Autumn and winter are dusty. 15 kinds of green plants are comparable to vacuum cleaners

Dripping Guanyin

The leaves of the weeping angel plant are large and can absorb dust in the air. They can improve the home environment, purify the air in the home, and give people a fresh feeling.

1. Temperature: The weeping angel can only grow well in an environment no lower than 18℃. If the temperature is lower than 18℃, the weeping angel will be in a dormant state and stop growing.

2. Fertilization: The weeping angel likes fertilizer and should be fertilized every month.

3. Watering: The weeping angel needs more water in summer, but not excessively. It is suitable to water it when it is dry and wet. There should not be water accumulation in the soil, otherwise the tubers will rot. It should be dormant in winter, water less and stop fertilizing.

4. Sunlight: The weeping angel prefers shade, so don’t expose it to direct sunlight. The main reason why the weeping angel becomes "wilted" is insufficient fertilizer. You should pay attention to top dressing.

★The juice of the weeping angel is poisonous, so be careful if you have elderly people and children at home!

Rubber Tree

Rubber trees have a unique ability to purify dust and can also purify formaldehyde in volatile organic compounds. Rubber trees can also absorb carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide and hydrogen fluoride in the air, purifying the air.

1. Temperature: The temperature of rubber tree is best at 20-25 degrees. It can grow well even above 30 degrees. It has good cold resistance. It can also grow well in rooms without heating in the north.

2. Light: When growing rubber trees, giving them sufficient sunlight will allow them to thrive. But provide adequate shade from May to September.

3. Fertilization: Just use nitrogen fertilizer, remember to stop fertilizing in winter.

Monstera

Its leaves have a strong dust-retention capacity in indoor environments, and can absorb a lot of fine dust, with strong purification ability, sweeping away carbon dioxide. It has a strong characteristic of absorbing carbon dioxide at night, which is more than 6 times higher than other flowers.

1. Light: Monstera should not be placed in direct sunlight, otherwise the leaves will wither. It can receive full sun in the winter, but needs to be placed in diffuse sunlight in the summer.

2. Temperature: It is not cold-resistant. In winter, its growth will be slowed down if the temperature is below 10℃, and it will be frozen if the temperature is below 5℃. The best temperature range is between 20~25℃.

3. Watering: The leaves are relatively large and the transpiration is strong, so water is lost very quickly. Therefore, water frequently to keep the soil moist, but do not allow water to accumulate! Water more on dry, hot days and during the peak growth period, and water as little as possible in winter and for seedlings.

4. Fertilization: During the vigorous growth period, fertilize once every two weeks. Pay attention to the amount of fertilizer and apply thin fertilizer frequently.

Mint

Generally speaking, mint is pretty good at absorbing particulate matter because its leaves are rough, have hairy surfaces, and can secrete mucus, which can absorb dust at home. It's also a good idea to keep a few mint potted plants.

1. Sunlight: Mint likes scattered light, so it cannot be placed directly under the sun. It can be placed at the base of the wall on the shady side to block some of the sunlight. For indoor cultivation, it can be placed 3-5 meters away from the sunny balcony.

2. Watering: Keep the soil in the pot moist, but do not allow water to accumulate. Different varieties have different water requirements. Those with more and denser leaves require more water; those with fewer and sparser leaves require less water.

Clivia

The body of the Clivia plant, especially the thick leaves, has many pores and hairs, which can secrete a large amount of mucus. Through air circulation, it can absorb a large amount of dust, dirt and harmful gases, filter the indoor air and reduce the dust content in the indoor space.

1. Soil: It is more suitable for acidic soil rich in corrosive substances, and the soil should have good air permeability. The general ratio is: coniferous soil 20%, garden soil 20%, compost 20%, cake residue 20%, and river sand 20%.

2. Water requirements: The water content of Clivia roots is relatively high, and it can tolerate drought in general. But it is very afraid of waterlogging, so be careful when watering, and water it only when the soil is dry!

3. Fertilization: Before changing the soil in autumn, Clivia should be mixed with a certain amount of base fertilizer (such as hemp seeds, castor seeds, bone meal, etc.) as base fertilizer. It is better to use liquid fertilizer for subsequent fertilization, but it should be used in moderation. Too high a concentration will easily burn the roots. For example, the ratio of bean cake fertilizer to water is generally 1:30.

