The powerful effects of common indoor green plants

1. Dripping Guanyin

It has the effect of removing dust from the air. (Warm Tips: The white juice in the stem of the weeping angel is slightly toxic. If you accidentally ingest the juice, it will cause mild discomfort in the throat and mouth, and a slight burning sensation in the stomach. Special care should be taken to prevent young children from accidentally ingesting it. However, the weeping angel is not a carcinogenic plant.)

2. African Jasmine

The volatile oils produced have significant bactericidal effects. It can make people relax, help sleep, and improve work efficiency.

3. White Anthurium

It inhibits 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.

4. Silver Queen

Known for its unique air purification ability: the higher the concentration of pollutants in the air, the more it can exert its purification ability! Therefore it is very suitable for dark rooms with poor ventilation.

5. Maidenhair fern

It 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.

6. Schefflera

Bring fresh air to smoking families. 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.

7. Chlorophytum

It can absorb 95% of carbon monoxide and 85% of formaldehyde in the air.

Chlorophytum can photosynthesize 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, 1 to 2 pots of Chlorophytum are kept in the room, which can release oxygen for 24 hours and absorb carcinogens such as formaldehyde, styrene, carbon monoxide, and carbon dioxide in the air. Chlorophytum has a particularly strong absorption capacity for certain harmful substances. For example, the carbon monoxide and formaldehyde mixed in the air can reach 95% and 85% respectively. Chlorophytum can also decompose benzene and absorb nicotine and other relatively stable harmful substances in cigarette smoke. Therefore, Chlorophytum is also called a green purifier for indoor air.

8. Aloe Vera

One pot of aloe vera is equivalent to nine biological air cleaners

Potted aloe vera is known as an air purification expert. One pot of aloe vera is equivalent to nine biological air cleaners, which can absorb harmful substances such as formaldehyde, carbon dioxide, sulfur dioxide, carbon monoxide, etc. It is particularly strong in absorbing formaldehyde. Under 4 hours of light conditions, one pot of aloe vera can eliminate 90% of the formaldehyde in one square meter of air, kill harmful microorganisms in the air, and absorb dust, which plays a great role in purifying the indoor environment. When the harmful air in the room is too high, spots will appear on the leaves of aloe vera. This is a signal for help. As long as a few more pots of aloe vera are added indoors, the indoor air quality will return to normal.

9. Monstera

Absorbs carbon dioxide at night to improve air quality

The air purification function of Monstera is slightly weaker. It is not like Chlorophytum. Aloe vera is a generalist in air purification. But Monstera is more effective in removing formaldehyde in the air. In addition, Monstera has the effect of absorbing carbon dioxide at night. It is very helpful to improve indoor air quality and increase oxygen content. In addition, Monstera generally has large plants and elegant shapes. The leaves are relatively sparse and beautiful. Therefore, it is a very ideal indoor plant. The fruits of Monstera can be used for cooking after they are ripe. The fragrance is like pineapple or banana.

10. Ivy

The champion in absorbing formaldehyde.

Ivy is currently the most effective indoor plant for absorbing formaldehyde. Each square meter of ivy leaves can absorb 1.48 mg of formaldehyde. The total area of ​​leaves of two pots of mature ivy is about 0.78 square meters. At the same time, ivy can also absorb toxic and harmful substances such as benzene. Under 24-hour lighting conditions, it can absorb 90% of indoor benzene. According to speculation, a 10-square-meter room only needs 2-3 pots of ivy to purify the air. It can also absorb particulate dust.

11. Rubber Tree

All-rounder for eliminating harmful substances

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, and hydrogen fluoride. The rubber tree can also eliminate inhalable particulate pollution and effectively trap indoor dust.

12. Asparagus fern

Protective umbrella against bacteria and viruses

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

13. Bamboo

Eliminate heavy metal pollution and carbon dioxide

The function of bamboo palm is similar to that of Monstera deliciosa. As a large-leaf ornamental plant, bamboo palm 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. Of course, as a foliage plant with large leaves, their biggest feature is that they have the function of digesting carbon dioxide and producing oxygen that ordinary plants cannot achieve.

14. Lucky Bamboo

Healthy plants for the bedroom

Lucky bamboo can help improve the air quality in rooms that are not often ventilated, and has a disinfection function, especially in bedrooms. Lucky bamboo can effectively absorb exhaust gas and improve the private environment of the bedroom.

15. Fortune Tree

Fight against exhaust gas produced by tobacco burning.

The fortune tree is evergreen all year round and can absorb toxic gases and release oxygen through photosynthesis. It can effectively absorb carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide pollution and has a certain effect on resisting the waste gas produced by tobacco burning.

16. Pothos

Improve air quality and eliminate harmful substances. The vitality of the green radish is very strong, and its ability to absorb harmful substances is also very strong. It can help improve the air quality in rooms that are not often ventilated. The green radish can also eliminate harmful substances such as formaldehyde, and its function is no less than that of ivy and spider plants.

17. Cactus

Best Plants for Reducing Electromagnetic Radiation

Cactus has a strong anti-inflammatory and sterilizing 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 the room at night can replenish oxygen and help you sleep.

18. Clivia

Release oxygen, absorb smoke freshener

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. Two or three pots of Clivia in a room of more than ten square meters can absorb the indoor smoke. 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 and keeping the indoor air fresh.
