What plants are best for the living room
The following is an introduction for netizens about the best plants to keep in the living room and the introduction of green plants suitable for planting in the living room, which will be introduced by the editor next.
Some flower friends ask what plants are suitable for the living room? There are many plants suitable for the living room, but the living room is a place where family members often gather and receive guests, so the plants kept should not be too杂 or too bright. Therefore, the plants kept in the living room are generally leafy ones, which can stay green even in poor lighting, making people feel comfortable. Here are six plants suitable for the living room, which are easy to care for and look upscale.
Money Tree
The Money Tree is one of the most common leafy green plants in the living room, and it looks particularly beautiful when properly cared for. The Money Tree also has a good meaning, also known as the Dragon and Phoenix Wood, and some families only keep a pot of Money Tree. Many flower friends say that it is difficult to grow a Money Tree, but in fact, it is easy to care for. It has underground tubers, grows relatively fast, has strong drought resistance, and can grow well without much maintenance. The reason your Money Tree easily dies or turns yellow is mainly due to excessive watering. Control watering, avoid strong sunlight, keep the living room well-ventilated, and the Money Tree will be fine.
Happiness Tree
The Happiness Tree is also very suitable for the living room, and it can grow well even in low light. If the living room is large, you can keep a larger Happiness Tree. If the living room is small, keep a smaller one, with leaves that stay green all year round and require little maintenance. If you just bought a Happiness Tree, there is no need to fertilize, just water it when the potting soil is almost completely dry. Because most of the Happiness Trees sold in stores have been treated with controlled-release fertilizer, which is enough to maintain growth for half a year. The yellowing of the leaves and the downward growth of the leaves are mainly caused by poor root systems, which may be due to root rot or severe soil compaction. Timely repotting and changing the soil will make the Happiness Tree grow well again.
Snake Plant
The tall Snake Plant also looks very upscale in the living room. The Snake Plant should be one of the easiest plants to care for, growing well in both strong and weak light and not easily dying from drought even if not watered for a long time. Moreover, the Snake Plant does not take up much space, growing as large as the pot allows, usually developing vertically. Besides being easy to care for and look beautiful, the Snake Plant also has a strong air-purifying effect, making it a "oxygen generator" in the living room, which is why so many flower friends like it. The Snake Plant is drought-resistant but not flood-resistant, so watering should be controlled. Especially in the summer when temperatures are high, controlling water intake prevents root rot.
What plants are best for the living room
Ch君子兰
Ch君子兰 is very suitable for keeping in the living room, with flowers to admire when in bloom and leaves to look at when not. Ch君子兰 symbolizes resilience, strength, wealth, and auspiciousness, making it very upscale for the living room. However, to make Ch君子兰 bloom smoothly, it should be exposed to more sunlight in the autumn and winter seasons, otherwise, it may not bloom or bloom poorly. In the summer, which is the dormant period for Ch君子兰, avoid strong sunlight, stop fertilizing, increase ventilation, and reduce watering frequency. Every July is a good time for the bud differentiation of Ch君子lan, and by the end of August, it should be gradually exposed to direct sunlight (in the southern regions, it might be around mid-to-late September), and it can bloom in the winter and spring seasons. In the northern regions, Ch君子lan might also bloom in the summer, twice a year.
Prosperity Tree
No matter whether you like to grow flowers or not, many living rooms have a Prosperity Tree. The Prosperity Tree has a good meaning and name, and it is popular due to its strong ornamental value. However, some people say that the Prosperity Tree is difficult to care for and prone to root rot. This is mainly because the watering is not done properly. The Prosperity Tree is very drought-resistant, and the roots of those grown at home are usually weak and few, so excessive watering can cause rot. Water less, spray more on the leaves (when the air humidity is low), and the Prosperity Tree will not rot and its leaves will stay green and look good. If you find that the roots of the Prosperity Tree are rotting, clean the rotten part promptly, replant it with healthy soil, and control watering to allow new roots to grow.
Banana Tree
The Banana Tree is also suitable for the living room, with a tropical feel. Besides being beautiful, the Banana Tree also has the ability to purify the air and increase humidity. Therefore, when keeping a Banana Tree in the living room, it should be watered a bit more frequently than plants like the Prosperity Tree and Happiness Tree, as it has a strong leaf evaporation capacity and requires more water. However, the Banana Tree is a plant from the south and is sensitive to cold. If kept in a too-dry environment for a long time, it will grow poorly or the leaves will easily turn yellow. It is not easy to grow a Banana Tree well in the north, but in the south, with good ventilation, it can easily achieve an upscale look.
