Why can't we keep凤尾竹 (Phoenix bamboo) at home?
Let me share with you why we can't keep 凤尾竹 at home and some related knowledge about the cultivation methods and precautions for 凤尾竹. Here is the detailed content to follow.
Recently, everywhere you look, there are messages about 凤尾竹, this so-called internet-famous green plant. Can it really produce oxygen and purify the indoor environment? In fact, any type of green plant can produce oxygen, and 凤尾竹 is no exception. However, I suggest that it's better not to keep 凤尾竹 at home.
Below, I'll introduce some pros and cons about 凤尾竹, with both the good and bad sides. First, let's understand some of the growth habits of 凤尾竹. It is a tropical plant that grows rapidly, with dense leaves and a short growth cycle. It renews itself quickly, about once a year, which makes it difficult to maintain at home.
凤凰竹 does have a nice decorative effect, with its entire plant being lush and green. As a tropical plant, it is quite rare to have at home. Currently, the price of a 凤尾竹 is around 50-70, quite affordable, so many friends will plant one pot indoors.
It looks good at home, but you have to think about how to take care of it later on. Also, 凤尾竹 has a large plant form, with even the smaller ones being about 1.6 meters tall. With dense leaves, if your home area is not more than 150 square meters, it's better not to keep this plant as it takes up a lot of living space.
Why can't we keep 凤尾竹 at home?
If you keep it for a long time, you may feel oppressed, which is actually caused by 凤尾竹. Many large green plants, such as large Monstera deliciosa and Spathiphyllum, can cause this situation when kept at home. If you have a small indoor space, don't keep such large green plants. It's better to spend 5 yuan to buy a pot of green pothos to place on the balcony.
Can 凤尾竹 really produce oxygen and purify the indoor environment?
It's true that 凤尾竹 produces oxygen, but it also consumes oxygen continuously during the care process, especially in winter when windows and doors are closed for a long time. The indoor air circulation is low, the oxygen content is low, and with the consumption of 凤尾竹, after a long time, you will feel very stuffy and the air feels unventilated.
The leaves of 凤尾竹 will absorb dust particles in the air, and after about a month, the leaves of 凤尾竹 will be covered with dust, which is difficult to clean. As a typical tropical plant, 凤尾竹 requires a higher level of moisture and temperature. In winter, without heating, it can easily die.
The branches of 凤尾竹 grow quickly and need to be pruned every year, which is also a troublesome issue. Although 凤尾竹 has a strong decorative effect and looks beautiful in the living room with a high ornamental value, it's better not to keep it if there's not enough space at home.
