Hello World! Welcome Friends! Some people are superstitious and open their windows at new year to let the old year out and the new one in. A more pragmatic approach is to introduce new green plants to your home that clean the air and improve your mental wellbeing. In this post we look at five of the best houseplants to bring in along with the new year.
Snake Plants
If you want a house plant that’s interesting and functional then consider a Snake Plant. The plant has large green leaves with white edges, probably the reason it’s compared to a snake. That, however, is the only similarity, the Snake Plant is entirely safe.
The reason a Snake Plant is a good choice for your home in 2021 is because of its air purifying properties. The Snake Plant is excellent for absorbing toxins from the air such as benzene, formaldehyde, trichloroethylene, xylene, and toluene. These contribute to stress and poor mental wellness.
Monstera Deliciosa
The new year offers us a new opportunity to enliven our homes and energize our lives after a traumatic 2020. The Monstera Deliciosa is a great way to do this. It’s a trendy looking plant that doesn’t require much maintenance and contributes to clean air and a healthy environment.
The Monstera has large broken leaves that have character and excellent absorption properties. You can put this plant almost anywhere as the large leaves absorb low light levels. This is a great plant for beginners or people with busy lifestyles. It also gives you clean oxygen-rich air.
Bonsai Tree
If you want to fill your home with creativity and interest next year then consider Bonsai Trees. Originally from Japan these miniature trees bring something of the outdoors into the comfort of your home. They make an excellent centerpiece and give good air quality.
Although they look fantastic in your home bonsai trees can be difficult to create and maintain. Although they are not a beginner’s plant that shouldn’t put you off. If you follow the above link you will also find some advice and courses on how to create lovely bonsai trees.
Pathos
Small plants are wonderful additions to the home and work well in almost any room. You can put small plants on the window sills, on top of bookshelves, and on bedside cabinets. The Pathos Plant is ideal for this as it’s small and grows well in different levels of light.
The Pathos Plant is small and manageable in any room of the house. It has small leaves and delicate stalks that can grow quite tall. Although delicate the Pathos Plant is also hardy and is easy to maintain for busy people working from home or the office.
Dracaena
If you want a plant that looks impressive, cleans the air, and grows quite tall eventually, then the Dracaena is a good choice. Why not mark the beginning of a new decade with a plant that promises to live long and grow steady.
Dracaena is also excellent for busy people as it requires very little maintenance. You only need to water a Dracaena once every two weeks and it can survive in various levels of light. The Dracaena also adapts well to new environments so you don’t have to worry about where to place it.
