The benefits of common indoor green plants

Dripping Guanyin

The weeping angel has the effect of clearing dust from the air. However, the white juice in the stem of the weeping angel is slightly poisonous. If you accidentally ingest it, it will cause mild discomfort in the throat and mouth, and a slight burning sensation in the stomach. Special attention should be paid to prevent young children from accidentally ingesting it. However, the weeping angel is not a carcinogenic plant.

African Jasmine

The volatile oils produced by African jasmine have significant antiseptic properties. It can make people relax, help sleep, and improve work efficiency.

White Anthurium

White calla lily can inhibit waste gases exhaled by the human body, such as ammonia and acetone. At the same time, it can also filter benzene, trichloroethylene and formaldehyde in the air. Its high evaporation rate can prevent the nasal mucosa from drying out, greatly reducing the possibility of illness.

Silver Queen

Silver Queen is known for its unique air purification capabilities. The higher the concentration of pollutants in the air, the better it can perform its purification ability! Therefore it is very suitable for dark rooms with poor ventilation.

Maidenhair fern

The maidenhair fern can absorb about 20 micrograms of formaldehyde per hour and is therefore considered the most effective biological "purifier". People who deal with paint and coatings all day, or who have people around them who like to smoke, should place at least one fern in their workplace. Additionally, it can inhibit the release of xylene and toluene from computer monitors and printers.

Schefflera

Schefflera can bring fresh air to smoking homes. The leaves can absorb nicotine and other harmful substances from the smoky air and convert them into harmless plant-specific substances through photosynthesis. In addition, it can reduce formaldehyde concentration by approximately 9 mg per hour.

Chlorophytum

Chlorophytum can carry out photosynthesis under weak light and absorb toxic and harmful gases in the air. A pot of Chlorophytum in a room of 8 to 10 square meters is equivalent to an air purifier. Generally, keeping 1 to 2 pots of spider plants in the room can release oxygen 24 hours a day and absorb formaldehyde, styrene and other carcinogens in the air. Chlorophytum has a particularly strong ability to absorb certain harmful substances, such as carbon monoxide and formaldehyde mixed in the air, which can reach 95% and 85% respectively. Chlorophytum can also decompose benzene and absorb relatively stable harmful substances such as nicotine in cigarette smoke. Therefore, spider plants are also known as green purifiers of indoor air.

Aloe Vera

Potted aloe vera is known as an air purification expert. A pot of aloe vera is equivalent to nine biological air purifiers, which can absorb harmful substances such as formaldehyde, carbon dioxide, and sulfur dioxide. Under 4 hours of light conditions, a pot of aloe vera can eliminate 90% of the formaldehyde in one square meter of air. It can also kill harmful microorganisms in the air and absorb dust, which plays a great role in purifying the living environment.

Monstera

Monstera's air purifying function is slightly weaker than that of Chlorophytum comosum. Aloe vera is a versatile air purifier, but Monstera is more effective in removing formaldehyde from the air. In addition, Monstera has the effect of absorbing carbon dioxide at night. In addition, Monstera generally has large plants, elegant shapes, and relatively sparse and beautiful leaves, so it is a very ideal indoor plant. The fruits of Monstera can be used for cooking after they are ripe.

ivy

Ivy is currently the most effective indoor plant for absorbing formaldehyde. Each square meter of ivy leaves can absorb 1.48 mg of formaldehyde. Ivy can also absorb toxic and harmful substances such as benzene. In a 10-square-meter room, you only need to place 2-3 pots of ivy to purify the air. It also absorbs fine dust particles.

Rubber Tree

The rubber tree is a versatile plant killer. It has a certain resistance to harmful gases in the air such as carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, hydrogen fluoride, etc. Rubber trees can also eliminate inhalable particulate matter pollution and effectively trap indoor dust.

asparagus

The plant fragrance contained in asparagus fern has antibacterial ingredients that can remove bacteria and viruses from the air and has health care functions. The smell released by asparagus fern has the power to kill bacteria and beneficial bacteria. In addition, asparagus fern has high medicinal value. Dig up its fleshy roots, wash off the dust and dirt, dry them for later use or use them fresh. The leaf-like branches are picked as needed and have the effects of relieving cough, moistening the lungs, cooling blood and detoxifying.

Bamboo

The function of the palm bamboo is similar to that of the Monstera deliciosa, and it can absorb more than 80% of various harmful gases and purify the air. At the same time, bamboo palm can eliminate heavy metal pollution and has a certain resistance to sulfur dioxide pollution.

Lucky Bamboo

Lucky bamboo can help improve the air quality in rooms where windows are not often opened for ventilation and has a disinfecting function, especially in bedrooms. Lucky bamboo can effectively absorb exhaust gas and improve the privacy environment of the bedroom.

Money Tree

The money tree is evergreen all year round and can absorb toxic gases and release oxygen through photosynthesis. It can absorb carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide pollution more effectively, and plays a certain role in resisting the waste gas produced by tobacco burning.

Pothos

Green radish can improve air quality and eliminate harmful substances. The green ivy has strong vitality and a strong ability to absorb harmful substances. It can help improve the air quality in rooms where windows are not often opened for ventilation. Green radish can also eliminate harmful substances such as formaldehyde.

cactus

Cactus has a strong anti-inflammatory and sterilization effect. When it comes to dealing with pollution, cactus is the best plant to reduce electromagnetic radiation. In addition, cactus absorbs carbon dioxide and releases oxygen at night. Placing a cactus in your room at night can replenish oxygen and help you sleep.

Clivia

An adult Clivia can absorb 1 liter of air in a day and release 80% of oxygen, and can also carry out photosynthesis under extremely weak light. It does not emit carbon dioxide at night. If you have two or three pots of Clivia in a room of more than ten square meters, they can absorb the smoke in the room. Especially in the cold winter in the north, because the doors and windows are closed and the indoor air is not circulating, Clivia will play a good role in regulating the air. Keep the indoor air fresh.
