"Several green plants indoors, the room is full of spring" Plants not only bring visual beauty, but also purify the air. Some people may think this is exaggerated, but let me tell you, it is true, as long as you know how to take care of them and choose the right ones. Are you doing it right? Here are the details.
The following plants should not be placed indoors:
1. Orchids
Orchids are known to cause nervous system disorders. The fragrance emitted by orchids can be stimulating and cause insomnia when smelled for a long time.
2. Tulips
Tulips are beautiful and loved by people, but their flowers contain a type of alkaloid that can cause depression and even mental decline. The plant also excretes a milky white substance that can cause poisoning if exposed to it for too long.
3. Roses
Roses release a toxin that can harm your body when inhaled. Ingesting them can cause poisoning, with milder cases leading to shock and more severe cases posing a serious threat to health.
4. Lilies
Lilies are favored by many women and their fragrance is intoxicating. However, smelling them for too long can overstimulate the central nervous system and cause insomnia.
Recommended indoor plants:
1. Golden Pothos
Golden Pothos is a plant with antibacterial properties. It grows well in temperatures between 20-30°C and is relatively drought-tolerant, making it suitable for cultivation in high-temperature environments in summer. Scientists abroad have found that Golden Pothos can release beneficial negative ions while photosynthesizing. Negative ions in the air can effectively prevent radiation from computers and televisions from harming the human body. Therefore, it is necessary to place a pot of Golden Pothos near electronic devices such as computers and televisions.
2. Morning Glory
Master Mei Lanfang, a famous Beijing opera artist, has a special liking for morning glory. Morning glory has a delicate appearance and resembles a small trumpet, so it is also called "trumpet flower" in some places. There is a low concentration of ammonia in the air, and if the human body inhales this ammonia for a long time, it will cause chronic ammonia poisoning. After entering the human body, ammonia will gradually accumulate and attack the immune system when reaching a certain concentration. Once the immune system is attacked, the body's immunity will decrease, providing an opportunity for viruses to attack.
3. Chrysanthemum
Chrysanthemums, like other plants, can absorb carbon dioxide from the air through photosynthesis. However, the most important value of chrysanthemums lies in their ability to monitor the carbon dioxide content in the air. Excessive carbon dioxide in the room can have serious consequences and cause a series of respiratory diseases. If the indoor carbon dioxide content exceeds the standard, the leaves of the chrysanthemum will develop dark green water stains and irregular spots between the veins.
4. Ivy
A pot of ivy can eliminate 90% of benzene in a room of 8-10 square meters, and it can also deal with bacteria and other harmful substances brought in from outside, even absorbing dust that is difficult to remove by vacuum cleaners.
