The heated and air-conditioned room is too dry, plant some humidifying plants

Monstera

Monstera has the unique ability to absorb carbon dioxide at night, and growing it at home can help purify the air to a certain extent. Generally, the plants are large, with sparse and beautiful leaves, and are known for their shade tolerance. They are suitable for decoration and embellishment in indoor living rooms and walkways.

Maintenance

1. Afraid of strong sunlight. Especially for sown seedlings and newly transplanted seedlings, avoid direct sunlight.

2. It is better to keep the water wet than dry. Keep the soil in the pot moist but not waterlogged. In winter, the evaporation of leaves will be weakened, so the amount of watering should be reduced. Water once every 2 to 3 days in spring and autumn. Water every day in midsummer and spray several times.

3. Apply fertilizer in small amounts frequently. Fertilize once every half month during the growing season. At the same time, the roots of Monstera are relatively tender, so avoid applying raw and concentrated fertilizers to avoid burning the roots.

4. Binding and plastic surgery are required. Monstera has thick stems and large leaves. Especially when adult plants are divided, they need to be framed and tied up to prevent them from falling over and deforming. The bracket is removed after the shape is finalized. At the same time, when the leaves at the nodes grow too densely and the branches grow too long after the plant has taken shape, pay attention to pruning the entire plant.

5. As long as you do not eat the juice of Monstera deliciosa or rub the juice into your eyes or wounds, its toxicity will not cause harm to humans.

Brazilwood

A very popular large indoor potted flower and tree, it belongs to the large-leaf green plant family. Its leaves are large and can evaporate more water from the leaves, which has the effect of humidifying the room.

Maintenance

1. The Brazilian tree likes high temperature, humidity and sunlight. If it is too shaded, the leaf color will fade. However, it is not resistant to strong light, especially from May to October, which will cause the leaves to turn yellow and the leaf tips to dry out, so certain shading measures are needed.

2. Place it in a well-lit place indoors in autumn and winter, and be sure to spray water on the leaves. The soil in the pot should be half dry and half wet. Too much watering will cause root rot and leaf burn. In northern areas, water every three or four days in spring, summer and autumn.

3. During the growing period of the rubber tree, organic fertilizer can be buried at the base of the plant or the edge of the pot. Spraying foliar fertilizer three or four times a month can promote its growth. The fertilization period is from May to October every year, and fertilization is stopped in winter.

Syngonium

Syngonium, also known as arrow-leaf taro, can use its broad leaves to increase air humidity and absorb large amounts of formaldehyde and ammonia. The more leaves there are, the stronger the air filtering and purification and moisturizing functions are.

Maintenance

1. It likes warmth and humidity, is afraid of direct sunlight, and is not cold-resistant. It should be placed in a sunny place indoors from late October. The indoor temperature should not be lower than 10℃, otherwise the leaves will turn yellow.

2. In winter, special attention should be paid to maintaining high humidity and temperature in the soil and environment so that the leaves can be strong and full and have better ornamental effect. During the peak growth period in summer, you need to water the plant sufficiently, keep the soil in the pot moist, and spray water on the leaves every day.

3. Syngonium grows very fast and needs to be repotted once a year. Old and messy branches should be properly pruned during the growth process.

White Anthurium

In autumn and winter, the high evaporation rate of white calla lilies can have the effect of invisible humidification, prevent the nasal mucosa from drying out, and inhibit waste gases exhaled by the human body such as ammonia and acetone. At the same time, it can also filter benzene, trichloroethylene and formaldehyde in the air.

Maintenance

1. The plant is relatively shade-tolerant and can be cultivated indoors in a place with bright diffuse light all year round. It is best to provide sufficient light conditions in winter, which is not only conducive to the dark green color of the leaves, but also conducive to overwintering.

2. Keep the soil in the pot moist, but avoid overwatering. In winter, you should control watering and keep the soil in the pot slightly moist. In summer and dry seasons, the leaves should be sprayed with water frequently, and water should be sprinkled on the surrounding ground to provide higher air humidity.

3. Flowering of Anthurium needs to be induced. One month before flowering, spray gibberellic acid to induce flowering artificially.

4. The leaves of white calla lily grow rapidly, so you need to change the pot and loosen the soil in time according to its growth condition. Every year in early spring, or when the plant's branches and leaves are too dense and the ratio of plant to pot is 3:1, it is necessary to change the pot in time.

cactus

Cactus is easy to manage and cultivate due to its unique way of exhaling, which allows it to exhale oxygen at night. While refreshing the air, it can also make the room feel moist and gentle, making it more suitable to be placed in an air-conditioned room.

