What flowers can be raised at home to improve the air quality?
"It is better to eat without meat than to live without bamboo." Life's attachment to green has undoubtedly reached a very difficult level. However, in modern cities, most of the pastoral scenery like farmhouses is gradually fading away, and all kinds of indoor environmental pollution are ruthlessly affecting the quality of life. The sources of pollution in the indoor environment include microorganisms and carbon dioxide from the human body, harmful substances such as carbon monoxide produced by the use of fuels such as coal and liquefied petroleum gas, and organic pollutants such as formaldehyde released by furniture and various detergents. Purifying indoor air is essential to human health.
Freshener difficult to clear air
Some people are pinning their hopes on chemical products such as "air fresheners" to improve the air quality in their homes. Some people close the windows to turn on the air conditioner and spray air fresheners to get the cool fragrance. Others spray air fresheners before and after each use of the bathroom to eliminate odors. You know, most air fresheners in the form of aerosols use chlorofluorocarbons, which are newly banned by the relevant state departments, as propellants. The mist-like particles that permeate the air after spraying can cause serious adverse irritation to some people with allergies and a history of asthma. Some people, especially adolescents, also experience various complex symptoms such as excessive addiction and dizziness and headaches due to the volatile organic solvents in them. Only by smelling the thick aroma can they feel calm and peaceful, which is as difficult to treat as drug use.
In fact, the easiest and most effective way to purify indoor air, whether in the office or at home, is ventilation, especially natural ventilation. In addition, bringing some green plants into the room not only adds joy, tranquility and elegance, but also makes a wise choice for purifying indoor air.
Select green plants to absorb harmful substances
Studies have shown that if you place a pot of living green plants every 10 square meters indoors, it can absorb harmful gases such as carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide, formaldehyde, and benzene, which is good for your health. Some plants can also convert harmful chemicals into plant nutrients, such as foliage plants such as cold water flowers, ivy, hanging orchids, and xilin, which can absorb harmful gases and resist pollution. Some plants, such as cacti, cacti, lotus, and orchids, not only do not exhale carbon dioxide at night, but also absorb carbon dioxide, which has the effect of producing oxygen and sterilizing when purifying indoor air. Chlorophytum can convert formaldehyde, which is considered carcinogenic, into natural substances such as sugar or amino acids in its metabolism. It also decomposes benzene emitted by photocopiers and printers, and'devours' nicotine.
From a plant's physiological perspective, plants absorb carbon dioxide during the day to expel oxygen, while at night they release carbon dioxide to absorb oxygen. Generally, the emissions of plants with large leaves and fast growth are determined by the absorption of plants. Some plants are not suitable for indoor use, such as conifers and cypresses. The smell of pine oil it produces can be irritating to some elderly bronchitis and asthma patients. The hair of primrose leaves can also cause allergies in some people. The thorns of tiger thorn plum make people feel itchy when they touch the skin. The smell of night lilacs can repel mosquitoes and is suitable for outdoor use. Palm plants are different, characterized by a small amount of respiration, because their leaves are covered with needle-like thorns. If they are covered with light-transmitting plastic bags for a few days, they will still grow normally, while gas exchange is often the opposite of other plants. For example, the flowering time of Epiphyllum is often at night, and it will wither during the day. Palm plants also release oxygen at night, which is not good for human health.
The placement requirements of green plants vary
When placing green plants in the room, it is necessary to consider not only its air purification ability, but also the indoor conditions, the intensity of light, and the size of the windows. Good ventilation. Because plants have different development periods and have different requirements for the environment, they need to really master and understand their ecological habits, and they need to have an adapted room to adapt to the growth process. Plants like cacti are more light-loving and drought-tolerant, and do not need old watering. They should be placed on windowsills that can shine sunlight.
There are also great differences between buildings and bungalows, and between ground plants and potted plants. Soil, wind direction, and sunrise must consider the necessity of varieties, such as hanging orchids and mandarin in the bedroom; choose larger foliage or flowering plants in the foyer; it is best to cultivate some climbing plants on the balcony, and cooperate with flowers, birds, insects, and fish to form a new world; along the top can raise some semi-cold vines such as ball orchids, or ivy hanging or Euonymus. Cold-resistant four-season long green leaves are very good-looking, giving people a feeling similar to nature. As short-term materials, birds, dill, morning glory, etc., can be mixed for planting.
