The Christmas cactus is one of the most beautiful plants of the holiday season and it seems to be able to do best even if you ignore it. The cactus can tolerate low light but will produce more pink or red flowers in bright light. Getting the plant to produce flowers for the season is a bit harder because it will have to be kept cool beginning in November. Just leave the cactus beside a window at home with the heat off.
Jade Plant
Jade plants can make your home more beautiful with its bright egg-shaped leaves. The plant does well in any lighting and doesn't need to be watered very often because it stores water in its leaves. This plant is also simple to propagate(繁殖) so you can have one in every room of your home.
Aloe Vera

But you may not know that aloe vera is a plant that can help heal(治愈) minor cuts and burns like sunburns so it is a great addition for your home. When you are cutting leaves to use, don't cut off more than a third of the plant at one time.
