Formaldehyde can induce leukemia in children, but this plant can definitely cure it!

Now that our quality of life has improved and living conditions have become better, many of us like to grow some of our favorite flowers in our homes or on our desks. This can cultivate our sentiments and relieve stress. However, there are many things to pay attention to when growing flowers. For example, what kind of flowers can make you live longer? Which flowers cannot be grown? Does everyone know these? Let me introduce them to you below.

1. African Jasmine

Many people may not have heard of the name African jasmine, but it is also a common flower. It has a very good bactericidal effect, mainly because of the volatile oils it produces. At the same time, African jasmine can also make us relax, help sleep, and improve work results, so everyone should grow some on their desks.

2. Clivia

An adult Clivia can absorb 1 liter of air in a day and release 80% of oxygen, and can carry out photosynthesis even under extremely weak light. It does not emit carbon dioxide at night. In a room of more than ten square meters, two or three pots of Clivia can absorb the indoor smoke. Especially in the cold winter in the north, because the doors and windows are closed and the indoor air is not circulated, Clivia will play a good role in regulating the air and keeping the indoor air fresh.

3. White Anthurium

Inhibits waste gases exhaled by the human body, such as ammonia and acetone. At the same time, it can also filter benzene, trichloroethylene and formaldehyde in the air. Its high evaporation rate can prevent the nasal mucosa from drying out, greatly reducing the possibility of illness.

4. Silver Queen

Silver Queen is known for its air purifying ability. The higher the concentration of pollutants in the air, the stronger its purification effect will be, so it is very suitable to be kept in a dark room with poor ventilation conditions.

5. Maidenhair fern

It can absorb about 20 micrograms of formaldehyde per hour and is therefore considered the most effective biological "purifier". People who deal with paint and coatings all day, or who have people around them who like to smoke, should place at least one fern in their workplace. Additionally, it can inhibit the release of xylene and toluene from computer monitors and printers.

6. Schefflera

Bring fresh air to smoking families. The leaves can absorb nicotine and other harmful substances from the smoky air and convert them into harmless plant-specific substances through photosynthesis. In addition, it can reduce formaldehyde concentration by approximately 9 mg per hour.

7. Chlorophytum

It can absorb 95% of carbon monoxide and 85% of formaldehyde in the air. Chlorophytum can carry out photosynthesis under weak light and absorb toxic and harmful gases in the air. A pot of Chlorophytum in a room of 8 to 10 square meters is equivalent to an air purifier. Generally, keeping 1 to 2 pots of spider plants in the room can release oxygen 24 hours a day and absorb carcinogens such as formaldehyde, styrene, carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, etc. in the air. Chlorophytum has a particularly strong ability to absorb certain harmful substances, such as carbon monoxide and formaldehyde mixed in the air, which can reach 95% and 85% respectively.

At the same time, spider plants can decompose benzene and absorb some very stable harmful substances such as nicotine in cigarette smoke. Therefore, spider plants are also called green purifiers for indoor air.

8. Aloe Vera

One pot of aloe vera is equivalent to nine biological air cleaners. Potted aloe vera is known as an air purification expert. A pot of aloe vera is equivalent to nine biological air purifiers. It can absorb harmful substances such as formaldehyde, carbon dioxide, sulfur dioxide, carbon monoxide, etc., especially formaldehyde. Under 4 hours of light conditions, a pot of aloe vera can eliminate 90% of the formaldehyde in one square meter of air, kill harmful microorganisms in the air, and absorb dust, which plays a great role in purifying the living environment. When the indoor harmful air is too high, spots will appear on the leaves of aloe vera. This is a signal for help. As long as you add a few more pots of aloe vera indoors, the indoor air quality will return to normal.

9. Monstera

Absorbs carbon dioxide at night and improves air quality. The air purifying function of Monstera is slightly weaker. It is not as versatile as Chlorophytum and Aloe Vera, which are good at purifying the air. However, Monstera is more effective in removing formaldehyde from the air. In addition, Monstera absorbs carbon dioxide at night, which is very helpful in improving indoor air quality and increasing oxygen content. In addition, Monstera is generally larger in size, elegant in shape, and has relatively sparse and beautiful leaves, so it is an ideal indoor plant. The fruits of Monstera can be used in cooking when they are ripe, and their fragrance is like pineapple or banana.
