As the weather turns cold, be careful when growing flowers indoors

Things to note when growing flowers indoors

Don’t move “toxic” flowers and plants indoors

When the weather is cold, especially in winter, you should be selective when moving flowers and plants indoors, and never move "toxic" flowers and plants indoors.

Flowers and plants "breathe" and compete with people for oxygen

It is not advisable to place too many plants indoors, because in addition to photosynthesis, they also "breathe", inhaling oxygen and releasing carbon dioxide. Moreover, when the weather is cold, people tend to close windows, which results in poor indoor air circulation and increases the carbon dioxide concentration in the indoor air. Especially at night, the photosynthesis of flowers and plants is restricted, while their respiration is very active, easily competing with humans for oxygen and affecting their health.

Avoid casual contact and beware of poisoning

Indoor flowers and plants will first affect asthma patients or patients with airway hyperresponsiveness. If there are these patients at home, it is best not to place too many flowers and plants, as well as some flowers with strong fragrance, indoors. Because pollen can easily cause asthma patients to have worse wheezing, thereby aggravating their condition. If there are family members who are allergic to pollen, you should put fewer flowers or no flowers at all.

Plants suitable for indoor cultivation

Foliage plants such as spider plants, asparagus ferns, aloe vera, monstera, etc. can absorb toxic gases in the room and release oxygen, which is good for human health and suitable for indoor cultivation.

Plants That Don’t Need to Be Moved Indoors

Some plants do not need to be moved indoors because they are not afraid of cold, such as evergreen plants such as holly and African jasmine.

Plants that cannot be moved indoors

Plants with too strong smells, such as roses, lilacs, oleanders, and Euphorbia, are not suitable for indoor cultivation. Especially if the floral scent in the bedroom is too strong, it can easily cause symptoms such as insomnia and neurasthenia.
