How to choose indoor plants? Keep in mind the three dos and three don'ts

In modern home decor, many friends pay great attention to decorating with indoor greenery and flowers. Growing plants indoors should be based on health as the prerequisite. How should you choose? Pay attention to the following three dos and three don'ts:

Three dos for indoor gardening:

First do, grow flowers with strong toxin-absorbing ability

According to research, narcissus, four o'clocks, chrysanthemums, and saxifrage can convert nitrogen oxides into protein in plant cells; spider plants, aloe, and snake plants can absorb large amounts of indoor pollutants such as formaldehyde.

Second do, grow flowers that can secrete bactericides

The bactericides secreted by flowers such as jasmine, lilac, honeysuckle, and morning glory can kill certain bacteria in the air and keep indoor air clean and hygienic.

Third do, grow flowers with "complementary" functions

Most flowers mainly carry out photosynthesis during the day, absorbing carbon dioxide and releasing oxygen. At night they carry out respiration, absorbing oxygen and releasing carbon dioxide. Cacti are just the opposite, releasing carbon dioxide during the day and absorbing carbon dioxide and releasing oxygen at night. Growing flowers with "complementary" functions in the same room not only allows both to benefit each other, but also balances the indoor oxygen and carbon dioxide levels, keeping indoor air fresh.

Three don'ts for indoor gardening:

First don't, placing too many

If too many flowers are placed indoors, it will reduce the indoor oxygen concentration at night and affect the quality of sleep at night.

Second don't, placing toxic flowers indoors

The bulbs of narcissus contain lycorine, and if a child accidentally eats them, it can cause symptoms such as vomiting; excessive contact with mimosa can easily cause sparse eyebrows and yellowed hair, and in severe cases cause hair loss. Growing such plants is not only unfavorable to health, but actually harmful.

Third don't, growing too many flowers that give off strong fragrances and pungent odors

If too many fragrant flowers are placed indoors and the fragrance is too strong, it will excite the nerves and is bad for people.
