What flowers and plants are suitable for growing in the kitchen?

The kitchen is generally small in area and is equipped with cookers, kitchen cabinets, etc., so the arrangement should be simple rather than elaborate, and small rather than large. The temperature and humidity in the kitchen vary greatly, so you should choose small potted flowers with strong adaptability, such as pansies. Specifically, you can choose small azaleas, small pines, or small dragon trees and ferns, placed on top of the food cabinet or by the window. You can also choose small hanging pots of spiderwort and spider plants, hung on the wall farther from the stove.

In addition, edible plants such as small red chili peppers, scallions, and garlic can be hung on the wall as decoration. It is worth noting that the kitchen should not use flowers with too much pollen, so that when they bloom the pollen does not scatter into the food.

Spider plants can be placed by the window, on top of the kitchen cabinet, or in an empty spot on a storage rack; you can also use some vegetable leftovers on an empty countertop, such as the leafy stem ends of radishes and cabbage, inserted into a shallow dish of water as a decoration, which will also reflect the characteristics and atmosphere of the kitchen.

The kitchen is the place with the heaviest cooking fumes, so you need to choose plants that are tenacious, small in size, and able to purify the air: spider plants, pothos, ball cacti, and aloe are all very good. Note: because the smoke and steam in the kitchen are not good for plant growth, it is best to give the flowers and plants a bath regularly. Placing a lucky bamboo at the drain can also prevent cockroaches.

Different kitchen orientations are suitable for placing different plants

If the kitchen is located in the south, placing foliage plants helps with saving; located in the east, it is very auspicious. If it is not due east, placing red flowers on the table or near the refrigerator is beneficial for maintaining good health; if located in the west, placing golden-yellow flowers, narcissus, and stock by the window can bring wealth luck; if located in the north, placing pink and orange flowers can add vitality to the room.
