Flowers in the house not only serve as decoration, but also perfectly clean the air. Therefore, many people prefer to have several vases with plants in the house.

It is believed that the easiest way is to place the pots on the windowsill.

But this doesn't always work.

Not all flowers like a place where they are exposed to bright sunlight.

Another danger is radiators.

As a result, the plantings will experience a lack of humidity in the air.

But what kind of plants are these?

First of all, it is worth mentioning the monstera - a popular houseplant. This flower with large cut leaves loves high air humidity, needs good lighting, but does not like it very much if bright sunlight hits it.

Another popular plant is the ficus, which prefers shade.

The coffee tree should not be placed on the windowsill either. But it should be taken into account that the plant loves light, fresh air and humidity. But drafts or dry air will destroy it.

Do not put in such an accessible place those plants that can be dangerous for animals. For example, aloe, zamioculcas, ivy, spathiphyllum.
