Due to the special geographical and climatic conditions in the northwest, including drought with little rain and large temperature differences between day and night, the following potted plants are more suitable:

First, cacti. Cactus plants are an excellent choice for potted plants in the northwest. They have thick fleshy stems, which are natural water - storage structures and can maintain their own water supply in long - term drought environments. They have extremely low water requirements, and excessive watering may instead cause root rot problems. In addition, cacti can tolerate intense sunlight, and sufficient sunlight can make their colors more vivid and their shapes more plump. Whether placed on the balcony or in a well - lit indoor area, they can become an eye - catching sight.

Desert rose is also very suitable for the northwest. The desert rose is native to areas close to deserts in Kenya, Tanzania, and other African countries, which determines its adaptive advantage in the arid climate of the northwest. It has a short plant, an ancient and vigorous tree shape, and its rhizome is enlarged like a wine bottle. When in full bloom, the flowers are extremely gorgeous, with colors including red, rose - red, pink, etc. The flowers are shaped like trumpets and are delicate and charming. The desert rose likes high - temperature, arid, and sunny environments. It can also grow safely under the high temperature in the northwest summer. Only by paying attention to keeping warm in winter, it can become a beautiful sight among potted plants in the northwest.

Sansevieria trifasciata is one of the excellent potted plants adapted to the northwest environment. Its leaves are tall, straight, and covered with unique patterns on the surface, with high ornamental value. Sansevieria trifasciata has a strong adaptability to dry air and soil environments. Even in relatively dry indoor conditions in the northwest, it can grow normally. Moreover, it has no strict requirements for light. It can grow healthily in a soft - lit indoor corner or on a sunny balcony. Sansevieria trifasciata also has the function of purifying the air. It can effectively absorb harmful indoor gases such as formaldehyde and benzene, bringing fresh air to the living environment.

In addition, agave can also grow well in the northwest. The leaves of agave are fleshy, sword - shaped, and have serrated edges, giving an overall impression of tenacity. It has strong drought - tolerance and has low requirements for soil fertility. It can adapt to the relatively barren soil conditions in the northwest. Some small - sized agave varieties are suitable for potted plants. Placed in the courtyard or in front of the house, they show a rough and natural beauty.

In conclusion, these potted plants suitable for the northwest can not only grow well under the local climatic conditions but also bring green vitality and unique ornamental value to people's living environment.
