There's more to keeping flowers in the bedroom than meets the eye: plants that compete for oxygen are not suitable to place there

Put in a pot of Christmas cactus!

The Christmas cactus has glossy green leaves, and when it blooms, the flowers are like butterflies, elegant and lively, very beautiful. Most plants absorb oxygen and release carbon dioxide at night, but the Christmas cactus is a cactus-family flower: its stomata close during the day and open at night to release oxygen.

Key care points for Christmas cactus:

1. The Christmas cactus is in its flowering period right now, so do not move it around casually, otherwise it may easily drop buds. The Christmas cactus is a short-day flower; keep it in light for about 8 hours a day, and the flowers will be more vividly colored.

2. The leaves of the Christmas cactus are fleshy and have a fairly strong water-storage capacity, so it is quite drought-tolerant. Generally, watering once every 3 or 4 weeks is enough, and when watering, be sure not to splash water on the buds.

3. If the Christmas cactus leaves become wilted and soft, check how dry or moist the potting soil is. If the soil is dry, water it right away and appropriately water with some 0.2% monopotassium phosphate solution to supplement nutrients. If the soil is wet, ventilate it promptly, or repot it with fresh soil.

Put in a pot of snake plant!

The leaves of the snake plant are thick, upright and glossy; keeping one pot at home is simple, elegant and good-looking. The snake plant belongs to the Asparagaceae family; at night the stomata on its leaves open to release oxygen and reduce carbon dioxide levels, letting you sleep until dawn!

Key care points for snake plant:

1. The leaves of the snake plant have a very strong water-storage capacity; in winter, watering once a month is enough, and below 5°C you can stop watering the snake plant.

2. The snake plant is fairly cold-resistant; as long as it does not go below 0°C it is fine, but in winter it must be put in the sun, otherwise the leaves will become soft and yellow.

Put in a pot of kalanchoe!

Kalanchoe is a flower that everyone likes very much; there are many varieties and many flower colors, and a single flower stem can bear many blooms, a rich cluster of flowers that is very auspicious. Kalanchoe is a Crassulaceae flower, and like the cactus, its stomata open at night to release oxygen.

Key care points for kalanchoe:

1. If your kalanchoe has not yet grown buds, you had better hurry. Normally let it bask in the sun during the day; 5 or 6 hours a day is enough, and at night cover it with a black plastic bag.

2. If the kalanchoe has already grown buds, then there is no need to cover it with a plastic bag. You can put it by the windowsill and let it get more sun, which helps it bloom, and control watering to once every 2 or 3 weeks.

3. If the kalanchoe has already finished blooming, you can cut off the spent flowers and spray some 0.2% monopotassium phosphate solution, which helps bud differentiation and growth and lets the kalanchoe bloom again.

Put in a pot of Guzmania!

Guzmania is an ornamental bromeliad; its branches and leaves are emerald green and glossy, its flowers are large and brightly colored, and a single flower can bloom for a very long time, making it highly ornamental. And Guzmania also opens its stomata at night to release oxygen~

Key care points for Guzmania:

1. Guzmania has a relatively high demand for light; in winter it is best to give it 4~5 hours of light each day. If light is insufficient for a long time, the flower color will fade and it will wilt.

3. Guzmania is afraid of freezing; make sure the room temperature is above 10°C, otherwise it is prone to cold damage. In addition, when watering, be sure to note: after drawing the water, let it sit for 1 or 2 days so the water temperature is close to room temperature before watering.

Put in a pot of golden sedum!

Golden sedum is a very cute succulent plant, with plump little leaves. Golden sedum is a Crassulaceae plant, and like the flowers mentioned above, the golden sedum plant opens its stomata at night to release oxygen~

Key care points for golden sedum:

1. Put the golden sedum on the bedroom windowsill or another sunny place. Golden sedum needs frequent sun; if there is no sun for a long time, you can get a grow light to supplement its light.

2. Succulents are all fairly drought-tolerant, and golden sedum is no exception; it likes a dry, warm environment, so do not keep watering it all the time. Generally watering once a month is enough, and stop watering below 5°C.
