How to choose a plant for the kitchen
Unpretentious care should be the main criterion for acquiring a plant. The kitchen is a place full of activity every day. Therefore, a delicate flower will be uncomfortable in such conditions. Also during work there is a possibility of accidentally damaging the plant. What matters is how quickly and easily it recovers from injury. A whimsical variety may not cope with such stress and die.
Small size will be important for small spaces where there is a need to save space. A spreading plant will take up a lot of space. This is difficult to care for and is highly likely to be dropped during operation. For small kitchens, it is better to choose a small plant with a thin but strong trunk and medium-sized leaves.
Survival in poor sunlight conditions will be good quality that will ensure long life for the flower. Not all regions have enough sun, even in summer. Therefore, there is a need for crops that thrive in almost constant twilight and that do not need additional illumination with a UV lamp. If the plant loves shade, then it can be kept not only on the windowsill, but also in other places, which will diversify the situation.
The ability to cleanse the surrounding atmosphere is important. The kitchen is a collection of various bacteria and impurities in the air. The use of chemicals and constant cooking make the air hard to breathe. The hood does not always cope with this, which takes away excess moisture and heat from the surrounding space, but does not clean it. The flower will take over this function, and during the formation of buds (depending on the variety) it can delight the owners with a delicate aroma.
Fruitful crops will be a real boon for the hostess. Those that grow in small trees or shrubs that fit in an area of 50 sq. cm, with proper care, they will yield a crop every year. It can be used in food, for the prevention of diseases, in home cosmetology. In addition, you can sell the fruits and results of labor to friends, which will allow the plant to become a small additional source of income for the family.
