What fragrant plants are good for your health when placed in a room?

Besides beautifying the environment, growing flowers can also absorb gases in the air that are harmful to the human body, so green plants are something many households keep. So among the countless flowers and plants, which ones are especially suitable for lazy growers to care for while also bearing fragrance? Let's take a look below.

Clivia

Clivia, also known by the names large-leaf blood lily and sword-leaf blood lily, is a plant whose blooms look like a torch burning upward, leaving an unforgettable impression. Its flowers come in many colors, including red, pale red, apricot red and white. Besides its ornamental value, it can also kill bacteria in the air.

For home care, Clivia is sensitive to cold, with a growing temperature of around 15-25 degrees. It likes light but fears strong direct sunlight, so it is best placed in a spot with diffused light. It prefers loose, fertile soil, and for watering, simply follow the rule of keeping the soil slightly moist.

ZZ plant

The ZZ plant is also called the money tree; just from the name you can tell it brings wealth. Placing it in the home symbolizes endless money, and feng shui masters suggest flower lovers put it in the family's "wealth position" to enhance the effect of bringing in wealth and treasure. In appearance, its leaves are pinnately compound, and each one looks like a hanging copper coin.

For home care, its suitable growing temperature is between 22-28 degrees Celsius. In daily care it can be placed in a spot with plenty of sunlight, but note that in midsummer above 35 degrees it should be kept away from direct sun, and when the winter temperature falls below 15 degrees Celsius it enters a slow-growth stage, while below 10 degrees Celsius it begins to drop leaves.

Jasmine

In the plant world, jasmine ranks among the flowers with a rich fragrance. Once its scent is released, it refreshes the mind and soothes the nerves, and it can also purify the air. Its flowering period is usually from May to around early November.

For home care, it likes a warm, humid environment. The soil can be a slightly acidic soil rich in humus, with a growing temperature of 25-35 degrees Celsius, and it is suitable for placing on a balcony, windowsill or other spot with plenty of sunlight. In winter, when the temperature cannot be below 3 degrees, it should be moved indoors, otherwise it is prone to frost damage.
