Which plants are suitable for the bedroom and can also release oxygen at night?
There are certain tricks to keeping potted plants in the bedroom. Do not place too many pots, and even more importantly, do not place plants that absorb oxygen and release carbon dioxide at night. The vast majority of plants absorb carbon dioxide during the day and release oxygen, so in the bedroom you should place potted plants that can release oxygen 24 hours a day.
Some plants kept in the bedroom will not release carbon dioxide at night either. These plants are rather special, since not all plants release carbon dioxide at night. In addition, these plants can also purify harmful gases in the air, such as the common allergens formaldehyde, benzene and xylene, and can greatly improve the air quality at home.
These plants can also release scents that make people relax, which helps calm our mood, helps us fall asleep faster and helps improve sleep quality, so placing them in the bedroom is very good. Below, let me introduce some plants that are very suitable for growing in the bedroom.
1. Snake plant
The snake plant can continue releasing oxygen and absorbing carbon dioxide at night, and it can adapt to the lighting conditions in the bedroom. It also does not need frequent watering, which avoids making the room very dirty, and does not need frequent care. You can grow it on a windowsill with appropriate scattered light, which allows it to produce a better air-purifying effect. It is a fantastic purifying plant.
During care, you only need to keep the potting soil in a state of watering thoroughly once it has dried out. Avoid frequent watering, and keep the minimum care temperature above 7 degrees.
2. Peace lily
The peace lily can purify formaldehyde and benzene from indoor air, and can also appropriately maintain environmental humidity, which is also beneficial to the human body. When caring for a potted peace lily, you can place it in a bright spot. It has a certain drought tolerance and does not need frequent watering.
3. Spider plant
The spider plant can purify formaldehyde from indoor air. It is simple to care for and suitable for beginners to grow. It can adapt to low light and bright environments. During care, you only need to maintain regular watering. Avoid overly frequent watering, and even more so, do not let the soil become waterlogged.
4. African daisy
The African daisy is very suitable for placing on a windowsill with appropriate light. During care, water it regularly and keep the environment ventilated. It can improve indoor air quality and helps absorb some harmful gases.
5. Ivy
Ivy can filter nutrient gases from indoor air. It adapts very well to the environment and can adapt to low-light conditions; a position with appropriate light during care is also fine. During growth, pay attention to watering at regular intervals, and avoid excessive exposure or direct sunlight. During the growing season, you can regularly spray water to maintain a certain air humidity.
Other indoor potted plants suitable for growing in the bedroom also include: Swiss cheese plant, aloe, jade plant, kalanchoe, cactus, dragon tree, fiddle-leaf fig, arrowhead plant, rubber plant, ZZ plant and pothos. If there is a balcony outside your bedroom, you can also grow jasmine, lavender, rosemary and gardenia, etc.
