Feeling sluggish in an air-conditioned room? Grow a spider plant for fresh, healthy air
In summer you can't do without the air conditioner, but sitting in air conditioning all day long makes you dizzy, foggy-headed and low on energy, and the elderly and children are even more prone to these "air-conditioning illnesses." Today Huahua recommends a few plants you should definitely keep in an air-conditioned room, to stay away from air-conditioning illnesses!
Golden Pothos
Recommendation rating: ★ ★ ★ ★ ★
Why recommended: cleans the air, produces oxygen
The golden pothos has evergreen leaves that not only ease eye strain but also supply fresh oxygen to a sealed, air-conditioned room. Not long ago, a bus driver in Changsha even paid out of his own pocket to put a few bottles of golden pothos in his bus to improve the air in the air-conditioned vehicle!
Golden pothos care in an air-conditioned room:
Golden pothos is a bit afraid of the cold, so the air-conditioning temperature is best kept above 20 degrees. Even placed on top of a cabinet-style air conditioner it can still grow well, and this also helps prevent yellow leaves. Mist it with water every morning and evening to raise the humidity; you can also add 10ml of beer (left open to go flat) or an aspirin tablet to the water, and the golden pothos will grow like crazy~
Spider Plant
Recommendation rating: ★ ★ ★ ★ ★
Why recommended: absorbs smoke and dust, purifies the air
The spider plant can absorb secondhand smoke, and it can also absorb odors in an air-conditioned room, so it is a must-have for flower lovers who have smokers at home~
Spider plant care in an air-conditioned room:
In summer, spider plants need to be protected from dry leaf tips, so be sure to keep the humidity up and mist them often. You don't need to water too frequently; wait until the soil is dry before watering. You can water with air-conditioner condensate water (after it has settled) or aquarium water (after it has settled). Once the spider plant is well fed, it can even bloom in an air-conditioned room!
Ivy
Recommendation rating: ★ ★ ★ ★
Why recommended: absorbs harmful gases, improves the air
The air quality in an air-conditioned room is poor, and keeping a pot of ivy can absorb the harmful substances in the air. It is also clean and hygienic, suitable for both home and office.
Ivy care in an air-conditioned room:
Many flower lovers report that ivy is hard to grow, and it is mostly because of overwatering. In summer, stick to watering sparingly and water thoroughly only once the soil has dried out completely. If you want a full, bushy ivy, try taking cuttings; root several stems and it will fill out the pot within a month~
Rubber Plant
Recommendation rating: ★ ★ ★ ★
Why recommended: purifies dust, brings joy and wealth
Air-conditioned rooms contain a lot of dust, and since the windows stay closed there is no ventilation, so it keeps floating in the air. Keep a rubber plant, and its glossy large leaves can absorb the dust and purify the air. What's more, in Hong Kong, China and Taiwan, China it is also a symbol of a thriving household~
Rubber plant care in an air-conditioned room:
The rubber plant is very tough. Place it somewhere indoors with good light and water only when the soil is dry. Wipe its leaves now and then, otherwise dust builds up on them and can block their breathing. It needs no fertilizer in summer, and opening the windows for ventilation when the air conditioner is off is even better.
Cyclamen
Recommendation rating: ★ ★ ★ ★
Why recommended: purifies the air, beautifies the home
The cyclamen itself is suited to growing indoors, and in summer in an air-conditioned room it blooms even more readily. Its flowers are plentiful and vivid, and it also absorbs a certain amount of sulfur dioxide from the air, so it is truly both beautiful and useful!
Cyclamen care in an air-conditioned room:
The most important thing in growing cyclamen is watering. Don't water too much or the roots will rot easily. Wait until the soil is dry, then water thoroughly, and be careful not to splash the leaves; water directly onto the potting soil. When you water thoroughly, water will run out of the bottom of the pot, and that runoff should be cleaned up right away!
Cactus
Recommendation rating: ★ ★ ★ ★
Why recommended: releases oxygen at night, calms the mind and aids sleep
Cacti, ball cacti and column cacti are all plants that release oxygen at night. Keep a small pot in the bedroom to improve your sleep quality, so you won't be drowsy and yawning the next day and will feel energetic all day long~
Cactus care in an air-conditioned room:
Cacti love sunlight, so it is best to put them somewhere in the room with good light. You don't need to water too often, and you don't need to mist them either; just water thoroughly once every ten days to half a month~
Many flower lovers already grow these plants
So hurry and move a pot into your air-conditioned room
to prevent air-conditioning headaches~
