Do you have an animal at home that happily greets you at the doorstep or squeaks enthusiastically from its cage?

If not, how do you relieve the stress that all people are exposed to, moving in the frantic rhythm of the modern metropolis? Who helps you stay smiling and friendly after hard work?

Perhaps you have chosen a different path to relaxation: caring for your home flowers? This is also very good way! Flowers are also alive and will also thank you for your affection and care.

Take, for example, the well-known Sansevieria. Don't know this one? You know, you know! You are familiar with it under the names “ mother-in-law's tongue", "donkey ears", "snake skin" or "spicy burdock"!

A completely unpretentious resident of our apartments, it readily grows even among the most irresponsible gardeners and destroyers! Like a faithful dog, Sansevieria will forgive you for your forgetfulness in watering, irregular feeding, *poor* soil composition and lack of good lighting. So resilient and unpretentious flower is a real oxygen factory! This little factory will be happy to help your body adapt to different conditions your stay, will increase your immunity, protect you from colds, and reduce the impact of changes in temperature, humidity, and pressure. Have you laid new linoleum? Urgently place Sansevieria in your house! It will absorb all the toxins released not only by linoleum, but also by other synthetic materials after renovation! Convinced of the need for such a purchase?

Oh, don't you like the sharp leathery arrow-shaped leaves? Let's try to find you another pet option.

Let's consider the good *philistine* ficus - the source of joy and well-being of the Soviet people of the last century! Look, the leaves are large, leathery, but rounded and ovoid in shape. Such leaves are simply obliged to retain a huge amount of toxins (which is what they do), and washing or wiping them is very convenient! Like many *oxygen* plants, ficus has phytoncidal properties, moisturizes the air and abundantly saturates it with oxygen, purifies and refreshes this very air.

TO general information, there are no allergic reactions to ficus, which is very important for people who want to have a *pet plant* in the house, but are afraid for their health. The best place for it is in the kitchen or in a room whose windows overlook an industrial area or highway.

Remember one important detail: during the day, ficus, as it should be for all green-leaved plants, releases oxygen, but at night, on the contrary, it absorbs it! A tub of *philistine joy* should not be placed in a bedroom or nursery.

Would you like to add greenery to these particular areas of the apartment?

Then let's look at the bay ball. This bush with evergreen leaves lends itself well to pruning and can take any shape, but, personally, I like the ball better.

So, this laurel air filter will not only heal and saturate the air with the finest ethereal aroma, with the help of the same ethereal aroma it will kill all harmful microbes in your bedroom, will have a beneficial effect on people suffering from cardiovascular diseases, spasms, and at the same time will calm your baby’s tummy if the bedroom is not yours, but your child’s.

And if you forgot to buy dried Bay leaf in a bag, then you just have to take a few steps towards the bedroom and, wow! – the seasoning is already in your hands!

Oh, is your bedroom not flooded with sun? Yes, you are not suitable for the laurel, alas!

Well, let's try aloe. It doesn't need as much light as a laurel bush, but carbon dioxide It sucks no worse than a vacuum cleaner. Plus, aloe relieves *electricity* in relationships and calms nervous system. You will sleep sweetly.

And a whole first aid kit is always at hand! Aloe juice is a storehouse of healing: helps with headaches and colds, choleretic, wound healing, antibacterial, anti-inflammatory. As a means to increase appetite, normalize digestion, accelerate recovery processes, in case of tissue damage due to burns and bleeding - it has no equal! Aloe is rightfully one of the most popular plants, it is almost impossible to ruin it, it tolerates any lighting. Get yourself some aloe, you won’t regret it!

So, okay, I agree that plants for the home should be chosen not only for their usefulness and the number of phytoncides, but also for their beauty. Let's take a look at the palm tree?

This is a real lady in a fan hat! In addition, it is very meticulous when cleaning your apartment: it will not only clean and filter the air, but also saturate it with minerals and salts, which will not be superfluous for people with various forms pulmonary tract diseases. At bronchial asthma the presence of a palm tree is simply necessary! And how this miracle palm lady knows how to calm you down, you will be satisfied with her!