Maintenance

1. November to March of the following year is the dormant period of cactus. Place it in a sunny and windproof place indoors and it can safely overwinter when the temperature is above 5℃.

2. Cactus likes strong light, is resistant to heat, drought and barrenness, and has strong vitality. In spring and autumn, when watering, you must follow the principle of "don't water unless the soil is dry, and don't water too much if the soil is not too wet." June to August is the period of vigorous growth. Generally, water thoroughly once every morning and add water in the evening depending on the situation. When watering, avoid getting the stems wet.

3. Apply thin liquid fertilizer once every 10-15 days during the growing period, and stop fertilizing after October, otherwise the new tissue will be weak and easily affected by frost.

Lucky Bamboo

Lucky bamboo can be planted in pots or grown in water, and both can release moisture into the room. It is known as the "humidifier among plants", and its effect is more significant, especially in the private bedroom.

Maintenance

1. Lucky bamboo is suitable for bright scattered light and can survive in indoor places with little sunlight. Be careful not to place it directly where it is blown by air conditioning to avoid drying out the leaf tips and edges.

2. When hydroponically cultivating, pay attention to cutting the roots at an angle and make the blade smooth to promote rooting. Just add water to one-third of the bottle. If it is tap water, leave it for a day before use. Change the water every 3 days or so. Do not turn the bottle within 10 days. The plant will take root in about half a month.

3. Lucky bamboo cannot be grown well with just plain water. You need to add 5 to 10 drops of nutrient solution to every 500 ml of water, and the frequency should be about once a month. After adding the nutrient solution, change the water about once every 10 days in winter, spring and autumn, and about once every 5 days in summer.

4. When growing lucky bamboo in pots, you must control the humidity and temperature during management. During the growing season, keep the soil in the pot moist and spray water on the leaves frequently. The soil in the pot should not be too moist in winter, but you should spray water on the leaves from time to time, and pay attention to cold protection. During the peak growing season from May to September, granular compound fertilizer can be applied 2-3 times a month to keep the leaves green and shiny.

Areca palm

Areca palm can evaporate one liter of water every day and is the best natural humidifier. In addition, its green palm leaves are very effective in purifying xylene and formaldehyde.

Maintenance

1. It has weak cold resistance and is very sensitive to low temperatures. The wintering temperature should be above 10℃. If it is lower than 5℃, the plant will definitely be harmed.

2. Avoid direct sunlight. 50% of the sunlight should be blocked in summer. Even short-term exposure will cause the leaves to turn yellow and it will be difficult to recover. In winter, place it in a brightly lit place indoors.

3. When watering, you should follow the principle of "dry through, wet through". Pay attention to watering in time during the growing season to keep the soil moist. Water twice a day during vigorous growth in summer; control watering after late autumn and on rainy days.

4. When planting, bury the seeds a little deeper to help the new shoots absorb fertilizer. During the period of vigorous growth in May and June, apply fertilizer and water once every 1-2 weeks. It is better to use slow-release compound fertilizer; stop fertilizing after late autumn.

Aloe Vera

Aloe vera carries out photosynthesis during the day, releasing oxygen, and absorbs carbon dioxide in the room at night, thereby purifying the indoor air. In addition, aloe vera can purify 90% of the formaldehyde in one cubic meter of air. Planting a few aloe vera plants at home is like installing a "biological air purifier" to sweep away dust and haze.

Maintenance

1. Aloe vera is afraid of cold. It basically stops growing when the temperature is below 10℃, and its leaf flesh will wilt and die due to the cold when the temperature is below 0℃.

2. Aloe vera likes light and tolerates partial shade. It should avoid direct sunlight and excessive shade.

3. Aloe vera is known as the "plant that cannot die from drought" as it can remain dry for several months without dying. In winter, water once every 15 to 20 days, increase leaf spraying appropriately, water as little as possible, and keep the soil in the pot dry; in spring and autumn, water once every 5 to 7 days. The principle of watering is not to water unless the soil is dry, and water thoroughly when watering; in summer, water once every 2 to 3 days.

4. Aloe vera needs nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium and some trace elements. Green fermented organic fertilizers can be applied, such as cake fertilizer, chicken manure, compost, etc.
