The indoor plants they are not only decorative, but can also have some important benefits, such as freshening the air and elimination of odors at home.
Gardening expert Radek Babicek shared on Sun which of these plants they can freshen any part of a home, clean the air, improve your mood and increase your productivity.
The ideal plants for the kitchen
Especially the kitchen is a room that needs it hardy houseplants, due to the sudden changes in room temperature, but also the water vapor and smoke produced by cooking.
According to the expert, the best plant for this job is chlorophyte, known as spider-plant in English. “Chlorophyte is great for cleaning the air and helps in the removal of bad odorsfumes and pollutants from the kitchen environment,” he said.
In addition, the “spider” plant has minimal requirements for water and care, while with an occasional change of soil or fertilizer it can last for years.
Another plant suggested by Mr. Babicek is the common ivy. Many of us are used to it on balconies and house roofs, but this climber can also thrive in the kitchen environment.
Preferably, near one of the windows, to receive the necessary light. If you can also provide it with a small grid to climb on, it will be much easier to control its size and shape. Its only drawback is that it needs pruning a little more often.
Finally, he suggests the ultimate plant for those who have zero gardening talent, the Aloe Vera. With its thick, spiky leaves that act as water reservoirs, Aloe is adapted to withstand extreme drought, so it won’t suffer if you miss one of its regular waterings.
Still, the gel which contains possesses moisturizing and soothing propertiesideal as “first aid” for Burns and as a natural cream for dry skintwo “diseases” common to those who cook and wash dishes frequently.
