Hyacinth flowers have a strong fragrance and are currently known as the most fragrant flowering plants. A pot of hyacinth can fill the room with fragrance. Although the scent of hyacinth flowers is not toxic and a small amount ingested by humans does not cause significant reactions, the strong fragrance and aromatic substances emitted can cause adverse reactions in humans if inhaled for a long time. Therefore, it is important to keep the room well-ventilated when hyacinth flowers and avoid placing them in the bedroom.

Pennywort can be directly planted in a Qing Shi trough, using dried tap water. It will quickly fill the pot. Just change the water once a week, place the Pennywort in a location with scattered light, such as the living room or balcony, and add 1-2 drops of nutrient solution to the bottle monthly to keep it green and lush.

Evergreen prefers a humid growing environment, which is satisfied by hydroponics. However, extra care must be taken during the water-changing period, especially avoiding the use of dirty water. It's best to use tap water and let it sit for two hours before changing the water to help the plant roots absorb nutrients.
