Houseplants not only add coziness to your home, but they also absorb carbon dioxide, releasing oxygen instead. But flowers can pose a serious danger.
Indoor plants should be chosen responsibly, especially if you decide to decorate a child's room.
A conscious approach to gardening in a children's room
Before placing a plant in a child's room, you should carefully study its characteristics and chemical composition. You should not place even relatively safe flowers in a small child's room.
When the child reaches 10 years old, you can put unpretentious plants in his room, having previously explained safety precautions - do not tear off leaves, do not eat flowers. At this age, the child will be able to live with ferns, cacti without thorns (there are types of cacti whose thorns are transformed into something like fluff). You can put aloe on the windowsill.
The plant is medicinal and bitter in taste. Firstly, the child will not want to eat it, and secondly, it is not capable of causing harm to health. Its thorns are not dangerous, but you definitely won’t want to touch aloe once again.
You can also put chlorophytum, kalanchoe, Decembrist, violet, begonia, asparagus in the nursery. These plants are not capable of causing harm to health, unless there is an individual intolerance.
A child's room of any age can be decorated with edible plants, such as herbs used in the kitchen or other greens that can be added to salads. Plus, such herbs grow quickly, so the child can watch the sprouts and development of plants, which is useful for broadening the horizons. Nasturtium, pansies, or lobelia are pleasing to the eye, but will not cause harm if chewed.
