3 types of ornamental plants with beautiful leaves, easy to grow for busy people

Hàn Lâm |

For busy office workers who love nature, ornamental plants with beautiful and easy-to-care for leaves are an ideal solution.

1. Split-leaf betel

Possessing large, uniquely split and artistic leaves, betel leaves are a type of ornamental plant that brings modern and luxurious tropical beauty to any corner of a living room or shady balcony.

You should choose pots with 3 to 5 glossy green leaves, clearly defined slits, plump stems and no yellow spots or pests or diseases on the underside of the leaves.

2. Trau ba thanh xuan

Deeply split leaves like large, evenly stretched feathers, youthful betel leaves create a majestic and lively feeling. This type of foliar plant has the ability to effectively purify the air, helping the space to always be airy.

You prioritize plants with evenly spread canopies in all directions, healthy roots, dark green leaves and no wilted leaves close to the base.

3. Orange seeds

Orange seedlings are one of the most popular leaf ornamental plants thanks to their neat appearance. When young, the leaves are bright green and when old, they turn dark green and glossy.

While the leaf stem is bright orange like fire, stretching long and sturdy, creating a strong contrast.

In low-light conditions indoors or air-conditioned rooms, this plant has a moderate growth rate.

When planted outside, the plants grow quite well. Giant lines have leaf sizes from 55 - 60 cm long or larger depending on care conditions.

Some notes

Office workers often make mistakes of having excess water for plants or forgetting to take care of them. With the above 3 types of plants, you just need to remember 3 minimalist principles.

you need to mix a loose, well-draining substrate instead of using pure meat soil. The suggested formula is to mix clean soil with treated coconut beads, crushed pine bark and perlite (or pumice stone) in a ratio of 2:2:1.

If planting indoors, you only need to water 2 times/week; if planting outdoors, you only need to water 3-4 times/week. Before watering, use your fingers to press deep into the soil about 3cm. If you see that the soil is still damp, postpone watering again.

use slow-release fertilizer to provide nutrients, once every 1 to 2 months.
