November has arrived and winter has come quietly. Have you all got ready to put on thick winter clothes? Besides the cold weather in winter, there is also hazy weather and the sky is always grey. So, what kinds of plants should you keep at home to effectively remove haze? Let's take a look together in the following text.
Monstera deliciosa
I believe you can find a lot of Monstera deliciosa along many greenways. Monstera deliciosa, also known as Swiss cheese plant, cordatum, etc., is a large - sized vining herbaceous plant of the Araceae family. This kind of plant has a strong natural adsorption capacity. If your home has just been renovated and there is a strong smell of home appliances and decoration, you can buy a few pots and place them at home to let them help absorb the harmful gases emitted.
Generally speaking, an ordinary - sized Monstera deliciosa has an adsorption capacity equivalent to about 10 grams of coconut charcoal fiber. At the same time, it can not only adsorb harmful substances such as benzene, but also play a role in purifying the space. Because its leaves are very large and the surface water transpiration is strong, keeping a pot indoors in winter can also achieve an effect similar to that of a humidifier.
Chlorophytum comosum
I believe that friends who have visited flower markets are very familiar with plants such as Chlorophytum comosum and Epipremnum aureum. There are quite a few varieties of Chlorophytum comosum on the market, such as Chlorophytum comosum 'Variegatum', Chlorophytum comosum 'Marginatum', Chlorophytum comosum 'Vittatum' and so on. No matter which kind of Chlorophytum comosum it is, it can achieve a relatively good effect of purifying the space.
Generally speaking, a Chlorophytum comosum can purify the air in an area of more than ten square meters around it. The reason why it can absorb a large amount of harmful gases lies in its leaves and roots. Its leaf surface area is relatively large and wide, and its root system is relatively developed. Therefore, the more vigorously it "breathes", the fresher the air will naturally be.
Nephrolepis exaltata 'Bostoniensis'
Nephrolepis exaltata 'Bostoniensis' is a foliage - viewing plant of the Nephrolepidaceae family and the genus Nephrolepis cultivated in the UK. Its leaves have a lot of small wrinkles, and these wrinkles can slowly absorb the dust in the air. Therefore, it is also called a "natural air purifier".
In terms of the care of Nephrolepis exaltata 'Bostoniensis', it is similar to that of ordinary foliage - viewing plants. It likes a warm and humid environment. The growth temperature should not be lower than 5 degrees Celsius or higher than 35 degrees Celsius. As for watering, it is necessary to water it when the soil surface is found to be dry.
