1. Purify the air, isolate pollution, and improve air quality

As we all know, plants can purify the air by absorbing carbon dioxide in the air and emitting a large amount of oxygen. . Flowers are a type of plant and naturally have this function. According to measurements, if ten medium-sized flowers are placed in a standard room, the number of negative ions in the air can be 2 to 2.5 times the original amount. The increase in negative ions will make the air feel fresher, thereby purifying the air. Indoor flowers can not only absorb carbon dioxide in the air and emit a large amount of oxygen, but can also absorb and transform possible formaldehyde substances and nitrogen oxides, such as spider plants, aloe vera, narcissus, etc. In addition, planting flowers can block dust, effectively reduce the dust content in the air, isolate dust pollution, and prevent people from inhaling it when breathing. Orchids, osmanthus, and ivy all have these effects. Flowers can significantly improve air quality by absorbing harmful gases in the air and releasing oxygen, thus blocking atmospheric dust.

2. Isolate noise, adjust temperature and humidity, and avoid some diseases

Flowers are called natural "noise reducers". Lush flowers, plants and trees can absorb and block noise. According to scientific calculations, if there are patches of flowers indoors, the noise can be reduced to a minimum of 26 to 43 decibels, while trees on the roadside can reduce the noise by 8 to 10 decibels, which is significantly lower than the noise reduction effect of flowers. Flowers, plants and trees generally absorb the noise transmitted in the air through the pores and coarse hairs on their surfaces, which can block dust. In addition, flowers are natural "air conditioners" that can regulate the temperature and humidity in the air. This is why the country calls for afforestation in the context of global warming. In hot summer, green plants can lower the temperature by three to five degrees and can effectively insulate heat, while in cold winter, they can keep warm. Because flowers can dehumidify and regulate temperature, they can keep indoors dry and help people avoid arthritis, rheumatism and other diseases to a certain extent.

3. Fight bacteria, enhance immunity, and promote good health

When placed indoors, anthurium, rhododendron, and ivy can release some substances with bactericidal functions to help absorption Harmful toxins in indoor air then release substances and gases that are beneficial to human health through a cycle. Jasmine and clove, with their own fragrance, can quickly kill protozoa within five minutes, and the effect is remarkable, while lavender and rosemary can also effectively fight against harmful bacteria. In this way, by absorbing harmful bacteria and gases in the air and releasing beneficial gases, some people who are sensitive to air components can enhance their immunity, such as Boston chrysanthemum, which can also effectively remove some fungal spores in the air. If the spores are inhaled through breathing, they can cause coughing problems. Raising such flowers can reduce the occurrence of respiratory diseases and prevent infection by some fungi. In addition, people can also prevent and cure diseases and strengthen their health by smelling the fragrance of flowers and even growing flowers. For example, the fragrance of chrysanthemum can clear away heat and improve eyesight, and has a good effect on people suffering from viral colds; people suffering from neurasthenia and poor sleep quality can place lemons in front of the bed. The scent of lemon can calm the mind and promote sleep; tuberculosis patients can raise some flowers such as jasmine. The bactericidal substances released by osmanthus and jasmine are miraculous in eradicating tuberculosis.