Plants are different, there are those that remove negative influences electromagnetic radiation from a computer and TV (cacti are especially famous for this), there are those that will help increase the humidity in apartments overdried by artificial heaters (violets, cyclamens, ferns, hibiscus, abutilons), there are also those that will help you improve gas-water exchange in your home (dieffenbachia, anthurium, philodedron), but they all faithfully serve to benefit people!

There are also real tricky ones among them, such as ivy. This *crawling catcher* has an imperceptible, but very important rare property: it collects from the air not only carbon dioxide, toxins and formaldehydes, but also heavy metal salts, therefore, it is a real green natural sorbent. A very useful pet, I must say!

Asparagus and rosemary will be no less useful in this regard. The latter, by the way, in addition to being a medicine for sick and weakened lungs, helps strengthen bones and improves skin elasticity.

And *grandmother’s* geranium? Scientifically speaking, pelargonium? It generally releases biologically active substances that kill staphylococci and streptococci. Can you imagine?! Not only does it drive away flies, absorb dampness and fumes, it also disinfects and refreshes the room in which you placed it! No hamster can do this! And geranium – maybe!!!

It can also give you the most beautiful colored balls during its flowering periods, just do not forget to water it generously in warm times. The rest of the care is not complicated: geranium is practically not affected by pests and diseases.

But there is one plant that is generally not subject to any damage, this is chlorophytum. Not only does he not get sick himself, but he can also protect you! An excellent watchman and a very unpretentious resident of your home.

You can see it in every clinic, on the windowsills of schools and kindergartens, in every public reception area and even in a tavern restaurant. This *caretaker* kills all harmful bacteria! And what an indomitable hunger he has for formaldehyde! He is ready to digest this poison in unlimited quantities, he simply loves nitrogen oxides and heavy metals. The dirtier the air, the better!

In these unsanitary conditions, chlorophytum happily and quickly produces its children, who will gratefully accept feeding in the form of tobacco resins and kitchen waste. In the kitchen, the long leaves of young chlorophytes become green, juicy and elastic!

By the way, the love of life of this flower can only be compared with its vitality. It is not for nothing that he is a real champion among house plants for improving the health and cleansing of any premises. Add to pots with chlorophyte Activated carbon and the cleansing properties of the flower will increase several times. To purify the air of a room of 25 sq.m. place 6-7 pots with this flower in it and enjoy the freshest oxygen! But don’t forget to give your pets bath days at least once a month, especially if they ozone your kitchen, rid them of droplets of fat and soot.

If you count the number of all plants recommended for living in your apartment to improve the air quality, then ideally it will look like this: chlorophytum, sansevieria, ivy, aloe - 8-10 pcs.; geranium, philodedron – 3-4 pcs.; lemon, masters – 1-2 pcs.; vines, cacti - as much as your heart desires.

We must remember that some plants, such as oleander and dieffenbachia, are poisonous. Keep an eye on children, pets (if you have them) and incoming guests!

Decorate your home! Love your home! Small green islands scattered throughout your apartment will not only have a beneficial effect on your physical health, but will also affect the soul only for the better!

And you will begin to rush home, even if you have no children, no lap dog, no hamster, no kitten, because there, in your green oasis, your flowers are waiting for you. HOME IS WAITING FOR YOU!!!

When plant leaves absorb oxygen, day or night.

During the day, tree leaves actively absorb solar energy, absorbing carbon dioxide they release oxygen, producing nutrients from mineral salts received with moisture from the roots and sunlight, and also absorb and evaporate moisture coming from the surrounding air. At night, when all living things fall asleep, the leaves also have no time for sleep; they continue photosynthesis, using oxygen instead of light and carbon dioxide. And only in the fall, when frost damages the delicate leaf tissue, they begin to turn yellow, slowly drying out and... Without sufficient light and heat, life processes in a tree stop; it sheds its leaves, getting rid of unnecessary ballast. And in the spring, with the arrival of heat and warming up of the soil, the roots of plants again have the opportunity to actively absorb water, the plants become covered with leaves and again work without rest.
