What flowers and plants can be cultivated indoors is good for your health20

Cactus Other plants give you oxygen during the day and compete with you for oxygen at night, cactus no, it does not release oxygen during the day and does not fight for oxygen, and only gives you oxygen at night.

Cactus: The thorn contains poisonous juice, and after being stabbed, it is painful, itchy and even allergic. Why don't you just touch it?

Zhou Shuqin, an engineer at the Indoor Environment Monitoring Center of the China Decoration Association, believes that the following three types of plants are most suitable for placing in the living room.

1. Purify the air.

Aloe vera, spider plant, tiger tail orchid, one-leaf orchid, and monstera are natural scavengers that can remove them from the air.

Hazardous substances. Studies have shown that tiger tail and spider plant can absorb more than 80% of harmful gases indoors, and the ability to absorb formaldehyde is super strong. Aloe vera is also a good absorber of formaldehyde, which can absorb 90% of the formaldehyde contained in 1 cubic meter of air.

Ivy, iron tree, chrysanthemum, kumquat, pomegranate, half lotus, moon flower, camellia, pomegranate, Milan, daisy, plum, marigold, etc. can effectively remove sulfur dioxide, chlorine, ether, ethylene, carbon monoxide, nitrogen peroxide and other harmful substances.

Orchids, osmanthus, plum, taro, red-backed cinnamon, etc. are natural dust collectors, and their cilia can intercept and absorb floating particles and soot in the air.

2. Mosquito repellent.

As the weather warms up, mosquito repellent plants are in the spotlight. Mosquito vanilla is one such plant. It is an aromatic geranium that has been genetically altered and was recently introduced from Australia.

The plant is drought tolerant, can grow and mature within half a year, can survive for 10-15 years if properly maintained, and the shape of its branches and leaves can be changed at will, and has high ornamental value. Mosquito net vanilla exudes a fresh and elegant lemon fragrance, which has a good mosquito repellent effect indoors, but is not toxic to the human body. The higher the temperature, the more incense it emits, and the better the mosquito repellent effect.

According to the test, a pot of mosquito net vanilla with a crown width of more than 30 cm can drive away mosquitoes in a room with an area of more than 10 square meters. In addition, a plant called pyrethrum contains pyrethroids, which are also effective in repelling mosquitoes.

3. Bactericidal bacteria.

The volatile oils produced by aromatic flowers such as rose, osmanthus, violet, jasmine, lemon, rose, caryophyllus, lily of the valley, crape myrtle and so on have a significant bactericidal effect.

Plants such as crape myrtle, jasmine, and lemon can kill native bacteria such as diphtheria and dysentery bacteria within 5 minutes. The fragrance of rose, caryophyllus, lily of the valley, violet, rose, osmanthus and other plants has a significant inhibitory effect on the growth and reproduction of Mycobacterium tuberculosis, pneumococcus and staphylococcus.

Succulents such as cacti, which are native to arid tropical regions, close their stomata during the day and open at night, absorbing carbon dioxide while producing oxygen, increasing the concentration of negative ions in the indoor air.

Plants such as tiger pill orchid, tiger tail orchid, agave, brown palm, jalan, sedum, ground roots, and cultivated pineapple can also purify the air at night.

Others: Plant climbing plants such as creepers, grapes, morning glories, wisterias, roses and other climbing plants around the home, and let them climb along the wall or frame to form a green pergola, which can effectively reduce sunlight radiation and greatly reduce indoor temperature.

Plants such as cloves, jasmine, roses, violets, and mint can make people relaxed, happy, good for sleep, and improve work efficiency.

I really like to raise flowers, which not only bring me a sense of pre-happiness, but also help me exercise. In the first half of the year, I have been plagued by the epidemic and can't go to the gym to exercise, so I can raise a few more pots of flowers at home

Raising flowers also plays a role in purifying the air. For example, we often raise some jasmine, lemon blossom, Milan, etc., their own fragrance can purify our indoor air, and some fragrant flowers can also help sleep in the bedroom, such as nightshade, mint, etc.

Some fragrant flowers can also have the effect of sterilization and anti-inflammatory when kept indoors, and purify indoor turbidity.

When you don't know how to raise flowers, you can make a lot of friends by communicating with each other about raising flowers.

Friends made through the things they like, everyone will have endless topics to talk about, and there will be a lot of experience, this back and forth, everyone can make a lot of friends by raising flowers.

And sometimes in the process of raising flowers, some points that others can't understand, if you say it to flower friends, flower friends will easily understand your points. And some flower friends will also give flowers to each other, and everyone gets together because of the same hobby, that is, raising flowers.
