    "Boss, what's the best way to clean the air?" "How much is this green pineapple?" "Do Chlorophytum and ivy absorb formaldehyde? I want to buy a pot." These days, the owner of Spring Gardening in Wushan flower and bird city is very busy "In recent days, many people have come to buy formaldehyde absorbing and air purifying plants, which can sell more than 30 pots every day Some are newly decorated houses, some are to match the flowers and grass at home " Boss Wu told reporters Hangzhou is hot and rainy in summer, which is very sultry The food is extremely perishable and gives off a bad smell In general, the newly decorated houses, the chemicals in furniture, home appliances and building materials will slowly emit formaldehyde, benzene, hydrogen sulfide and other harmful gases Some plants can absorb and decompose this, so as to achieve the effect of air purification "If you want to absorb harmful gases, I suggest that these plants, such as green pineapple, tiger skin orchid, smooth sailing, evergreen and aloe, all have strong purification ability." Said the gardener in spring If the room is small, like to hang up the plant, then the green pineapple, Chlorophytum, ivy is a better choice A small basin of Chlorophytum in a room of about 10 square meters can effectively absorb formaldehyde, carbon monoxide and other toxic chemicals in the space, and absorb 86% of formaldehyde within 24 hours, so it also has the reputation of "air purifier" And ivy can effectively absorb benzene and dust in the air These three kinds of plants are climbing rattan plants, so we need to leave it with "stem walking" space If the design is reasonable, we can dress our home green Because they are all shade loving plants, they are very suitable for cultivation at home When they propagate, they can adopt the form of cutting, which is very easy to survive For meat lovers, aloe is the best choice for air purification plants According to the reporter's understanding, aloe vera can eliminate 90% of the formaldehyde contained in 1 cubic meters under the condition of 24 hours of illumination Aloe Vera also has the effect of cooling and moisturizing The beauty lady can make Aloe Mask with it Aloe, like the common succulent plant, likes to grow in the soil with good drainage, and can be planted in sandy soil Aloe needs sufficient sunlight to grow It should be noted that the newly planted aloe should not be exposed to the sun It is best to see the sun only in the morning, and it will slowly adapt to grow in the sun after ten and a half days Many people like hydroponics in summer, so it's a good choice to choose a pot of plain sailing Smooth sailing is similar to red palm, which is relatively delicate, but easy to support It is a shade loving plant Usually, you just need to change water frequently Q & A: 1 How do indoor plants survive the summer? Because of the high temperature in summer, plants are easy to die In general, plants should be kept away from direct sunlight such as windows during the day Water needs to be appropriate, to follow the principle of one-time pouring, and not dry not pouring 2 Can these plants really absorb formaldehyde and other harmful gases? According to the research, ten pots of Chlorophytum can be used for a ten thousand yuan air purifier But to solve the problem fundamentally, we should open more windows and ventilate more.
