Everyone knows that indoor plants purify the air and produce oxygen, so the opinion has become established in society that the more flowers there are in a room, the cleaner the air.
Not quite the right statement, especially when it comes to the bedroom. We will tell you how many flowers can be left here.
Lots of Plants in the Bedroom: Harm or Benefit
In this case, we have to talk about harm rather than benefit. But the flowers themselves need to be approached selectively.
1. The mistake is that plants produce oxygen through photosynthesis, which is impossible without sunlight. This means that flowers cannot affect the oxygen level in the room at night.
2. If the plant does not bring any benefit, it is important that it does not cause any harm. It is known that some species are poisonous, can provoke allergies, weakness, etc. And if we also take into account improper care, then fungal spores or mold can settle in the soil.
3. And the last important point. Some flowers themselves absorb oxygen at night. First of all, these are ferns and ficuses.
Allergies can be caused by lilies and hydrangeas, oleander, primroses and other aromatic plants. Monstera, for example, can even cause weakness and drowsiness.
What and how much to leave in the bedroom
The best night friends of flower growers are myrtle and chlorophytum, geranium, pelargonium and spathiphyllum, aloe vera, laurel, begonia and citrus. But this does not mean that they all need to be moved to the bedroom windowsill.
It is enough to leave from 3 to 7 flowerpots. The main thing is that the flowers themselves do not conflict with each other.
