Indoor plant care and selection guide

Various guides offer advice on selecting and maintaining indoor plants for aesthetic, health, and feng shui benefits. Popular choices include Peace Lily (Lan ý) for harmony, Money Plant (Rau má cảnh) for prosperity, and Pothos (Trầu bà) for its adaptability.

Key maintenance tips emphasize avoiding rigid watering schedules by checking soil moisture first, ensuring proper indirect light for species like Pothos, and preventing stagnant water in saucers to avoid pests. For those practicing feng shui, the 'Thanh Long, Bạch Hổ' principle suggests planting taller trees on the left (East) and shorter shrubs on the right (West) when facing outward from the house.

Additionally, basil (Húng quế) is highlighted not just as a culinary herb but as a traditional medicinal plant used to support sleep, treat coughs, and alleviate headaches. When bringing plants indoors, it is advised to consider ventilation to prevent mold and to ensure selected species are safe for households with children or pets.
