Hanging ornamental plants can be an option to make your home look more beautiful and even feel lush. Beyond their function of decorating the house, these types of plants are also useful for improving the air quality around us. This is because the photosynthesis process of ornamental plants absorbs dirty air like carbon dioxide and replaces it with oxygen. Here is a list of hanging ornamental plants to beautify your home while making the surrounding air fresher, summarized from various sources. Syngonium.
Speaker A
Syngonium originates from Mexico, Guatemala, Costa Rica, Brazil, and Bolivia. In its natural environment, the tropical rainforest, syngonium can grow and climb up to 15 meters. Because its unique leaf shape resembles a spearhead, it has become a favorite for both hanging and potted plants. Depending on the species and variety, syngonium can be green, dark, yellow, or white. Air plant. Air plants are epiphytes that live by attaching or hanging onto the stalks, trunks, and branches of taller plants. However, it does not become a parasite to the plants it attaches to; it merely hitches a ride to survive. This plant, which is in the same family as pineapples, can survive by relying on fine hairs that spread across its body.

These nearly invisible, thorn-like fine hairs are used to absorb water vapor and capture nutrients and minerals released by dust in the air.

Or, as is currently trendy, air plants are simply placed inside cute glass containers like terrariums. Hoya carnosa.
