Cultivating flowers also requires attention. Some people cultivate flowers purely for appreciation, while others do it to improve air quality. Which category do you belong to? It is said that there is also knowledge in cultivating flowers. Presumably, you don't know what flowers are good for indoor cultivation. Today, I will teach you how to cultivate flowers.
What are the considerations for indoor flower cultivation?
1. Flowers with strong detoxification abilities
Cultivate flowers with strong detoxification abilities, such as narcissus, jasmine, and chrysanthemum. These flowers can convert carbon dioxide into protein in plant cells. Spider plants and reeds can absorb indoor pollutants such as formaldehyde in large quantities.
2. Flowers that can secrete antibacterial substances
Jasmine, lilac, honeysuckle, morning glory, and other flowers can secrete antibacterial substances that can kill certain bacteria in the air and keep the indoor air clean.
3. Flowers with complementary functions
Most flowers mainly undergo photosynthesis during the day, absorbing carbon dioxide and releasing oxygen. They respire at night, absorbing oxygen and releasing carbon dioxide. However, snake plants are the opposite. They release carbon dioxide during the day and absorb carbon dioxide at night, releasing oxygen. Keeping flowers with complementary functions in one room can benefit both plants and balance the oxygen and carbon dioxide levels in the indoor air, thus keeping the indoor air clean.
