Which flowers are suitable for the bedroom? Don't miss this recommendation

The bedroom is a place to rest at night, a cozy space. Growing some small plants in the bedroom can not only beautify the room, but also make us feel happy. So, which flowers are suitable for placing in our bedroom? What are the considerations for placing flowers? Let's take a look below.

I. Flowers that can absorb toxic chemical substances

Aloe vera, spider plant, snake plant, and Aspidistra are natural cleaners that can remove harmful substances from the air. Studies have shown that snake plants and spider plants can absorb more than 80% of harmful gases indoors, and their ability to absorb formaldehyde is extremely strong. Aloe vera is also good at absorbing formaldehyde, and can absorb 90% of the formaldehyde contained in 1 cubic meter of air.

English ivy, sago palm, kumquat, pomegranate, purslane, Chinese rose, camellia, Aglaia odorata, daisy, wintersweet, marigold, and others can effectively remove harmful substances such as sulfur dioxide, chlorine, ether, ethylene, carbon monoxide, and nitrogen peroxide.

Orchids, osmanthus, wintersweet, Caladium bicolor, and Excoecaria cochinchinensis are natural dust removers; their fine hairs can intercept and adsorb floating particles and smoke dust in the air.

II. Flowers that can repel mosquitoes and insects

When the weather turns warm, mosquito-repelling plants become the focus of people's attention. Mosquito plant is one such plant. It is an aromatic plant of the geranium family with a modified genetic structure, and was only introduced from Australia in recent years. This plant is drought-tolerant, can grow to maturity within half a year, and with proper care can live for 10 to 15 years. Its branches and leaves can be shaped at will, and it has high ornamental value. Mosquito plant gives off a fresh and elegant lemon fragrance, has a very good mosquito-repelling effect indoors, and has no toxic side effects on the human body. The higher the temperature, the more fragrance it releases, and the better the mosquito-repelling effect. According to tests, one pot of mosquito plant with a crown width of more than 30 cm can drive mosquitoes out of a room of more than 10 sq m. In addition, a plant called pyrethrum contains pyrethrin and can also effectively repel mosquitoes and insects.

III. Flowers that can kill germs

The volatile oils produced by aromatic flowers such as roses, osmanthus, violets, jasmine, lemons, roses, dianthus, lily of the valley, and crape myrtle have a significant bactericidal effect.

Plants such as crape myrtle, jasmine, and lemon can kill native bacteria such as diphtheria bacteria and dysentery bacteria within 5 minutes. The fragrance given off by plants such as roses, dianthus, lily of the valley, violets, roses, and osmanthus has a clear inhibitory effect on the growth and reproduction of tubercle bacilli, pneumococci, and staphylococci.

Succulent plants native to tropical arid regions, such as cacti, have stomata on their fleshy stems that close during the day and open at night, producing oxygen while absorbing carbon dioxide, thereby increasing the concentration of negative ions in indoor air.

Plants such as Sansevieria trifasciata, snake plant, agave, Opuntia lasiacantha, Kalanchoe, sedum, Bryophyllum pinnatum, and cultivated bromeliads can also purify the air at night.

In addition: plants such as lilac, jasmine, rose, violet, and mint can help people relax, feel cheerful, aid sleep, and also improve work efficiency.

IV. Flowers for three-dimensional greening of the home

Plant climbing plants such as Boston ivy, grape, morning glory, wisteria, and rose around the home, and let them climb along walls or trellises to form a green shade canopy, which can effectively reduce solar radiation and greatly lower indoor temperature. Traditional plants such as English ivy, canna, and Chinese evergreen also have the effect of regulating indoor air. It should be noted that as far as possible, do not grow ornamental flowering plants with too strong a fragrance indoors. Such as oleander and so on.
