This article introduces what indoor green plants are suitable for cultivation and the related knowledge of six types of indoor plants, and then let's get to know together.
1. Fiddle Leaf Fig
The Fiddle Leaf Fig is a small shrub of the Mulberry family, with lush green leaves that are large and unique, resembling little fans or violins, hence the name "violin" or Fiddle Leaf Fig.
The leaves of the Fiddle Leaf Fig are not only unique but also very textured, with a rough surface that exudes a high-end feel. Its straight trunk looks very unique, making it an elegant and stylish addition to the living room. It is also considered upscale and very suitable for the living room, making it a very popular green plant. The Fiddle Leaf Fig not only has high ornamental value but also strong purification abilities, good symbolism, and during its growth, it has a significant transpiration effect, increasing air humidity, purifying some harmful gases, and improving indoor air quality.
Key points for caring for the Fiddle Leaf Fig:
The Fiddle Leaf Fig prefers a sunny environment but is sensitive to high-temperature exposure. In addition to providing appropriate shading during the hot summer months, it can be placed in a well-lit and ventilated area at other times. Sufficient sunlight will make its leaves full of color and more attractive. Insufficient light will cause the leaves to become thin and pale, and even the leaf shape will change, losing its ornamental value. The Fiddle Leaf Fig has poor drought resistance and requires a temperature above 5 degrees Celsius in winter. When the temperature is below 10 degrees, water should be strictly controlled. In spring, summer, and autumn, water can be added appropriately to keep the soil moist but not wet. Be careful not to water too frequently as excessive water can cause root rot and leaf yellowing, or even the whole plant to wither. It is best to apply a multi-element compound fertilizer once or twice a month to meet its nutritional needs.
2. Rubber Plant
The leaves of the Rubber Plant are wide and thick, with a glossy finish. There are many varieties, with the most common ornamental types being green, variegated, and leafy. The overall plant shape looks very elegant, with a large plant and multiple branches, exuding a tropical charm. Placed in the living room, it stands out and looks upscale.
The Rubber Plant also has strong purification abilities, especially in dust removal and the purification of harmful gases. It is recognized that after a period of time, the large leaves of the Rubber Plant at home will accumulate a layer of dust. If not wiped, it will become thicker and thicker. This is mainly because its leaves have a strong ability to absorb dust and impurities, and its ability to purify various harmful gases is also recognized. Therefore, keeping a large Rubber Plant at home can significantly improve the indoor air quality. The Rubber Plant symbolizes wealth and treasure, which is very auspicious. Large ones can decorate the living room or entrance hall, while small ones can be placed on the windowsill or table, both looking beautiful.
The Rubber Plant is also known as an easy-to-care-for green plant, almost indestructible. More sun exposure, watering when the soil is completely dry, and applying a compound fertilizer once a month can ensure continuous growth. The only drawback is that it does not branch easily. It is recommended to prune and pinch back in early spring to ensure sufficient fertilizer and water and sunlight, and new buds will soon appear.
3. Snake Plant
The Snake Plant is very common in life and is a graceful green plant. Whether it's short or long leaves, they are all beautiful and can decorate various home environments, making it a versatile indoor ornamental green leaf.
The Snake Plant not only has high ornamental value but also good symbolism. According to surveys, a robust long-leaf Snake Plant can purify a 10-square-meter room by 50%-60%, effectively removing various harmful gases and dust impurities, improving air quality. Its greatest benefit is that it does not absorb oxygen at night but produces oxygen, which can promote better sleep. Therefore, it can also be kept in the bedroom. The Snake Plant also has a good symbolism, with long, thick, and sturdy leaves that represent "wealth and resilience".
