As people's living standards rise, so does the pressure of life. Working during the day, working overtime at night, and still having to look after the kids when you get home, spinning like a top all day long, yet when night comes you cannot fall asleep, and even when you do, you keep dreaming. Day after day like this, your mind grows more and more anxious, and many people end up in a state of sub-health because of it. So, friend, are you the same?

If this sounds like you, then grow a pot of flowers. While it helps you relax, it also freshens the air at home. Today I am sharing 5 kinds of flowers that can soothe the nerves, promote sleep, and let you fall asleep easily without "anxiety"!

1. Bergamot (Citrus bergamia)

This is a flower that Xiaohua likes very much. Its scent is fresh and natural, and its leaves and fruit also release an essential oil substance that, when smelled, can relax the mind, ease nervous tension, anxiety, depression and other emotions, relieve insomnia, and at night help a person fall asleep quickly, letting you sleep soundly all night.

Its care is also very simple. It is best to use nutrient-rich slightly acidic soil; pine needle soil and leaf mold are both very good. If northern flower lovers plant it, as long as the indoor temperature stays above 5 degrees, it can grow well. After spring arrives, it is best to move it outdoors for a period of care, otherwise it is not easy for it to bloom and bear fruit. Generally, water once every 7-10 days, and water thoroughly; there must be no standing water in the pot.

Be sure to give it plenty of sunlight!

Care is not difficult either. Monstera likes a warm, humid environment, is averse to drought, and fears direct sunlight. Water must be sufficient, and the potting soil must be kept moist often. It relatively likes fertilizer, so fertilize appropriately. From April to September, apply dilute liquid fertilizer twice a month. With enough fertilizer, the leaf color will be lovely.

4. Clivia (Clivia miniata)

Clivia is beautiful in both flower and leaf, and it also enjoys the reputation of being an indoor scavenger. It can greatly improve indoor air, absorb toxic substances and gases in the room, and release a large amount of oxygen, so growing a pot in the bedroom can help people relax and fall asleep easily. What is more, clivia can also bring people good wealth luck!

Clivia bonsai should be cared for in loose, fertile neutral or slightly acidic humus soil. Because clivia has fleshy roots, it must not be overwatered. Generally, water about once every 7 days. When watering, it is best to insert a small stick into the potting soil to check whether it is already dry; water only when it is dry, and water thoroughly when you do. Never let water accumulate in the pot, or the roots will easily rot. It can be placed indoors in a spot with bright, indirect light and good ventilation. Do not expose it to blazing sun.

Grown indoors, it is not only beautiful and elegant, but its ability to purify the air is also first-rate. It can absorb carbon dioxide at night and release oxygen.

Kalanchoe can also increase air humidity, reduce the dryness indoors in autumn and winter, purify the closed indoor environment at night, and improve our sleep quality.

Care is also quite simple. Because its leaves have the ability to store water, it does not need much watering. Generally, water once a week; in winter, watering about once every 10 days is enough. It needs bright, indirect light and good ventilation. During the growing period, apply more nitrogen fertilizer, and before flowering you can spray the leaves or drench the roots with monopotassium phosphate. If you want more blooms and beautiful flower shapes, it needs to go through repeated pinching, and after flowering, promptly cut off the spent flowers so that it can bloom abundantly with vivid colors.
