Clean the air


This above is called corn palm, also known as iron plant (铁树). Bought 1 pot of it from Shop & Save. 1 pot consist of 3 plants, so i removed them from the pot and plant them in the glass bottle with water baby in it. But the tallest, i plant it back into the pot because it is too tall and there are some worms crawling. And i bring one of it to office. I read about it from Sat's straits Times, that this iron plant, Dumbcane, Boston fern and Money plant are good green air-purifiers and they are easy to grow and do well in an indoor environment. "They take in toxins and break them down with the help of microbes in the compost." Just a general rule, indoor plants require less water than those grown outdoors. The soil should feel damp, not soggy.