4. Light: Clivia likes semi-shade and is phototropic, so you need to change the pot after a period of time, otherwise it will grow crooked!

Podocarpus

Podocarpus has a strong ability to absorb smoke and dust, which can purify the air. It also has the effect of absorbing sulfur dioxide.

1. Environment: Podocarpus likes warm, humid and well-ventilated places. It is best to place it indoors at a temperature above 5 degrees in winter!

2. Watering: Keep the soil of the Podocarpus moist, but do not allow water to accumulate in the pot. Spray water on the leaves of the Podocarpus frequently to increase the air humidity.

3. Fertilization: During the growing season of Podocarpus, decomposed thin liquid fertilizer should be applied once a month.

Yew

Yew has a good dust-proof effect. The surface of its leaves and stems can secrete mucus or oil, so it can intercept, filter, adsorb, or adhere to various particles suspended in the atmosphere.

1. Fertilization: Chemical fertilizers are not suitable for yew trees, but some cake fertilizers, farmland fertilizers, etc. can be applied.

2. Light: Yew is a shade-loving plant and is not suitable to be placed directly near the window to receive direct sunlight. It is best to receive scattered light and be placed in a relatively bright place.

3. Watering: Water when the soil is dry and make sure to water thoroughly. When the weather is hot or the air is dry, spray water on the leaves to keep them moist.

Fairy Finger

Fairy fingers are also good at absorbing dust. Placing a fairy finger indoors is very effective in purifying the air.

1. Air humidity: When the indoor air is dry, you should spray water on the leaves of the plants frequently. Spray the modified stems with water once a day or at noon every other day (also when flowering), until there are small water droplets on the stems and leaves but no dripping.

2. Fertilization: When the cactus begins to grow in spring, nitrogen-based fertilizer should be applied once every 10 days to make the leaf-like stems of the cactus thicker. In autumn, the flower buds of the cactus begin to differentiate, and phosphorus-based fertilizer should be applied once every 7 to 10 days to promote flower bud differentiation and bud growth.

3. Watering: The fairy finger is relatively drought-resistant and should avoid waterlogging. During the growing period in spring and autumn, sufficient water should be supplied to keep the soil in the pot moist. But do not water too much, otherwise it will easily cause the roots of the plant to rot. The potting soil of the fairy finger plant should be moist but slightly dry when it is flowering. Excessive watering will cause the flower buds to wither and fall off.

Wintersweet

Wintersweet can also absorb dust in the air ~ Did you expect that? The cilia on its body can intercept and absorb floating particles and smoke in the air, and can also kill germs.

1. Watering: Wintersweet is drought-resistant but afraid of waterlogging. Therefore, the soil of potted wintersweet should be kept relatively dry. Do not water it unless the soil is dry. If you do, water it thoroughly.

2. Temperature: Wintersweet likes sunlight but can also tolerate partial shade. It is afraid of wind and relatively cold-resistant. It can safely overwinter when the temperature is not lower than -15℃. It can be cultivated in the open field in the south of Beijing. If the temperature drops to -10℃ during the flowering period, the flowers will be damaged by frost.

3. Pruning: Wintersweet has a strong ability to branch out. There is a saying that "Wintersweet has no shortage of branches". It is generally advisable to prune it in time after the flowers fade and before the leaves sprout. Remove dead branches, overcrowded branches, crossed branches, diseased and insect-infested branches, and leave 2 to 3 pairs of buds at the base of one-year-old branches, and cut off the upper branches to promote sprouting and branching.

4. Fertilization: Wintersweets are fertilizer-loving flowers. Timely fertilization can promote flower bud differentiation and more flowering. The main fertilizers for wintersweet are phosphorus and potassium, with less nitrogen fertilizer. The general ratio of phosphorus, potassium and nitrogen is 2:1:0.5. Fertilized in this way, the wintersweet flowers will be large, numerous and fragrant.

Milan

Milan is good at absorbing dust and purifying the air. It is not difficult to maintain and the flowers have a pleasant fragrance.

1. Milan likes warm climate, so it is generally recommended to grow it in a greenhouse. It can be placed outside in summer, but you must pay attention to shade. Appropriate shade is still acceptable.

2. Temperature: The general temperature is maintained at around 25 degrees Celsius, and water appropriately to cool down during the hottest period of summer. The temperature in winter must not be lower than 10 degrees Celsius, otherwise you will get frostbite.

