Can I put Strelitaria in the bedroom?
Known as the "bird of paradise", Strelitaria litgarica has become a new favorite of home green plants because of its unique flower shape, but many flower lovers often struggle to put it in the bedroom. This article will analyze the three dimensions of plant characteristics, human health, and space adaptation, and take you scientifically planning the home layout of tropical green plants. The three core contradictions in the maintenance of Strelitaria litgarica bedrooms. Light needs conflict with the bedroom environment. As a typical tropical plant, Strelitaria litgarica needs 4-6 hours of direct light every day. Experimental data shows that the light intensity attenuates by 70% at 1.5 meters away from the window, making it difficult for ordinary bedrooms to meet their growth needs. If placed in a low light environment for a long time, the plant will show decline such as thinning leaves and dull color. Nasa research shows that the daytime purification efficiency of Strelitaria litgarica reaches 0.8μmol/m²/s, but it releases 0.3 m ³/h of CO ˇ at night. When the 10㎡ bedroom is closed for 8 hours, the CO ˇ concentration will increase by 200-300ppm, and sensitive people may experience sleep quality problems. The proportion of plant size and space is out of proportion to adult Strelitaria litgarica can reach 1.2-1.5 meters. According to the golden proportion of indoor greening (plant area ≤ 10% of the space), the bedroom area needs to be>12㎡ to be suitable for placement. Actual cases show that after 80% of families have large green plants placed in the master bedroom, the activity space has been reduced by 25%. Compromise maintenance plan for special circumstances For growers who are obsessed with bedroom placement, the following combination is recommended: select seedlings with a height of less than 80cm, supplement light with a full-spectrum plant lamp for 4 hours a day, and install a CO ˇ monitor. Measured data shows that this scheme can increase the plant survival rate to 85%, but the flowering rate is still lower than 40% for balcony maintenance.
On the whole, a south-facing balcony or a living room bay window is more suitable for the growth of Streectinaria. It is recommended to choose CAM metabolic plants such as sagoseria and ivy for green plants in the bedroom, which can not only release oxygen at night, but also maintain a balance between space beauty and health.
