Placing some anti-pollution flowers and plants indoors can purify the air. For example, ivy can "eat" benzene, spider plants can "swallow" indoor carbon monoxide and formaldehyde, and aroid bracts can absorb benzene and trichlorethylene. If there is an anti-pollution plant in a room of about 10 square meters, it will greatly benefit air purification.
In modern houses built with reinforced concrete prefabricated panels, the air humidity is much lower than normal standards, and a plant called sedge loves water, so potted sedge should be placed in a deep sink. Can turn "desert" into "oasis". The reason for feeling suffocated is not the lack of oxygen in the room, but the extreme lack of negative oxygen ions. When a TV or computer is turned on indoors, negative oxygen ions will decrease rapidly. There are many flowers and plants that can be grown indoors that can produce negative oxygen ions - these are cypress, arborvitae and cedar.

If some potted citrus, rosemary, myrtle, spider plant, etc. are placed in the room, bacteria and microorganisms in the air will be greatly reduced.
Some of the flowers and plants introduced above are relatively easy to grow. They can usually be found in flower markets and are relatively cheap. Therefore, they are very suitable for family cultivation.
Can absorb poisonous plants. Aloe vera, spider plant, Sansevieria, orchid, and monstera are natural scavengers that can remove harmful substances in the air. Studies have shown that Sansevieria and Chlorophytum can absorb more than 80% of indoor harmful gases, and have a strong ability to absorb formaldehyde. Aloe vera is also good at absorbing formaldehyde
In addition, plants that can purify the air also include:
Kidney fern, Guanzhong, rose, rose, crape myrtle, lilac, magnolia, osmanthus, goldenrod Pothos, aloe vera, commelder grass, ear fern, cactus, tiger orchid, tiger tail orchid, agave, pineapple, prickly pear, arrow lotus, epiphyllum, gem flower, fat sedum, purple sedum, ivy, iron tree, chrysanthemum, Red stork flower, pomegranate flower, Milan, dracaena, angelica flower, etc.
·Radiation-resistant ornamental plants
Some ornamental plants have the function of absorbing electromagnetic radiation. Placing these plants in the home or office can effectively reduce the radiation generated by various electrical and electronic products. of electromagnetic radiation pollution. These plants include: cacti, gem flowers, sedums and other succulents.
·Insect-repellent and sterilizing ornamental plants
Some plants have special aromas or odors that are harmless to humans, but mosquitoes, cockroaches, flies and other pests will stay away if they smell them. Of. Some of these special aromas or odors can also inhibit or kill bacteria and viruses. These plants include:
