Ornamental areca tree
The ornamental areca tree is a perennial plant, which can grow year-round in suitable conditions. The leaves spread wide in the form of bird feathers, soft and naturally curved at the top, creating a feeling of elegance and softness. When placed in the living room, the tree helps the space become greener and creates an elegant highlight.
For large living rooms, a large betel nut pot can help make the space more harmonious. The plant is suitable for locations with indirect or semi-dark light, so it can be planted indoors if arranged in a place with suitable lighting conditions.
Ornamental areca trees have relatively developed roots, but it is not necessary to use a pot that is too large. Pots of moderate size help plants maintain a neat shape and are convenient for arranging in the house. You can use baskets or decorative materials outside the pot to create synchronization with the living room interior.
Due to having many leaves, ornamental areca trees release water vapor through the leaves during growth, contributing to supplementing a quantity of moisture for the surrounding environment. However, the level of impact on humidity in the room also depends on the size of the tree, ventilation conditions and living environment.
Money tree
Money tree is also a popular choice for decorating the living room. The tree has a juicy stem, glossy green leaves and grows in clusters, creating a neat and modern feeling. The tree has many sizes, from small pots that can be placed on the table to large trees suitable for large room corners.
One of the advantages of money plants is that they are relatively easy to care for. The stem has the ability to store water, helping the plant adapt to dry soil stages. Therefore, the plant does not need to be watered regularly like many other ornamental plants.
When caring for money plants in the house, the soil should be relatively dry before watering again, avoiding potted water for a long time. The plant likes indirect light and can grow in places in the house with enough natural light.
Besides the decorative value, green plants in the living room can contribute to creating a feeling of closeness to nature and improving the feeling of living space. However, ornamental plants should not be seen as a substitute for ventilation or air purifiers when it is necessary to control air quality in the house.
Note that money tree contains insoluble calcium oxalate crystals, which can cause irritation if pets or young children chew or swallow them. Therefore, the tree should be placed in a suitable position, away from the reach of young children and pets.
