Every parent cares about their own child and does everything to make him happy and healthy.

Therefore, it is worth considering 6 indoor plants that are ideal for a child’s room, as they improve the microclimate.

Aloe

Aloe is an unpretentious houseplant that many people refuse. Of course, if we talk about the appearance of aloe, then not very pleasant associations arise here. But why pay attention only to the appearance, ignoring the benefits of this plant?

Aloe leaves are able to absorb:

  • benzenes;
  • formaldehyde and other chemicals.

The flower strengthens the immune system and improves physical abilities. And if we recall folk medicine, aloe is often used as a remedy for colds and skin diseases.

Kalanchoe

Many people are biased towards Kalanchoe, but in vain. This plant has many varieties and species. If desired, you can choose a flower that will fit perfectly into the interior. The flower emits oxygen around the clock, which makes it one of the most useful for a child's room. People call it a "green orderly". Based on the name, you can understand why it is so popular.

Begonia

Begonia is a delicate and beautiful flower that can be called universal. Begonia leaves perfectly filter the air.

The most interesting thing is that begonia secretes special esters that kill bacteria and purify the air in the room. Another useful property is that begonia can neutralize harmful chemical compounds.

Lemon tree

There are legends about the benefits of the lemon tree. We can recall several useful properties of this plant.

  1. The leaves produce esters that kill microbes.
  2. Lemon tree provides prevention against various colds.
  3. The plant produces a strong aroma that repels small insects. A simple example: in the summer, a lemon tree will protect a child from mosquitoes and other annoying insects.

A lemon tree can be grown even from a seed, so it makes sense to involve your child in the process. And as you know, if the flower is grown with your own hands, then the attitude towards it will be appropriate.

Chlorophytum

Chlorophytum is called the "air cleaner". The leaves of this plant absorb:

  • formaldehydes;
  • benzene;
  • dust and other harmful impurities.

The most interesting thing is that this flower requires minimal care, so it can be safely chosen for a child’s room.

Pereromiya

Peperomia fills the room with oxygen and has a preventive effect during various diseases.
Some experts note that pereromia can absorb harmful radiation from electrical appliances.
