阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Plants aren’t just nice to look at. They can also help your health and wellbeing(康乐). This is especially true indoors.
1
There are many different types of houseplants. There are tiny succulents(多肉植物) and cacti, hanging plants with trailing foliage and plants that can grow more than a metre tall and wide. Your curiosity and knowledge of nature will develop as you research and learn about different plants. You will also learn about the conditions they need to thrive.
2
Plants need water, light and attention. Caring for plants teaches you how to be responsible. Rowan Hammond runs a plant and flower shop called Green and Grounded. She says looking after plants improves your attention to detail. It is a great way to gain a sense of purpose. And it is an exciting way to learn about the influence your actions have on others. 3. They can also inspire new ideas. You’re rewarded for the love and care you give. You feel like you have achieved something when you see the plant growing and flowering. You also develop patience. You can’t make the plant grow faster.

Houseplants help you feel calmer and less anxious. Studies show that nature lowers stress levels and boosts your mood. Hammond says, “Surrounding yourself with foliage helps you relax and soothes(缓解) you.”
Looking after plants gives you something to focus on. If you’re near plants, it can help you relax. 5. Plants take in the carbon dioxide we breathe out. They release oxygen, which we breathe in. This may also help you to sleep at night especially if you have a plant like lavender(薰衣草) in your room. Some plants are medicinal. The gel(啫喱) released by snipping an aloe vera leaf(芦荟叶) soothes sunburn. On a windowsill you can grow plants to eat, such as salad leaves, tomatoes or even chilies.
