The home doctor
Once the interior decoration is finished, plants are needed to add the finishing touch.

Let's learn about them together!

Plants that absorb harmful gases
Studies have shown that snake plant (Sansevieria) and spider plant (Chlorophytum) can absorb more than 80% of the harmful gases indoors, and their ability to absorb formaldehyde is extremely strong. Aloe is also good at absorbing formaldehyde, and can absorb 90% of the formaldehyde contained in 1 cubic meter of air.
English ivy, sago palm (Cycas), chrysanthemum, kumquat, pomegranate, purslane (Portulaca), Chinese rose, camellia, pomegranate, Aglaia, daisy, wintersweet, marigold and others can effectively remove harmful substances such as sulfur dioxide, chlorine, ether, ethylene, carbon monoxide, and nitrogen peroxide.
Orchids, osmanthus, wintersweet, Caladium, and Excoecaria are natural dust collectors; their fine hairs can intercept and hold the floating particles and smoke dust in the air.

Plants that can kill bacteria
The volatile oils produced by fragrant flowers such as rose, osmanthus, violet, jasmine, lemon, wild rose, dianthus, lily of the valley, and crape myrtle have a significant bactericidal effect.
Plants such as crape myrtle, jasmine, and lemon can kill native bacteria such as diphtheria bacteria and dysentery bacteria within 5 minutes. The fragrance given off by plants such as wild rose, dianthus, lily of the valley, violet, rose, and osmanthus has a clear inhibitory effect on the growth and reproduction of tubercle bacillus, pneumococcus, and staphylococcus.
Succulent plants native to tropical arid regions, such as cactus, have stomata on their fleshy stems that close during the day and open at night; while absorbing carbon dioxide, they produce oxygen, increasing the concentration of negative ions in indoor air.
Plants such as snake plant (Sansevieria), tiger skin plant (Sansevieria), agave, Opuntia, Kalanchoe, stonecrop (Sedum), Bryophyllum, and cultivated bromeliads can also purify the air at night.
Plant climbing plants such as Boston ivy, grape, morning glory, wisteria, and wild rose around the home, letting them climb along walls or trellises to form a green shade canopy, which can effectively reduce solar radiation and greatly lower the indoor temperature.
Plants such as lilac, jasmine, rose, violet, and mint can help people relax, lift their spirits, aid sleep, and also improve work efficiency.