3. Watering: Milan likes moisture, so it needs to be watered in time, especially during the growing season. When it is hot and dry, the leaves need to be properly watered.

4. Fertilizer: Milan does not have very strict requirements for fertilizer, but because it blooms many times a year, it is easy to cause nutrient deficiency, so it is necessary to apply some fertilizer in time after flowering, but not too much.

Areca palm

Among the plants that purify the air, Areca palm is undoubtedly the best and is known as the "most effective air humidifier."

1. Watering: Watering should follow the principle of "dry through, wet through". Pay attention to watering in time during the growing period to keep the soil in the pot moist. Water more during the vigorous growth in summer; control watering after late autumn and on rainy days.

2. Air humidity: The air humidity around the plant must always be maintained at a high level. In summer, you should often spray water on the leaves and the ground to increase the air humidity. The leaves should be kept clean in winter. You can spray water on them or scrub them frequently.

3. Fertilization: During the period of vigorous growth from May to June, apply fertilizer and water once every 1-2 weeks. It is better to use slow-release compound fertilizer; stop fertilizing after late autumn.

Rich Coconut

The leaves of the rich coconut palm are dark green, upright and beautiful, and can absorb dust, smoke, fumes, etc. in the air.

1. Potting soil: When choosing a pot for the Coconut Palm, you can choose a clay pot or a purple clay pot with good air permeability, use loose and fertile soil, and change the pot every two to three years.

2. Light: The leaves of the rich coconut will dry out under strong light. It is best to place it in a place with good scattered light conditions and pay attention to ventilation.

3. Watering: The rich coconut tree needs sufficient watering during its growth period. In the hot summer season, you can spray water on the leaves frequently to increase the air humidity and make the leaves shiny. In winter, water less and keep the soil in the pot dry.

Ficus microcarpa

The fiddle-leaf fig has tall branches and large leaves, which can absorb dust and oil smoke in the air, and also has a certain absorption effect on cigarettes and dust.

1. Light: Ficus microcarpa has a strong adaptability to light and can grow well under bright scattered light. Direct sunlight should be avoided in summer. If placed outdoors, it must be shaded, and light should be increased in winter.

2. Soil: The best potting soil is a mixture of leaf mold, culture soil and coarse sand. You can use 1 part peat soil, 1 part garden soil and 1 part river sand as the base, and add a small amount of decomposed base fertilizer.

3. Watering: In spring and summer, the fiddle-leaf fig grows faster and requires more water. It must be given sufficient water and spraying water on the leaves should be increased. Reduce watering in winter.

Caladium

The cilia of variegated caladium can absorb dust particles in the air, effectively purify the air, increase humidity and sterilize.

1. Light: It prefers partial shade and scattered light. Excessive exposure to the sun will burn the leaves, but if there is insufficient light, the leaves will become dark, slender and weak, and lose their brilliant colors.

2. Watering: Do not make it too wet, otherwise the tubers will easily rot. Keep the soil moist in spring and summer. If it is dry, the leaves will wither. You should also spray water on the leaves in summer. Reduce watering in winter.

3. Soil: loose, fertile, and well-drained. Some river sand can be added to the humus soil.

Ficus microcarpa

The weeping fig is a tropical and subtropical plant that is wind-resistant, moisture-resistant, absorbs atmospheric pollution, and purifies the air. It is a very effective air purifier.

1. Humidity: Ficus microcarpa prefers a high humidity environment and avoids dryness. During the growing season in midsummer, you need to water frequently to keep it moist, and spray water on the leaves and the air frequently to allow the weeping fig to grow better and increase the gloss of the leaves. To prevent root rot in winter, water only when the soil is dry.

2. Temperature: Although the weeping fig has a certain degree of cold resistance, the wintering temperature should not be lower than 5℃, and the suitable temperature for growth is 15-30℃.

3. Light: Weeping fig should generally be placed in a bright place, but direct sunlight should be avoided, especially variegated varieties should avoid sunlight. If there is insufficient sunlight, the internodes will elongate, the leaves will droop, and the growth will be weak; in sunlight, the leaf flesh will become thicker and more shiny.

There are a lot of floating and sinking in the air in autumn and winter. With these plants, you don’t have to worry about it~
