6 Useful Plants for Your Home

Houseplants not only decorate the windowsill but also maintain the microclimate, saturate the air with oxygen, and even help cope with stress. We tell you about the most useful ones.

Aloe

Want to live longer and get sick less? Plant aloe at home. No wonder this plant is called a centaur— it boosts immunity, adds energy and vigor, and even helps with bad mood. Its juice has healing properties.

Lemon

It effectively removes excess moisture from the air and smells wonderful when blooming. You don't have to buy it— you can easily grow a lemon from a seed. However, to make your tree bear fruit, you'll have to work very hard.

Ficus

Probably the most popular houseplant. Unlike the lemon, ficus humidifies the air by saturating it with oxygen. Those who don’t like cleaning will definitely appreciate the superpower of the ficus— absorbing dust from the air.

And here's a bonus— ficus is very low-maintenance in care.

Dracaena

An exotic dracaena not only decorates any interior but also purifies the air from harmful chemicals.

This amazing plant promotes wound healing and even helps focus to find the right solution in a difficult situation.

Sansevieria

This plant has other names too— 'father's tongue', 'pike tail', or 'snake hair'. Sansevieria also filters the air in your home and releases a large amount of oxygen.

Also, even children can take care of it— it doesn't require frequent watering and can live in any corner of your home.

Chlorophytum

A charming plant with long green leaves and a true champion in air purification and humidity in your home. It actively absorbs carbon dioxide and even neutralizes negative energy. By the way, it removes mold spores from the air.
