Who should not grow air-purifying plants?
People with a cold-deficiency constitution
A cold constitution generally refers to a cold-natured body, meaning the body tends to be cool. Air-purifying plants are also cold-natured herbs. If a person with a cold constitution lives with air-purifying plants for a long time, they will become more sensitive to cold and have cold hands and feet. Therefore, people with a cold constitution are not suited to growing air-purifying plants.
That is all for today's introduction to air-purifying plants. People with a cold constitution should be careful to avoid being around air-purifying plants. Don't they seem a little more lovable now?
Plant Feng Shui: Houseplants that make your home's air fresher
Green plants have always been nature's cleaning guards, and in the home they play a decorative role, and of course they also have a certain influence on Feng Shui. Some plants have their own functions, such as blocking radiation, purifying the air, and being attractive. So which plants can make the air at home fresher? In this installment,Plant Feng Shuitakes you to find out.
Hydroponic spider plant
The spider plant is known as the indoor green purifier, because it can absorb toxic and harmful gases from the air and release oxygen within 24 hours, exchanging the indoor air. The spider plant can break down carcinogens in the air such as formaldehyde, styrene, carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide, so whether you are in a city with severe smog or in a household with smokers, the spider plant is very suitable to grow.
There is not much fuss about where to place a spider plant; it is generally hung up. It can be placed at the entrance and exit between the living room and the balcony, or hung on the living room wall as decoration, and it also purifies indoor air.
Spider plants generally include varieties such as the variegated spider plant and the green-leaf spider plant, and whichever kind it is, it has the ability to purify the air. The spider plant likes warm and humid environments, with an optimum growing temperature of 15-25°C and a wintering temperature of 5°C, so pay attention to your region and season when choosing one.
Red bean bonsai pothos
Pothos can be placed in many places: an office desktop, a windowsill, a bathroom and so on, without restriction on location. Pothos can be grown in water or in soil, and can adapt to different placement locations and styles in the home.
Pothos comes to life on contact with water and has strong vitality; whether potted or hydroponic, it will grow as long as it is given a suitable amount of water. When planting, water the soil surface at the plant's roots with an appropriate amount, spray clean water on the leaves when it is dry, and regularly trim yellow leaves. Pothos likes warm, humid environments and cannot tolerate cold or drought; 15-35°C is optimal, and growth stops at 5°C.
Money tree
The money tree sounds more like a plant commonly used in Feng Shui, but in fact, besides its Feng Shui uses, this plant is more often used to improve the indoor environment. Through photosynthesis, the money tree can absorb toxic gases such as carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide, and in particular break down the exhaust gases produced by burning tobacco, finally releasing oxygen. In addition, the money tree can also absorb radiation, reducing the harm radiation does to the human body.
Because the money tree is fairly large, it is generally suitable for placement in large spaces such as the living room or dining room, where it serves as a home decoration while purifying harmful gases in the space and releasing oxygen. Placing it beside the television is most suitable: it becomes an ornament while purifying the air, and can better absorb the radiation released by the television.
The money tree has extremely strong vitality and likes sunlight while tolerating shade; it is a strongly sun-loving plant. It likes relatively high temperatures when growing, and in winter 16-18°C is generally the minimum growing temperature; below 10°C the plant easily dies. In summer, spray an appropriate amount of water on the leaves, and in winter reduce spraying appropriately.
