These 10 plants are not suitable for the bedroom, so take note
Are you doing well with such a huge harem of plants?
Turning over several name cards a day, is your body still holding up?
The beauty by your pillow is an accomplice in murder for money, did you know?
Recently, after watching several palace dramas, after seeing the emperor's harem of three thousand beauties, each one as beautiful as a flower, yet also full of scheming. Beautiful things always have thorns, and your plant harem that you dote on day and night also has some restless members.
The plant harem,
can your bedroom hold it?
If your bedroom is small and not well ventilated, then it is best to give up the idea of sleeping with plants.
Like humans, plants respire at every moment, inhaling oxygen and exhaling carbon dioxide. During the day with ample sunlight, they can still photosynthesize, produce oxygen, and make up for the consumption; at night, they can only compete with you for oxygen.
Of course, if your room is large, has plenty of sunlight during the day, and you like to sleep with the doors and windows open, then you can consider this as appropriate. However, a bedroom shut tight at night may already be a bit short of oxygen. Placing too many plants, especially large-leaved plants with high oxygen consumption, may lead to endless nightmares.
Watch out!
