What flowers have the best effect on removing formaldehyde
Formaldehyde pollution problems have plagued countless families after the decoration of new houses, and how to choose safe and efficient purification plants has become the key. Through authoritative experimental data and botanical characteristics analysis, this article reveals the list of green plants that have both formaldehyde purification capabilities and convenience in maintenance. Champion in the rankings for the efficacy of formaldehyde purification plants: spider orchid (formaldehyde nemesis) NASA clean air research shows that the formaldehyde absorption by individual spider orchid plants reaches 1.2mg/24h. Its unique photosynthesis mechanism can decompose formaldehyde into amino acids and sugars. In conjunction with the developed hanging air root system, it can absorb 92% of volatile pollutants in the space. It is recommended to place 3 pots every 10㎡ to form a purification matrix. Runner-up: The metabolic characteristics of CAM allow Tiger Orchid to continuously release negative ions at night, and the formaldehyde purification efficiency reaches 0.86mg/m³. It is especially suitable for bedroom environments. With the phytocide it releases, it can simultaneously eliminate pathogens such as Escherichia coli. Water only needs to be watered twice a month and is extremely resistant to shade. Runner-up: Green radish (air purifier) with a pore density of 300/mm², has a adsorption rate of benzene derivatives 2.3 times higher than Ivy League. Hydroponics plants have a formaldehyde removal rate of 89%. It is recommended to use it with activated carbon pots. Be careful to avoid direct sunlight and keep the substrate moist. Recommended list of auxiliary purification plants: The waxy layer of ivy (benzene buster) leaves can effectively capture PM2.5, and the phenol purification efficiency reaches 91%. It is recommended to hang it on the top of the bookcase to form a three-dimensional purification layer. In winter, the ambient temperature needs to be maintained above 15℃. The broad-leaved characteristics of turtle back bamboo (Guardian of Large Space) allow a purification range of 5-8㎡ per plant, which is especially suitable for placing in the living room. Its carbon dioxide absorption at night is 6 times that of green radish, and the effect is better when used with spider plant. The scientific purification plan recommends a "3+2" combination: 3 pots of main purification plants (spider plant/tiger lily/green radish)+2 pots of auxiliary plants (ivy/turtle bamboo). Combined with 4 hours of ventilation a day, the formaldehyde concentration can be reduced by 67%. Regularly wiping the leaves with a damp cloth can increase the purification efficiency by 20%.
