Don't keep these 6 flowers in the bedroom, or you may easily suffer from insomnia and poor sleep
Many flower lovers like to place a pot of flowers in the bedroom to make it prettier and more romantic. However, the fragrance of some flowers is toxic, and if placed poorly it can affect your health! Today, Huahua will tell everyone which flowers should not be placed in the bedroom!
Oriental lily
Flower Growing Guide
Reason not to keep it in the bedroom:
The Oriental lily has a rather strong fragrance, and after people inhale it, the central nervous system is easily stimulated, making it hard to fall asleep. It also has a lot of pollen, and patients with respiratory diseases may have their condition worsened after smelling it.
Suggested placement:
Oriental lilies can be placed in the living room or in a well-ventilated study. Their fragrance can refresh the mind and help with efficient study and work.
Orchid
Flower Growing Guide
Reason not to keep it in the bedroom:
Most orchids release various gases such as alkanes, aromatic hydrocarbons and aldehydes, which the human body cannot metabolize after long-term absorption. Among them, the fragrance of "Miss Taipei" contains a relatively high level of p-cresol, and after the human body absorbs a large amount of it, it can easily cause insomnia, headaches, nausea and other adverse symptoms.
Suggested placement:
Orchids such as Dendrobium and Cymbidium can be placed on a balcony with good light, while shade-loving types such as Paphiopedilum can be placed on the windowsill of the living room. This gives a good ornamental effect and is also good for the orchids' growth.
Night-blooming cestrum
Flower Growing Guide
Reason not to keep it in the bedroom:
Night-blooming cestrum blooms at night and has a rather strong fragrance. If it is placed indoors during its full bloom period, the overly strong fragrance can make people feel uncomfortable in the nose, causing insomnia, and patients with cardiovascular diseases may easily experience chest tightness and difficulty breathing.
Suggested placement:
The fragrance released by night-blooming cestrum is something mosquitoes rather dislike. At night it can be placed by the window of a well-ventilated living room, where it can have a very good mosquito-repelling effect.
Lilac
Flower Growing Guide
Reason not to keep it in the bedroom:
Lilac is also a flower with a rather strong fragrance. The bedroom is relatively enclosed with poor air circulation, and the strong fragrance of lilac easily makes the central nervous system unusually excited, making it hard to fall asleep at night.
Suggested placement:
Friends who have the conditions should best place lilacs in an outdoor yard. Flower lovers without a yard can place them on the balcony, or by the window of a well-ventilated living room.
Chinese rose
Flower Growing Guide
Reason not to keep it in the bedroom:
Some Chinese roses have a strongly fragrant scent. If a Chinese rose in full bloom is placed in the bedroom, over time people may easily experience chest tightness and difficulty breathing, affecting sleep quality at night.
Suggested placement:
Chinese roses are best placed outdoors in a sunny, well-ventilated spot. This way they are less prone to disease and bloom more, with higher ornamental value.
Lantana
Flower Growing Guide
Reason not to keep it in the bedroom:
The fragrance released by lantana is a pungent, foul odor. More importantly, it has a lot of pollen, and after the pollen it disperses is inhaled by people, it can easily cause coughing and sneezing, and asthma patients may have their condition worsened.
Suggested placement:
Lantana has the effect of repelling mosquitoes and insects, and likes a growing environment with plenty of sunlight, so it can be placed on the balcony or outdoors. It can both repel annoying little bugs and has relatively high ornamental value.
Winter daphne
Flower Growing Guide
Reason not to keep it in the bedroom:
Winter daphne has a very strong fragrance, even pungent to the nose. Winter daphne flowers release an ester substance that easily irritates the mucous membranes of the mouth and nasal cavity, causing discomfort to the body.
Suggested placement:
Winter daphne likes partial shade, so it can be placed under the shade of trees outdoors, or in a living room with plenty of scattered light and good air circulation.
It is best not to place flowering plants in the bedroom. However, the following flowers recommended by Huahua are very suitable for placing in the bedroom!
Kalanchoe
Flower Growing Guide
Reason it is recommended for placement:
At night, kalanchoe opens its stomata, stores a certain amount of carbon dioxide, and at the same time increases the content of negative oxygen ions in the air, improving the air quality in the bedroom!
Key care points in summer:
In summer's high temperature and high humidity, kalanchoe enters a semi-dormant or dormant state. When placed by the bedroom balcony, shading measures must be taken well, and usually pay attention to opening windows for ventilation.
Guzmania
Flower Growing Guide
Reason it is recommended for placement:
At night, guzmania carries out crassulacean acid metabolism, absorbing carbon dioxide in the room and making the bedroom air fresher!
Key care points in summer:
Summer is the vigorous growth period for guzmania, so it must not lack water. You can water it once every 1-2 days, and in high-temperature weather you can appropriately spray water around the flowers to raise the humidity of the surrounding environment.
Aloe
Flower Growing Guide
Reason it is recommended for placement:
The stomata on aloe leaves open at night, so they can absorb a certain amount of carbon dioxide and increase the oxygen content of the air. Keeping a pot in the bedroom is more suitable than anything!
Key care points in summer:
Overly strong sunlight will scorch aloe leaves and affect their appearance. So when placed by the bedroom balcony during the day, you can use a curtain to block the midday sunlight.
The flowers Huahua mentioned only cause certain harm to the body
when inhaled in large amounts over a long time.
But for the sake of your health,
flower lovers should still try not to keep them in the bedroom!
