When you think of home greenery, what's the first thing that comes to mind? A fortune tree that the elders love to plant? A rose in need of careful care? Or is it a succulent that is very cute but extremely difficult to feed?
NO NO NO！ Last time we just said that health needs to be broken, natural home green plants also have to do subtraction, strange and not easy to collide, occupy a small space but have a sense of existence, is the "justice" of the new green plants.
In the past two years, everyone's attention to physical and mental health has increased, and more people have spent time working from home, which seems to be a more comfortable and effortless choice than investing in expensive furniture. And, the benefits of growing greenery may be more than you know:
Regulates the ratio of carbon to oxygen in the air and absorbs volatile organic compounds
Increases the concentration of negative ions in the air
Form a "green space" that slows down the physiological fatigue of the eyes, thereby improving attention and even improving memory and work productivity
The most important point, of course, is to make people feel happy, enjoy the "calming effect" brought by nature under the comfortable space and deeper breathing effect.
So, what kind of green plants are you suitable for? For people who often work from home, you can choose to take care of varieties that do not require effort and can "maximize benefits", such as those that need plenty of light, more photosynthesis and grow more rapidly, such as hanging orchids, turtle back bamboo and so on.
If you want to create a green atmosphere in your home, you can choose a more "novice-friendly" plant:
Indoor small bonsai:
Tiger Piran
Tiger Piran has the title of "air purifier", which can absorb harmful gases in the air, and the leaves grow upwards in a streamlined shape, with both function and appearance.
Tiger Piran is adaptable and drought-tolerant, and does not need to be watered frequently, about 2 to 3 weeks, avoiding wet places.
Large bonsai in the room:
Turtle back bamboo
Native to tropical rainforests, the leaves are large and emerald green, and they will also produce cave-like lobes over time, placed in the corner, and the space is immediately full of tropical style. However, because the turtle back bamboo will grow faster outward, it is necessary to leave enough space.
Turtle back bamboo likes a high temperature, humidity environment, but to avoid direct sunlight, otherwise the leaves may turn yellow, need extra care is, usually with a damp cloth to wipe the leaf surface and leaf back, so as not to accumulate too much dust.
If you want plants that are not easy to beat but are easy to feed, palm plants are especially recommended, and if you want to spend time, start with seeds or start with small tabletop pots. However, although some plants are drought tolerant and have strong vitality, they also need suitable light, and light hungry plants are more susceptible to diseases and insects.
With the blessing of greenery, I feel full of life, and even my fitness is motivated!
