively purify indoor air. Let's take a look below!

Golden Shrimp Plant

The golden shrimp plant (Pachystachys lutea) is suited to a high-temperature, high-humidity environment with good ventilation. It dislikes waterlogged soil and likes plenty of light, but it is also fairly shade-tolerant. It is not cold-hardy, and in winter the temperature must not drop below 5°C, otherwise it is easily damaged by frost. The golden shrimp plant has a compact form and rather unusual flowers in yellow, which look very lively, and it can purify harmful gases indoors, making it especially suitable for growing at home.

Rose

The rose (Rosa) is highly adaptable and suited to a cool, moist environment. It is drought-tolerant and dislikes waterlogged soil; too much watering easily causes root rot. It likes plenty of light. Rose flowers are rather showy and have a long blooming period, and they give off waves of delicate fragrance that instantly help people relax, and the plant can also absorb harmful gases from the air, making it more than suitable for growing at home.

Jasmine

Jasmine (Jasminum sambac) is suited to a warm, moist environment with good ventilation. It dislikes waterlogged soil and likes plenty of light, but in summer it needs a little shading. It is not cold-hardy, so winter protection against freezing is necessary. Jasmine has a compact form, emerald-green leaves and pure white flowers that give off waves of delicate fragrance, creating a fresh feeling, and its scent can also remove odors from the room.
