7 instagram plants for healthy families

1. Bedroom: a snake plant, also known as mother-in-law's tongue (yes, it's real) or tricolor chrysanthemum, is a great plant, almost anywhere, said horticulturist Justin Hancock Costa farm, one of the largest plant growers in the country. First, it's completely low maintenance: it grows in low, medium, or bright light and doesn't mind if you water it infrequently or regularly. Basically, even those who are not good at plants can make them survive. Oh, yes, it looks cool, too, with bold green hues and bold lines. What makes it suitable for the room you spend most of your time in? "It's the best choice for a bedroom because it's an efficient air purifier that releases oxygen at night," Hancock said. Bathroom: karacia

you may have never heard of karacia (sometimes referred to as peacock, rattlesnake or zebra plants), but it's likely you've seen pictures of it on instagram because this gorgeous tropical indoor plant is becoming more and more popular. Because it likes humidity, the bathroom is the best place for it. "It's a bit famous in the dry air, so putting it in the shower helps it stay happy and healthy," says gardener Justin Hancock. It will help keep your bathroom a little fresh and clean, he added, because it removes VOCs, mold spores and other nasty things from the air. Kitchen: red palm

looking for bright, colorful and exotic things to add vitality to your cooking and eating space? Anthurium is a plant genus, about 1000 species, orange, pink, purple, red or white, is a good choice. First of all, its leaves and enduring flowers are heart-shaped, helping to put a smile on your face when frying cabbage. Hancock said that because it comes from the tropics, "it appreciates the extra warmth and humidity," making it the perfect kitchen plant. Extra bonus? "It rewards your care with its ability to purify the air."

4. Study or living room: if you want to find a larger potted plant to fill an empty corner of the study or living room, then Ficus Ali may be your best new friend. Elegant and richly textured leaves will make the room more bright, with some lush life atmosphere. As for care, it will not be too picky. "It grows best in a bright place, but it doesn't mind medium light," says horticulturist Justin Hancock. Bonus? As we all know, its cousin's crying figs get angry and scatter leaves all over the ground, while Alii is not so messy - even if you don't have a perfect care program. They will help keep the air clean.

5. Office or work space: indoor plants have been scientifically proven to reduce stress. Given that work tends to tighten our nerves in the worst way, what better leaves to decorate your desk than so-called nerve plants? The amazing tropical plant, also known as Fittonia albivenis, is characterized by bright green leaves with a mix of red, pink or white, so you can activate your cubicle with any color you like. It's also kept small and tidy, so you don't have to worry about it growing out of bounds and getting into the space of your colleagues. Don't worry about being near the window. Horticulturist Justin Hancock said: "the nerve plant can tolerate low light, can grow without sunlight, and can survive and thrive under fluorescent light." Children's bedroom: Desert gemstone

desert gemstone color cactus is not only colorful, but also very easy to care. It is an ideal plant for premature baby room. Soft prickly cacti (no, they don't have so many thorns, so you don't have to worry about getting hurt) come in bold shades of green, blue, purple, pink, red, orange or yellow, adding a touch of joy to any space. But gardener Justin Hancock says their best feature is that they can survive for weeks without water, making them ideal for children and even adults.

7. Restaurants: succulent plants

you can see them from upscale retail stores to restaurants unless you live under rocks. If you want to add some elegance to your table, try juicy cutlery. "These meaningless pla nts come in many colors and textures, and most of them are low growth, so you don't have to worry about them taking up too much space," says horticulturist Justin Hancock. They grow best in strong light and may only need watering every few weeks. If you really want to get health benefits from your juiciness, consider adding aloe to your collection. It can be used in everything from treating scratches and relieving itch bites to supporting thyroid and intestinal health.
