True connoisseurs of indoor plants have long ceased to look at them solely as a decorative element.
For true lovers, “green pets” are excellent air filters, humidifiers and a barrier to viruses.
Geranium
Plants with red flowers have the greatest healing properties. But geraniums with white, purple and pink flowers also emit substances that are destructive to flu viruses, staphylococci and streptococci.
"Mother-in-law's tongue"
Sansevieria has acquired a number of popular names, but rightfully took its place in the list of medicinal plants. "Pike tail" humidifies the air and has antiviral and fungicidal properties. The owners of "mother-in-law's tongue" cope better with viruses and are less likely to encounter colds.
Laurel
The plant has long become not only a symbol of cooking, but also a good home doctor. Laurel phytoncides fight bacteria, viruses and can even defeat the tuberculosis bacillus.
Monstera
Large monstera leaves are a real shield against viruses and microbes. The healing properties have long been known to the inhabitants of Southeast Asia, where this plant was placed in the room of a sick person in order to speed up recovery.
Lemon
You can grow a lemon from a seed, but there will be no fruit. However, the plant will still fight viruses. You can plant a cutting taken from a fruit-bearing tree. Then there will be both a harvest and protection from pathogens.
