As the national living index rises, many people like to grow some expensive varieties of flowers for health preservation at home. Among them, Phalaenopsis is chosen by many friends. However, many friends only know that it has a gorgeous and elegant appearance, but ignore that it also has some amazing functions. What is mentioned here is the carbon dioxide absorption and oxygen release ability of Phalaenopsis. Let's learn about it together below.
Phalaenopsis is an orchid native to tropical regions. Surprisingly, it can produce flowers that dance like butterflies under the relatively shady big trees, thus winning the love of many new and old flower lovers. However, in addition to its beautiful appearance, studies have shown that Phalaenopsis can also absorb carbon dioxide and release oxygen through photosynthesis. That is to say, placing it indoors can also play a role in purifying the air.
Relevant research has proposed that the survival principle of Phalaenopsis is to absorb carbon dioxide in sunlight during the day and then convert it into nutrients. At the same time, after the photosynthesis decreases at night, it will release oxygen to provide additional oxygen supply around the plant. Therefore, Phalaenopsis is suitable to be placed in spaces such as bedrooms or offices, so that flower lovers can obtain better air quality.
It should be noted that although Phalaenopsis has the function of optimizing air quality, it cannot perfectly replace air purifiers or other air freshening devices. Because when comparing air purifiers with Phalaenopsis, the purification effect of Phalaenopsis is relatively weak. At the same time, the purification effect depends on the health status of the plant itself. The basic requirements for maintaining Phalaenopsis well are sufficient light, appropriate temperature and humidity and other conditions.
In general, in addition to its gorgeous appearance, Phalaenopsis also has the function of absorbing carbon dioxide and releasing oxygen. After this research shows, it means that Phalaenopsis is suitable for maintenance in a relatively closed company environment. Usually, only by giving it scattered light and a suitable growth environment, it can improve the air quality. However, it should be noted that the purification effect of Phalaenopsis cannot completely replace air purifiers or other air freshening devices.
