Plants Suitable for Growing in the Office

Office plants can include the following, which are also fairly common and practical.
1. Spider plant: big effect, low cost
There is a kind of spider plant - also called "Zhebie crane" - that is not only attractive but also especially effective at absorbing toxic gases. Zhang Ying says that one pot of spider plant in a room of 8-10 sq m is equivalent to an air purifier, and even in a room that has not been renovated, keeping one pot is very beneficial to people's health. This kind of spider plant costs 3-8 yuan per pot.
2. Cacti and other oxygen-releasing plants
Most plants absorb carbon dioxide and release oxygen during the day, and do the opposite at night. But cacti, snake plants, sedum, aloe and spider plants all absorb carbon dioxide and release oxygen all the time. Cacti and sedum cost about 5-10 yuan per pot; snake plants come in two types: golden-edged and pure green. The pure green ones are around 20 yuan per pot, and the golden-edged ones are about 1/3-1/2 more expensive; the market price of aloe varies quite a lot. These plants are all very easy to keep alive.
3. Peace lily and other plants that release fresh air
At present, larger plants such as the peace lily and camphor tree are fairly popular on the market; they can release a fresh kind of gas that makes people feel cheerful. The peace lily is also called "cinnamon", and its market price is generally 80-100 yuan per pot. When buying this kind of plant, be sure to check the potting soil: if the roots and soil are tightly bound together, it is pot-grown; otherwise it was field-grown. When buying, choose pot-grown ones, because pot-grown plants have already adapted to the local climate and are easier to keep alive.
4. Monstera deliciosa absorbs carbon dioxide
Also known as guibei banana, Penglai banana, wire lotus and dragon palm, it is an evergreen climbing plant. A floral saying goes, "Monstera deliciosa is strong in ability, it sweeps carbon dioxide clean"; it has a very strong ability to absorb carbon dioxide at night, more than 6 times that of other flowers.
5. Canna absorbs sulfur dioxide
Also known as red flower banana, corn flower, phoenix-tail flower and broad-hearted ginger. A floral saying goes, "Canna has strong resistance, it can bring sulfur dioxide down"; it has a very strong ability to absorb sulfur dioxide.
Placement of office plants:

Nowadays more and more people are starting companies, and generally everyone likes to put some green plants in the office, which can not only beautify the environment but also improve the fortune of the office area. Let us look at plants suitable for growing in the office.

When choosing plants, be sure to pay attention to whether the size matches the office environment. If a small office chooses a large plant, it will take up too large an area and affect work. If a large office chooses a small plant, the effect will not be great.
When placing plants, avoid putting them where people often pass. Otherwise their spreading branches and leaves may block people's walking, and being frequently disturbed by people is also bad for the plants' growth. In addition, plants especially must not be placed in the center of the office area, otherwise it forms a "trapped" character layout.
