Every room looks better with a plant or two, but finding the right plants can be difficult. There’s no need to keep your kitchen plant-free when you know exactly which plants will strive there. Many of them have additional benefits you will love. Keep reading to see what are our best suggestions.

Aloe Vera

Keep aloe vera in the kitchen in case of a sudden burn—its juice is a perfect remedy. It enjoys bright light, so make sure to position it next to the window and let it dry between waterings. To use its healing properties, just take a leaf and squeeze its gel directly on the skin.

Lavender

There’s nothing more charming than a pot of lavender in a rustic kitchen—it will make the whole place more relaxing. It gets bonus points for repelling bugs; flies, moths, and mosquitos will stay away from your kitchen. It will help you look forward to the time spent in the kitchen.

Herbs

Is there anything better than adding fresh herbs to a recipe? You can keep them on hand at all times by planting them in pots and keeping them near the stove. Place basil and rosemary by the window but keep parsley, mint, and chives in the shade.
