Flowers & Gardening 0 views
It is so lovely to have heating in winter, but the problem that comes with it is that the air humidity is too low, the room is too dry, and people are prone to getting sick. Put a potted flower in your home. Although the several flowers recommended today are not showy, they have strong humidifying ability, just like a humidifier~

Humidifier No. 1: Dracaena fragrans!

Dracaena fragrans is a plant in the Asparagaceae family. The plant is tall, and the leaves are thick and glossy, with a slightly lighter-colored stripe in the middle. If kept for a long time, Dracaena fragrans can also bloom, in clusters, looking very prosperous.

How should Dracaena fragrans be cared for?

1. The original growing environment of Dracaena fragrans is Brazil, and it likes high-temperature and high-humidity conditions. If your home has heating, an air conditioner, or underfloor heating, there is generally no problem. If the room temperature is below 10°C, you can wrap it in plastic film to keep it warm.

2. The leaves of Dracaena fragrans are very large, which determines that its transpiration of water is relatively intense and can raise indoor air humidity. If you place it by the living room window to ensure sufficient light, Dracaena fragrans will grow better.

Humidifier No. 2: Peace lily!

Peace lily is a herbaceous plant in the Araceae family. Its leaves are deep green and slender, with clear veins. The flowers of the peace lily are white, shaped like sails setting off on a voyage, and carry a beautiful meaning.

How should peace lily be cared for?

1. Peace lily likes high-temperature and high-humidity environments. In winter, the temperature must not be lower than 14°C. If the room temperature is too low, the peace lily will suffer cold damage. If the temperature is low in the south, you can cover it with a plastic bucket.

2. Peace lily is not tolerant of sun exposure. Being placed under refracted light for a long time will quickly cause it to wilt and droop its leaves. Usually, you can place the peace lily in a corner of the room or on a desk, and it can grow normally with scattered light.

Humidifier No. 3: Syngonium podosum!

Syngonium podosum is a herbaceous plant in the Araceae family. Its leaves are broad and patterned, and its branches and leaves are like vines, full of vitality and energy. Moreover, the leaves can absorb harmful gases and transpire water.

How should Syngonium podosum be cared for?

1. Syngonium podosum is native to tropical regions and likes high-temperature and high-humidity environments. In winter, the room temperature must not be lower than 12°C, otherwise it will stop growing and suffer cold damage.

2. Syngonium podosum is not tolerant of drought or harsh sun exposure, so it is best to place it in places with softer light, such as an east or west balcony indoors, and water it once every 3 or 4 days.

Humidifier No. 4: Money tree!

Money tree is a woody plant in the Malvaceae family. Its trunk is thick, and its branches and leaves are emerald green and glossy. Keeping one pot at home is not only good-looking and humidifying, but can also invite the good omen of bringing in wealth and treasure!

How should money tree be cared for?

1. The issue that needs the most attention with money tree is watering. The money tree looks very sturdy, but its root system is actually very underdeveloped. Once water accumulates, the roots will rot, so watering once or twice a month is enough.

2. Money tree is especially afraid of freezing and will suffer cold damage below 5°C. Small pots of money tree are even less tolerant of severe cold. Gardeners in the north do not need to worry much if they have heating, while gardeners in the south should wrap the money tree with plastic sheeting to keep it warm.

Humidifier No. 5: Snake plant!

Snake plant is a plant in the Asparagaceae family. Its leaves stand upright and straight, and the leaves are leathery, thick, and glossy. It can transpire a lot of water and effectively raise air humidity.

How should snake plant be cared for?

1. Snake plant is relatively easy to grow. As long as the indoor temperature is not lower than 8°C, it can grow normally. It is not strict about light. With sun, it can grow relatively quickly, and without sun there is no major problem.

2. Because the leaves of the snake plant are fleshy and have strong water storage capacity, it is very tolerant of drought, so be sure not to water too much. In winter, generally watering once a month is enough, otherwise water accumulation and root rot are very easy.
