Environmental protection effect:
(Ball cactus - anti-radiation)
In life and work, growing a pot of ball cactus has the effect of absorbing electromagnetic radiation. The ball cactus's breathing pores open at night, and while absorbing carbon dioxide it can release a large amount of oxygen. Placing this plant beside electrical appliances at home or in the office can effectively reduce the electromagnetic radiation pollution produced by various electrical and electronic products and increase the concentration of negative ions in indoor air, so placing this plant beside electrical appliances at home or in the office can help the human body reduce as much as possible the radiation released by computers. There is also a saying in feng shui that placing large potted plants with pointed leaves on the balcony can bring good fortune and avert disaster.
(Ball cactus - natural oxygen bar)
Most plants carry out photosynthesis during the day, absorbing carbon dioxide and releasing oxygen; at night they carry out respiration, absorbing oxygen and releasing carbon dioxide. But some plants are the opposite; for example, cacti release carbon dioxide during the day, and at night absorb carbon dioxide and release oxygen, so placing a cactus in the room at night can supplement oxygen and help sleep. Do not underestimate the ball cactus, it is also a master at absorbing dust! Placing a ball cactus indoors, especially a hydroponic ball cactus (because hydroponic ball cacti are cleaner and more environmentally friendly), can purify the air.
