Can gardenia be placed in the bedroom?

1. Can it be placed

It can be placed in the bedroom. Many people would think that it would compete with people for oxygen at night. In fact, the amount of oxygen it absorbs at night is negligible and the amount of carbon dioxide released is not much, so it can be ignored. It is not toxic itself, but can absorb toxic substances. Furthermore, it can be used for entertainment. These factors determine that it can be placed indoors.

2. Is it appropriate?

Overall, it can be placed, but it is not particularly suitable. For one thing, it will give off a scent. Although it smells fresher for a while, it will accumulate over a long period of time, especially in an environment with poor ventilation or no ventilation, and some people who are sensitive to fragrance will have an uncomfortable reaction. Moreover, indoor light is sometimes not conducive to the growth of the plants themselves.

3. In what situations is it inappropriate

Based on the above points, it is best not to put it in the bedroom in some cases:

(1) At night: Not only does it absorb oxygen, its floral fragrance can sometimes affect your rest. So, the best thing to do is to place it in the bedroom during the day and move it to the living room or balcony at night.

(2) Poor ventilation: As we said above, in poor ventilation conditions, the fragrance of flowers will accumulate little by little, making people feel uncomfortable. So, if the bedroom is not well ventilated, it is better not to put it there.

(3) Poor lighting: This refers to the plant itself. It is not conducive to its growth.
