What plants can absorb formaldehyde?
Do you know these? Tips on what plants can absorb formaldehyde, as well as a list of plants that adsorb formaldehyde, can definitely help you. Let's learn about them together!
1. Plants that adsorb formaldehyde include: Gardenia, Agave, Gerbera, English Ivy, Strelitzia, Schefflera, Rubber Plant, Cattleya, and Cyclamen.
2. Gardenia, native to China, prefers a warm and humid environment with plenty of sunlight, is somewhat cold-resistant, can tolerate semi-shade, fears waterlogging, and requires loose, fertile, and acidic sandy loam soil. It is evergreen, with fragrant and elegant flowers, green leaves and white flowers, making it particularly charming. It is suitable for arrangement in front of steps, beside ponds, and along roads, and can also be used as hedges or potted plants for ornamental purposes. The flowers can also be used for flower arrangement and wearing as decorations.
3. Agave, a plant of the Amaryllidaceae family, has leaves that can be harvested throughout the year. They should be washed, used fresh, or boiled and dried after sunning. It is commonly cultivated in the south and southwest of China, and has been naturalized in Yunnan for many years, originally from tropical America.
4. Gerbera, also known as African daisy, belongs to the Compositae family and is a perennial, hairy herb. It has a short rhizome surrounded by residual leaf stalks and possesses relatively thick fibrous roots. It prefers a warm, ventilated environment with plenty of sunlight. The flowers come in a variety of colors, including red, white, yellow, orange, and purple, and are large and colorful.
5. English Ivy, also known as Common Ivy or Foreign Ivy, is an evergreen shrub of the Araliaceae family. It thrives at temperatures of 18-20°C, and the leaves will turn yellow and growth will stop when the temperature exceeds 35°C. Therefore, during hot summers, it should be shaded or placed in a semi-shaded area to avoid direct sunlight.
6. Strelitzia, a subtropical long-day plant, prefers a warm, humid environment with plenty of sunlight, dislikes severe cold, intense heat, drought, and waterlogging. It requires well-drained, loose, and fertile sandy loam soil with a pH value of 6-7. The optimal growing temperature is 20-28°C.
7. Schefflera, which enjoys moisture and dislikes dryness, grows vigorously when there is high air humidity and sufficient soil moisture. However, excessive water can cause waterlogging and lead to root rot. If the potting soil lacks water or is alternately wet and dry for a long time, it will cause leaf drop. Schefflera has a certain adaptability to temporary drought and dry air.
8. The Happy Tree prefers a warm environment, with an optimal growth temperature of 20-28°C, 20-21°C during the day, and 18-19°C at night. During the severe heat of summer, when the ambient temperature exceeds 28°C, it should be moved to a shaded and cool place. During the winter, it should be moved to a warm room to ensure that the room temperature does not drop below 8°C, allowing it to survive the winter safely.
