In spring, let's learn to grow flowers together

Doctor Wen's tips on growing flowers

lily

Zhen Huan: I just heard that everyone is discussing what flowers to grow in the spring. As the weather has been nice recently, I also want to find some flowers and plants. I think lilies are good, with a refreshing fragrance and excellent meaning. What do you think?

Doctor Wen: Your Majesty, it is almost the Waking of Insects now. The weather is getting warmer and spring thunder is beginning to sound. It is a good time to grow flowers. But please forgive me for daring to say this: I heard that the strong fragrance of lilies can make people overly excited and cause insomnia, so they really should not be kept in the bedroom!

Narcissus

Zhen Huan: It is a wonder that flowers bloom with the help of water, the water becomes bones and jade becomes skin. The subtle fragrance has overwhelmed the plum blossoms, and only the winter plum has no good branches.

Aunt Jingxi: My lady, you have great literary talent. I heard that daffodils require a simple life. Suitable sunlight and temperature, and a basin of simple water are enough to nourish them throughout their lives.

Doctor Wen: Your Majesty, you don't know that daffodils are beautiful and elegant, but their heads contain lacotine, which is a poisonous substance. The flowers, branches, and leaves of daffodils are all poisonous. Poisoning will cause vomiting and abdominal pain. The fragrant aroma of daffodils can also cause discomfort to the nervous system. Over time, especially when inhaling the fragrance before sleeping, people will feel dizzy. I think that although daffodils are beautiful, they do not represent health. You should be cautious when raising them at home.

Hydrangea

Huanbi: In this palace, only those who are useful can survive. I think no matter how good the daffodils are, they cannot be kept in the bedroom. You might as well just grow a pot of hydrangea. When I heard this, I smelled a faint smell of stench. According to what Doctor Wen said just now, fragrant flowers such as lilies and daffodils cannot be placed in the bedroom, but hydrangeas can be placed in the bedroom, right?

Doctor Wen: This is wrong. The particles emitted by hydrangeas (including hydrangea and geranium, etc.) can cause skin allergies and itching if they come into contact with people. It also has the side effect of disrupting hormones. It is especially harmful if there are pregnant women at home. Therefore, I think it is better not to bring hydrangeas home easily.

Tuberose

Prince Guo: Huan'er, do you still remember that morning glory? People say that this flower is humble and only blooms in corners. It blooms in the evening and withers in the morning. No one appreciates it, so it is called the evening primrose. Because its flowering period is short and humble, it is also called the flower of ill-fated life, implying that beautiful women are doomed to a tragic fate. In fact, there is another kind of flower that can also be called evening glory. Isn’t the flower of tuberose that blooms in the evening facing the setting sun also called evening primrose?

Doctor Wen: Your Highness, you don’t know that although tuberose is beautiful, it is not worthy of its reputation. At night, it emits a large amount of olfactory stimulating particles. If you smell it for too long, patients with hypertension and heart disease will feel dizzy, depressed and uncomfortable, and their condition may even worsen. Tuberose has safety hazards, so it should not be placed in the bedroom.

Rose

Concubine Duan: I heard on the forum that someone compared me to a "rose", which is quite apt. Roses are creatures from heaven, and their color remains the same throughout the four seasons. Poor thing, it falls in the west wind, and only a few red dots are left on the cold branches. Doctor Wen, could you please let me grow some roses?

Doctor Wen: Your Majesty, you may not know that roses are beautiful and have a long flowering period, and are very popular. However, if roses are kept indoors for a long time, the smell they emit can cause some people to suffer from shortness of breath and irritation. I think it is best to move them outside the bedroom.

Oleander

An Lingrong: Sisters, please don't blame me. No matter how deep the friendship between sisters is, grudges will arise if you are not careful. Those people say that I am like oleander, but that's all. My weak branches can be broken, and my tender feelings want to be expressed. The layers of pale shadows are sparse, and the wind is like a shower. The scenery of Nara is ordinary but no one notices it. The Queen sent a pot of oleander two days ago...

