But the kitchen is not the best place for breeding a home garden due to sudden temperature changes, an abundance of greasy fumes and high humidity. Therefore, choosing indoor plants and flowers for the kitchen, you should not focus only on their beautiful appearance. After all, the blooming specimen you like in the store may turn out to be completely unsuitable for life in the conditions of this room.

But still, there are several plants and potted plants that can and should be grown in the kitchen. Let's see what kind of plants and indoor flowers are, how to care for them and where to put them.

10 ideal indoor plants for the kitchen (decorative and deciduous)

So, only drought-resistant ones that can withstand temperature changes, do not require abundant spraying, greenhouse conditions and complex plant care are suitable for gardening kitchens.

Here is a list of indoor plants that are great for keeping in the kitchen:

1. Chlorofituma;
2. Aglaonems;
3. Epipremnum (Scripsis golden);
4. Sansevieria;
5. Zamiokulkas;
6. Aspedistra;
7. Cacti;
8. The Fatty (Crassoule);
9. Philodendrons;
10. Nolins (bokarneya).

Chlorophytum in this list is in the first place not only because of its unpretentiousness, but also the ability to clean and humidify the air well. It is so good that it is called an air orderly and is even kept in spaceships where it is impossible to ventilate space. Therefore, in the presence of plastic kitchen furniture, such as chipboard, and a gas stove, it is recommended to get them, and one flower for the kitchen will be enough. In addition, small and delicate white flowers grow in the chlorophytum during the flowering period.

All indoor plants in the interior of the kitchen look harmonious and immediately make it more comfortable. Chlorophytum is no exception.

Place it on top of a headset, high on a shelf, or put it in a hanging pot in any place, but not in the shade. Penumbra is permissible, but remember that the closer to the light it grows, the brighter its leaves will be.

The next favorite for the kitchen is aglaonema, once famous for its “role” of a friend of the protagonist of the film “Leon”. This evergreen herbaceous plant, like chlorophytum, perfectly cleans the air, but it tolerates temperature drops worse and needs more humidity.

Aglaonem with green leaves can be placed in the depths of the kitchen, and plants with variegated leaves are best kept closer to the window, but not under direct sunlight. The leaves should be regularly wiped from dust, which is not so difficult, as they are relatively wide.

It can be grown almost anywhere, as it is tolerant of temperature fluctuations and even artificial light, which, however, becomes completely green. Where to put it? The best place in the top of the kitchen, on the shelf buffet, hanging pots, etc. Of course, long indoor plants in the interior of the kitchen Provence style look the most organic.
