Today, the editor will explain the topic of home decoration. What kind of flowers are suitable for keeping in the office? Let's follow the editor to see the specific content!
With the popularization of office automation, the use of devices such as printers and copiers, combined with carpets, wallpapers, adhesives, etc., have polluted the indoor air to varying degrees. To effectively control office pollution, in addition to strengthening ventilation, the simplest and most effective method is to place potted plants, because green plants are the "吞噬者" of harmful substances in the office.
The pollutants in the office can be absorbed into the plant body through the micropores on the back of the ornamental plant leaves, and the microorganisms symbiotic with the roots of the flowers can also automatically decompose pollutants and absorb them through the roots.
In order to effectively remove various pollutants in the office, it is recommended to place different types of flowering plants simultaneously, with at least 1 to 2 pollution-controlling plants for every 10 square meters. Ornamental plants suitable for planting in the office include:
Chlorophytum comosum, African daisy, and flowering birch: mainly absorb formaldehyde, can also decompose benzene emitted by copiers and printers, and can swallow nicotine.
Bird's-nest fern, English ivy, cycas revoluta, and chrysanthemum: can decompose three harmful substances, namely formaldehyde found in carpets, insulating materials, and plywood, xylene harmful to the kidneys hidden in wallpaper and printing ink solvents, and toluene found in dyes and detergents.
Rhododendron: can absorb xylene, toluene, and ammonia found in chemical fibers, solvents, and paint.
Dracaena (Brazilian ironwood), daisy, and evergreen: can remove trichloroethylene from copiers, laser printers, and found in detergents and adhesives.
At the same time, note that some flowering plants are not suitable for keeping in office living spaces.
Flowers to be cautious about keeping in living spaces
Oleander: The scent emitted by the flowers of oleander can cause drowsiness if inhaled for too long. The milky white liquid secreted by it can cause poisoning if touched for too long or in large amounts, and if ingested, it can be life-threatening.
Poinsettia: Poinsettia contains a toxin in its stems and leaves, and its white sap can cause skin redness and swelling and should not be ingested.
Cloves, night-blooming cereus: Cloves and night-blooming cereus consume a lot of oxygen during respiration, causing a decrease in indoor oxygen levels, which can make hypertensive and heart patients feel uncomfortable. The strong fragrance of cloves and night-blooming cereus can cause a stuffy nose, so they are not suitable for placement in living spaces, but if planted in the courtyard, the effect is better.
