What would be a hardy houseplant that gives the most oxygen possible for a small apartment?

1 Answer

Answer :

answer:To be honest, I find ivy a bit trickier than some. I’m pretty good with plants and I killed an ivy plant once. My recommendations for nice hardy plants would be, number one, golden pothos. This stuff is easy to find at any store that sells plants, it is hardy, cheap and looks nice in a hanging basket. Water it once a week and stick it somewhere where it will get some degree of sunlight. I think it has a wide range of sun tolerance. A showier plant that is also nice in hanging baskets is called the wandering jew. Despite its weird un-PC name, this is also a common plant and has pretty purple leaves. This one is not quite as easy as the pothos, but still not bad. Water 1x/week, partial sun. If you want something easy to grow with flowers, you could always get an African violet. These little guys are cheap and ubiquitous, and fuzzy! I have two. The trick with them, in my opinion, is to not get the leaves wet. I water them “from below” by putting water in the little dish or bowl that they are in and letting them absorb it. Water once a week, they like bright, indirect light. Direct sun is a no-no. They like acidy soils, so I put a few (only a few!) leftover coffee grounds in their pots once a month. Mine flower almost continuously, they are very pretty.
