Do you want to find creative ways to decorate your rented apartment? Many rented apartments have restrictions on wallpapering and painting walls. How can you beautify your home if this is the case? You can decorate your home with houseplants without spending a lot of money. Here’s a quick overview of the top houseplants.
Popular Houseplants to Use in Your Apartment
Aloe Vera
Aloe Vera plants are a great choice if your apartment receives a lot of suns. This plant is known for its ability to monitor the quality of the house’s air and remove pollutants.
It is also great for soothing skin rashes and cuts, fighting heartburn, and acting as an efficient substitute for mouthwash.
Rubber Tree
Rubber trees are one the easiest plants to grow in a house. It thrives in cold weather and dim lighting. You can put them in the shaded corners of your apartment. They are easy to maintain and can be used as a toxin purifier.
English Ivy
The English Ivy is the best choice for purifying the air. The harmful formaldehyde is absorbed by these houseplants, which keeps the air clean. They thrive in moderate sunlight and at average temperatures. They can be grown on the ground as well as in hanging containers.
Dracaena red-edged
The attractive, red-edged Dracaena plants may grow to as high as the ceiling, but their actual efficiency is in clearing out pollutants like formaldehyde and trichloroethylene.
Why choose houseplants?
Are houseplants only helpful in beautifying a home and purifying the air? These are just a few of the many benefits houseplants have that you didn’t know about:
1. Releasing water
Photosynthesis is the process by which plants release water vapor. They actually give out 97% of the water they eat. This can make it easier to get rid of dry skin, dry coughs, sore throats, and dry eyes. This can also help you avoid respiratory diseases.
2. Release Oxygen
Do you know the most significant benefit of houseplants? Photosynthesis is when plants absorb carbon dioxide. Even at night, orchids, succulents, and epiphytic bromeliads can release oxygen (when most plants emit carbon dioxide like us). These plants can be kept in your bedroom so you can breathe easily.
3. More Health Benefits
Studies have shown that green houseplants can improve focus, attention, and blood pressure. You will experience less anxiety, headaches, and fatigue if you have houseplants.
If you’re looking for a way to decorate your apartment, houseplants are the best option. You can go straight to the market and buy some houseplants to give your home some style.
