What plant soaks up moisture?
Spider plants are particularly well-regarded for their humidity-absorbing properties. Their efficiency in absorbing moisture from the air makes them ideal for rooms that are prone to dampness. Peace lilies are another excellent choice, thriving in humid conditions and contributing significantly to improved air quality. Spider plants are native to tropical and southern Africa and are the perfect low-maintenance plant for a beginner. You can position the plant in low light and direct sunlight where they will adapt. As the spider plant is a natural dehumidifier, they are the perfect plant for bathrooms or kitchens.
What conifers like moist soil?
A few conifers can tolerate very wet, almost bog-like soils. Probably the most tolerant of wet soils are Taxodium varieties such as ‘Cascade Falls’ and ‘Peve Yellow’. Also, Thuja occidentalis varieties such as ‘Degroots Spire’, ‘Hetz Wintergreen’, ‘Holmstrup’, ‘Rushmore’, and ‘Smaragd’ will tolerate wet soils. Some trees love watery areas or can survive occasional flooding, but take care: different trees that like wet soil have different tolerance levels. Most trees classified as “trees that grow in water” may accept moist soil, but may not survive flooding.
What soil absorbs water quickly?
Sandy Soil, because it has very large spaces, absorbs water at a rate of more than 2 inches per hour. Water literally flows right through sandy soils and very little is held for plant use. Loam Soil is best. A combination of sand, silt, and clay particles, this soil absorbs water readily and is able to store it for use by plants.