Doctor Wen: Your Majesty, please do not belittle yourself. However, I still want to say one more thing. The fragrance of oleander flowers can make people drowsy and reduce their intelligence. The whole plant of oleander is poisonous and contains a variety of cardiac glycosides. It is a highly toxic substance and is extremely harmful to the human respiratory and digestive systems. Contact with the latex secreted by it can easily cause poisoning. Nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea after poisoning can be fatal. Therefore, oleander must not be placed in the bedroom.

tulip

Zhen Huan: "The Legend of Zhen Huan" has been broadcast in the United States. It would be great to grow a few pots of tulips. It is known as the "Queen of Flowers in the World" and has become a popular symbol representing fashion and internationalization.

Doctor Wen: Your Majesty, although tulips are dignified, elegant in appearance, and colorful and gorgeous, their flowers contain a toxin. If people and animals stay among these flowers for 2 to 3 hours, they will become dizzy and show symptoms of poisoning. In severe cases, they may even lose hair. Therefore, it is best not to keep them at home. If you grow flowers in bunches, make sure to keep the room ventilated.

Poinsettia

Hua Fei: You bitch are just pretentious. The poinsettia I have is still the best. According to legend, this kind of flower once grew in the south of Mexico City in America in ancient times.

Songzhi: Your Majesty is right, the poinsettia has bright colors, which can better highlight the majesty’s elegance!

Doctor Wen: Poinsettia is a flower with both color and appearance, but I think it should never be placed indoors because it releases toxic substances that are harmful to the human body. The white latex secreted by its stems and leaves is also poisonous. Once it comes into contact with the skin, it will cause allergic symptoms, ranging from redness and swelling to ulceration. Ingestion of the stems and leaves can cause vomiting, abdominal pain, and can even be fatal. Therefore, it is best not to grow poinsettias, especially if you have children at home.

Hua Fei: Wen Shichu! ! ! You are so brave. You can't keep this, and you can't keep that. Tell me what can be kept in the bedroom. If you tell me well, I will spare your life!

Doctor Wen: Your Majesty, I do have a few kinds of flowers to recommend to you!

Aloe Vera

Planting aloe vera in a pot at home can not only beautify your room, but also allow you to pick the freshest aloe vera leaves at any time for family health care use. Some people say that planting a few pots of aloe vera at home is like having a permanent "personal doctor". Whether aloe vera is used as medicine to treat diseases or for beauty and skin care, only fresh aloe vera can achieve the best effect. Aloe vera has extremely high ornamental value.

Aloe vera can effectively remove formaldehyde from the air. Planting a few aloe vera plants is equivalent to installing several "biological air purifiers" at home. When harmful gases in the air, such as carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, sulfur dioxide, and formaldehyde, remain at a high level for a long time, and aloe vera is unable to completely remove and absorb them, spots will appear on the leaves, alerting you to take appropriate measures quickly to avoid the harm of harmful gases to human health.

Chlorophytum

It has strong adaptability, is relatively drought-resistant and cold-resistant, prefers warm and humid environments, and is suitable for growing in loose, fertile and well-drained soil. Chlorophytum is one of the most traditional hanging plants in the home. Its leaves are slender and soft, and small plants grow on thick stems growing from the leaf axils. They hang down from the edge of the pot, stretching and drooping like flowers, and are evergreen all the year round. It is both hard and soft, and its shape resembles a crane spreading its wings and jumping, so it was called "Zhehe Orchid" in ancient times.

Chlorophytum is not only an excellent hanging foliage plant in the room, but also a good indoor air purifier flower. Chlorophytum has a very strong ability to absorb toxic gases and can purify toxic gases such as carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, formaldehyde, etc. Generally, if you keep 1-2 pots of spider plants in a room, they can absorb all the toxic gases in the air, so spider plants are also known as "green purifiers".
