Features: A flower, a grass, a tree—what they bring us is not just a feast for the eyes and a joy for the heart, but also an unimaginable super "decontamination" power. Formaldehyde, benzene, ammonia, electromagnetic waves, cooking fumes, noise—various indoor pollutants have become formidable health killers. How to safely and conveniently remove these pollutants and create a healthy home environment has become a topic of great concern. This book specially gathers the champions in the plant world that combat environmental pollution, forming a "plant special forces team" to help you solve the persistent problems of indoor pollution. We list the names, origins, appearances, hobbies, and specialties of each team member, complete with color illustrations for easy identification. The introductions are detailed, with a focus on revealing their top-secret "X" files for purifying indoor air. Don’t think we’re recommending rare and expensive "Mars" plants—each of them is readily available at flower markets, affordable, and especially easy to get along with. Perhaps some of them have already made their way into your home: Spider Plant, Aloe Vera, Cactus, English Ivy, Black Beauty, Pothos, Golden Pothos, Money Tree, Emerald, Areca Palm, Snake Plant, Dieffenbachia, Jasmine, Clivia, Rose, Chrysanthemum, Peony, Plum Blossom. How about that? Do they feel as familiar as family to you? But do you really know them completely?
