You can just put a pot of it in the bedroom. It will release oxygen for 12 hours, allowing you to sleep soundly without insomnia!

Kalanchoe

The first thing Huahua wants to talk about is definitely the Kalanchoe, which is beautiful and easy to grow! Kalanchoe contains Crassulacean acid metabolites, which usually open their stomata at night to absorb carbon dioxide and store it in the body, thereby increasing negative oxygen ions in the room and making the air fresher!

Maintenance points:

1. The temperature is high in summer, and the Kalanchoe in some flower lovers' homes will enter a dormant state. At this time, you must pay attention to shade and avoid direct sunlight. At the same time, use a small fan to blow it to lower the temperature.

2. There may be a large outbreak of scale insects on Kalanchoe in summer, so prevention must be taken in advance. You can spray some drugs such as carbendazim and chlorpyrifos, and apply some organic liquid fertilizer during the growing period to make the Kalanchoe grow strong, thereby improving its resistance to scale insects in summer.

3. Kalanchoe is mainly propagated by cuttings, but patient flower lovers can also choose leaf cuttings. The temperature is high now, and it only takes about half a month for the cuttings of Kalanchoe to take root!

Aloe Vera

Speaking of a must-have flower in summer, it must be aloe vera! The pores of aloe vera are closed during the day and open at night, thus absorbing the carbon dioxide exhaled at night. It is also very easy to maintain, so it is perfect to place in the bedroom!

Maintenance points:

1. Before planting aloe vera, you can put broken tiles or stones at the bottom of the pot. It is best to mix some river sand or coal slag into the potting soil to increase the water permeability and prevent the aloe vera from accumulating water and rotting its roots.

2. The temperature is high in summer, so it is best to shade the aloe vera to make its leaves greener. If it is exposed to direct sunlight for a long time, the leaves will easily be burned. You can place it on the bedroom windowsill.

3. Aloe vera is mainly propagated by division. When you see small buds growing on the aloe vera, break them off or directly remove the plant from the pot and divide it. You can then get several pots of aloe vera at once!

Measuring ruler

As a kind of cactus with thick skin and flesh, Opuntia paniculata has a beautiful name called "universal rootstock". Basically, many flower graftings are carried out on Opuntia paniculata! The diatomaceous earth will absorb carbon dioxide at night, thereby increasing the oxygen content in the bedroom, allowing people to sleep better!

Maintenance points:

1. The octagonal plant can be exposed to more sunlight in spring, but it must be shaded from strong sunlight in summer, otherwise the leaves will be burned and wilt. It can usually be placed 1m away from the bedroom balcony to receive sufficient diffuse light.

2. The octopus is drought-resistant. Water it only when the soil in the pot is dry. Otherwise, the roots will easily rot if there is too much water. You can add some sand to the soil in the pot to increase water permeability.

3. The Oleander is known as a universal rootstock and can be used to graft other flowers, such as Christmas cactus.

Tiger Piranha

The leaves of Sansevieria are thick and shiny. Its stomata are closed during the day and open at night to absorb carbon dioxide. At the same time, it can also absorb harmful substances such as formaldehyde and benzene, making the indoor air fresher!

Maintenance points:

1. Sansevieria likes sun and is shade-tolerant, but the temperature is high in summer, so you can let Sansevieria bask in the sun in the morning and evening. When the sun is scorching at noon, you must pay attention to shade.

2. If you want the Sansevieria to grow quickly, you can dig 3-5 holes on the side of the pot and bury cooked soybeans in them, or add some compound fertilizer granules to supplement nutrients for the Sansevieria.

3. Tiger Piranha is usually propagated mainly by cuttings. Cut a branch from the mother plant of Sansevieria, cut it into small pieces of 7-10 cm, prepare loose and breathable soil for cuttings, and wait for roots to take shape.

Good Luck

As a representative plant of the Bromeliaceae family, the lucky holly also carries out Crassulaceae acid metabolism and absorbs a large amount of carbon dioxide at night, so it is completely fine to grow a pot of lucky holly in the bedroom!

Maintenance points:

1. In summer, the temperature is high and the direct sunlight is relatively strong. At this time, you should pay attention to shade the lucky charm plant to avoid burning the leaves or even causing the death of the entire plant.

2. The lucky bamboo shoots grow vigorously in summer, so you need to water them more often. You can use tap water that has been left to dry for 1-2 days to remove the chlorine before watering the flowers. In summer, you can spray water around the flower pots to lower the temperature and increase the air humidity.

3. The main method of propagation of Chinese lucky charm is division. Division is usually carried out in spring. After removing the lucky plant from the pot, break off the small buds that emerge and transplant them into new pots. After they take root, you can then maintain them normally.

Schlumbergera

The leaves of Christmas cactus are glossy and shiny, and when they bloom, the flowers gather together to form a bright red color. It is a plant that is enjoyable both for its leaves and flowers. Christmas cactus also contains Crassulacean acid metabolism, so it also absorbs carbon dioxide at night.

Maintenance points:

1. When the temperature is high in summer, Christmas cactus will enter a dormant state. At this time, you should place the Christmas cactus in a cool and well-ventilated place indoors so that it can spend the summer safely.

2. Christmas cactus will not grow during the dormant period. At this time, you should reduce the amount of watering. Water it only when the surface of the soil in the pot turns white. Never let the Christmas cactus be exposed to rain.

3. Christmas cactus can be propagated by cuttings and grafting. If you want to do cuttings, cut off 3-5 leaves and insert them into moist soil. If you want to graft, you can choose a rootstock such as Opuntia or cactus.

Crassulaceae succulent

Why is this special method called Crassulacean acid metabolism? In fact, it is because this way of survival is derived from the succulent plants of the Crassulaceae family! So for those Crassulaceae succulents, they all absorb carbon dioxide at night!

Maintenance points:

1. For Crassulaceae succulents, you must pay attention to ventilation and cooling in summer to avoid high temperatures that may cause black rot and death of the succulents.

2. Usually, it can be propagated by leaf cuttings. Break off the leaves, dry the wounds, and place them flat on the soil. They will soon take root and sprout!

That’s all for today’s introduction to Huahua.
