What are the benefits of growing dianthus at home?

Purify the air

There is a proverb that goes, "Dianthus is a grass that has a strong iron content and can sweep away all poisonous gases," which means that Dianthus has the ability to absorb sulfur dioxide and chlorides. Through the stomata of its leaves and roots, dianthus can absorb many substances harmful to the human body. It can convert these substances into oxygen, sugar and various amino acids, which not only meets its own growth needs, but also creates a comfortable environment for people.

Sterilization

Everyone knows that alcohol can be used for disinfection, but dianthus also has this function. Dianthus itself emits a faint fragrance and can produce volatile oils, which have a significant bactericidal effect. This fragrance, in particular, has a certain resistance to bacteria that induce inflammation in the human body, such as Mycobacterium tuberculosis and Pneumococcus, and can inhibit their growth to a certain extent.

Adjust the atmosphere

Placing dianthus indoors can increase humidity to a certain extent and reduce the chances of family members catching colds. In addition, different varieties of dianthus have different functions. For example, carnations have large flowers and are more romantic and flirtatious. It can eliminate tension, calm anger, and balance hormones.
