7 perfect plants to refresh the home
Take paper and a pen and take note of which are the indoor plants that, in addition to decorating the corners of your home, will help you clean and refresh it.
1.Aloe vera
Aloe vera is a well-known plant thanks to its multiple medicinal properties: it is part of many creams and beauty and health treatments and is an exceptional healing agent. But, in addition to all that, it purifies and cools the environment.
To be successful with aloe it is very important to place it in the sunniest location possible. If we lack a sunny interior, it would be best to grow it on a south-facing balcony.
In low light, your new leaves will be long and thin, which leads to loss of consistency and bowing of your leaves. With enough light the leaves remain stiff.
2. Pothos
The poto or potus is one of the most popular indoor hanging plants and is capable of regulating the temperature of small rooms.
It is a very resistant plant that requires very bright exposures to keep its foliage in good condition. With a lack of light, it loses its lower leaves and develops long, weak stems.
The risks must be moderate since an excess of irrigation causes the yellowing of the leaves and their subsequent fall.

4. Peace lily (Spathiphyllum)
The Espatifilo or Moses Cradle is an indoor plant with white flowers perfect for refreshing and decorating any room. Being a plant that absorbs moisture from the home, it balances the temperature.
It requires a lot of light to be able to grow and flower, although it can also survive in poorly lit areas. Of course, the direct sun causes yellowing and burns its leaves. It requires frequent spraying to provide the environmental humidity it demands.
5. Areca
The Areca palm tree is considered one of the best indoor plants as it removes harmful substances from rooms, such as formaldehyde and benzene. At the same time, it provides adequate humidity due to the evaporation of water, allowing us to enjoy pure and refreshing air quality.

They are ideal plants for bathrooms or kitchens since they absorb moisture . In addition, they are pet friendly so you will not have to worry if you have pets.

It can reach large dimensions so it is perfect, for example, for large rooms. It likes a lot of light, even direct sun, so it requires a bright and spacious environment to grow comfortably.
Irrigation must be moderate, waiting until the soil has completely dried before watering again.
