You should grow these "3 types" of flowers even if you don't have money. They remove formaldehyde and keep you healthy. 10 pots are not too many!

Of course, not every plant can absorb formaldehyde. Huahua knows that there are 3 kinds of plants whose ability to purify the air and absorb formaldehyde is comparable to that of a "vacuum cleaner". If you are decorating your home or moving into a new house, don’t miss these three plants.

1. Schefflera

Schefflera is a foliage plant with small leaves and green branches, which is very pleasing to the eye. However, its biggest benefit is that it can absorb harmful gases in the air. Someone once called it the "nicotine killer". If there is a smoker in your family, it is best to grow a pot of Schefflera ovata.

Schefflera is suitable for maintenance in a bright and well-ventilated environment. Try to maintain 4 hours of light every day, so that the Schefflera will grow lush and leafy. There are varieties of Schefflera with patterns on the leaves. If the light exposure time is not long, the patterns on the leaves will also be affected. Just keep the soil in the pot of Schefflera moist, and adjust the amount of watering according to the season. During the peak growing season, it is necessary to apply thin fertilizer and water every half a month to ensure nutrients.

2. Jasmine

Jasmine's white flowers and tender green leaves have high ornamental value. Jasmine is not only beautiful, but also has a faint fragrance when it blooms, which is refreshing. Placing a pot of flowers like this at home really has a great effect. What's more important is that jasmine can also absorb formaldehyde. This way, you can smell the fragrance of the flowers and purify the air, killing two birds with one stone.

Jasmine is different from other flowers. It needs sufficient light to bloom more vigorously. It is a good choice to grow jasmine at home and place it on the balcony or in the courtyard. The soil for planting jasmine needs to be loose and well-drained, which is very beneficial for watering during the maintenance period. Jasmine needs to be watered thoroughly, sometimes twice a day, morning and evening. We can prune the branches of jasmine regularly, so that its ornamental value will be higher.

3. Chlorophytum

Chlorophytum comosum is known as the "king of formaldehyde removal" in the plant world, so it seems best to place a pot of it at home. Chlorophytum has a strong respiration function at night and can absorb many toxic gases in the air. Besides, spider plants sprout branches and leaves very quickly, so growing one pot is equivalent to growing ten pots, isn’t it?

When caring for spider plants, be sure to place them in a semi-shaded environment and avoid direct sunlight, so that the leaves are less likely to turn yellow. Chlorophytum likes to grow in a humid environment, which requires sufficient watering. In summer, you can also spray water mist on the leaves to keep them moist. Spring and autumn are the peak growth seasons for spider plants. It is best to apply a thin layer of fertilizer and water once every half a month to ensure the nutrients needed for growth.

If you are afraid of formaldehyde in your home or want to purify the air, you can choose to grow a few pots at home. After all, the maintenance methods of these three plants are very simple, aren’t they? If you have any better plant recommendations, please leave a message in the comment section to tell Huahua!
