1. Pothos: Pothos is robust and adaptable, making it the first choice for indoor care. It prefers scattered light and doesn't have high soil requirements. Watering should be moderate, keeping the soil slightly moist.
2. Hanging orchid: The hanging orchid has a graceful shape and fresh leaf color. It can absorb indoor harmful gases and purify the air. It is suitable for placement on balconies or windowsills, requiring plenty of scattered light and avoiding waterlogging when watering.
3. Succulents: Succulents are cute in shape, come in many varieties, and are easy to care for. They require less water and are suitable for placement in sunny areas, but should avoid direct sunlight.
