What kind of indoor plants can you keep in your bedroom or nursery?
Your sleep, well-being and, finally, family relationships depend on the atmosphere in the bedroom. You can not place poisonous representatives in the bedroom - those that throw toxic spores into the air or provoke allergies.
Opt for chlorophytum, laurel, potted rosemary or lavender.
Purifies the air, releases oxygen from geraniums, camellias, spathiphyllum, begonia, Kalanchoe, aloe, uzambara violets. These bedroom houseplants are really capable of relieving stress after working day, remove insomnia, calm the nervous system.
But monsters, ferns, ficuses, strong-smelling lilies, gardenias, oleanders should not be settled where you sleep.
It is also not recommended to have too many flower pots in one room - all kinds of fungi grow faster in a humid environment (soil).
If people suffer from asthma or allergies, then, of course, it is better not to place flowers in the bedroom at all.
Indoor plants for a children's room are the same phytoncides that emit useful components that purify the air, have a detrimental effect on bacteria and viruses. For a nursery, it is better to choose unpretentious flowers that are resistant to "injuries" (breaking off leaves, breaking stems). Children, as you know, are still fidgets, so some kind of difficult or moody flower is unlikely to take root if it becomes the object of close attention of young researchers.
For a children's room, hibiscus, lemon, myrtle, chlorophyllum, tangerine, balsam, hippeastrum, eucalyptus, phalaenopsis are perfect. These green inhabitants perfectly clean the air, produce oxygen, fight toxins, and all kinds of bacteria.
