Jasmine
Experts say that placing this plant in a high-traffic room within your house will bring positive romantic feelings and strengthen relationships in that home. Jasmine has a romantic scent that has the ability to calm a troubled mind. Some of the high-traffic areas that you can place Jasmine include the living room, kitchen, or bathroom. It is recommended that the plant be placed near a window, facing south. If your bathroom doesn’t have a big enough window, you can always invest in bathroom remodeling to create a south-facing window.
Lucky bamboo
Just like the name suggests, this plant brings good fortune. Experts suggest that the number of stalks that lucky bamboo has are key to the magnitude of good fortunes it brings. For optimal results, determine which the wealth corner is either at home or in the office and place the plant there.
Peace lilies
These lilies purify indoor air, ridding it of allergens and toxins. The end result is peace and tranquility in the home.
Banana leaf plants
These plants energize your home and bring in a laid-back, positive vibe that makes every guest feel at home. Its sheer beauty is head-turning, making it a key focal point in your living room or dining areas. Through its growth mannerism, it sends a strong statement to every house occupant that flexibility is key to growth. What even better is that it can be grown indoors by simply exposing it to LED Grow lights, which you can buy for your plants. They are not so hard to maintain and can bring your home a whole new perspective.
Calatheas
This is another plant to go for if you want to purify your indoor air and at the same time benefit from its decorative features. This plant has an unbeatable ability to better the indoor environment.
Money tree (Pachira aquatica)
This plant has a braided stem that experts say has the ability to boost health and wealth in your home. It also brings good fortune, extra spirituality, fame, and knowledge.
Philodendron
This plant has heart-shaped leaves that signify love and contentment. It represents a burning urge; a fire element that helps you to get going even during tough times.
Snake plant
This plant is known to eliminate cations (positively charged ions) from the environment. These ions are allergenic. And because they emanate from the household electronics you keep, keeping them out is almost impossible. That is why you need the snake plant to do that for you.
Ficus
These plants are known to remove toxic chemicals from your home and regulate indoor air quality. They are the best option for you if your indoor space is too big and you want to make it look smaller. That is because they grow significantly taller than most house plants- they make good room dividers and make the ceiling appear lower than it actually is.
The Jade plant
This is another money tree for you. It serves the same purpose as Pachira Aquatica. The only difference is that these plants are relatively hardier, so they survive even in the hardest environments. They are ideal for people who aren’t keen on watering plants regularly.
