3. The dieffenbachia, spathiphyllum, chlorophytum, dragon tree and various cacti will be suitable for the bedroom. However if your bedroom small, at the same time in it not only you sleep, it makes sense to refuse plants as they absorb oxygen at night that can cause headache in the mornings. And anyway, in this room you should not use strongly smelling plants as they can prevent you to fall asleep.

4. For decoration of the living room it is better to select the plants increasing humidity. Essential oil-bearing plants with strong smell will be suitable for this room. Such plants in significant amounts produce phytoncides which have property to disinfect air, and essential oils improve mood and accelerate brain blood circulation.

6. In kitchen any plants well feel. The specific choice can depend on where there are windows. The North side will not suit photophilous plants so it is better to give preference aroidny, kislichny, mirsinovy, to arrowroots, dratsenovy, coniferous and to ferns. The western and east parties best of all will suit myrtaceous, heather, to begonia family, genarevy, to asparagus family or pineappele family.
