Features: Flowers, grasses, and trees bring us not only stunning beauty and joy, but also an unexpected super "cleaning" power. Formaldehyde, benzene, ammonia, electromagnetic waves, kitchen grease, noise—various indoor pollutants have become serious health threats. 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 of the flower and plant world in combating environmental pollution, forming a "Flower and Plant Special Attack Team" to help you solve the persistent problems of indoor pollution. We list the names, origins, appearances, hobbies, and special skills 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 you already have some of them at home: spider plants, aloe vera, cacti, ivy, black beauty, pothos, golden pothos, money tree, emerald, areca palm, snake plant, asparagus fern, honeysuckle, clivia, rose, chrysanthemum, peony, plum blossom. How about that? Are they familiar to you as family? But do you really know them well?
