Plants for the bedroomReally, no, perhaps not.another such room in the house, where a person would spend 6-8 hours a day in a row. Only professional cooks spend such a long time in the kitchen, in the living room in front of the TV - only those old people who do not have the strength to leave the house. All the rest - children, parents and an active cohort of pensioners - appear at home closer to the evening, and spend a long time only in the bedroom. In addition, during sleep we often breathe deeper than usual, and, therefore, it would be necessary to ensure that the air is clean. Plants, as is known, during the dark phase of photosynthesis (occurring in the absence of sunlight, i.e. at night, when a person sleeps) absorb carbon dioxide and fill the air with oxygen. In addition, some of them have bactericidal properties, and one of the best ways to purify the air is to proper landscaping of the bedroom, in particular, the use of essential oil-bearing plants that release special substances into the environment that have a lot of useful properties.
Indoor plants for the bedroomIt's not for nothing that our grandmothersso loved geranium - it is one of the main potted essential oil plants, whose presence on the windowsills both purifies the air and improves the mood. It is especially useful for half of humanity to inhale, since this plant normalizes the hormonal background of women. Similar properties - bactericidal and soothing - have citrus fruits. Indoor citrus fruits are presented in abundance in flower shops - these are lemons, citrons, tangerines, orange trees, kumquat, and grapefruit. The magical aroma is spread not only by their flowers, but also by the leaves and peel of ripening fruits. The disadvantage of these plants is their subtropical - habit - winter in a cool room: for the winter it is better to put them on a heated balcony, where the temperature does not rise above +13 degrees Celsius (the optimum for lemons is +2-+6 degrees).
It's unlikely that anyone would be willing to sleep in a room with something like that.temperature. Another, not entirely useful quality of citrus fruits is that they do not tolerate drafts well, and a bedroom is a room that is difficult to imagine without ventilation. For those who nevertheless decide to put a tub with a lemon or orange tree in the bedroom, we remind you that these plants react negatively to the chlorine content in the water, and therefore water for irrigation must be prepared with special care. In addition, they should be sprayed often and fed with mineral fertilizers once a week.
A good plant for the bedroom is laurel.A sprig of laurel at the head of a child's bed was once considered the best remedy for insomnia in children. Adults sleep well in the presence of lavender and rosemary, which have begun to appear on the shelves of flower shops in the form of potted plants. The last two plants make sense to consider as "temporary landscaping plants" - they have lived out their days, withered away, and there is no need to revive them or worry about not having protected them. Caring for them is quite difficult, and the price, on the contrary, is quite affordable to give yourself such a useful pleasure for a short time. Of course, they need to be watered and fed, but do not have any illusions about their lifespan.
It is very useful to inhale the aroma before going to bed and during sleep.roses, however, not all potted roses have a scent. Unscented roses, however, will look good on a dressing table in the bedroom. And if you want a scent... Well, try to root one of the garden roses that have a scent next summer, and then move it to the bedroom for the winter. However, it is possible that you will not have to wait for summer, since sometimes even those roses that are sold in stores, stalls and kiosks take root. This story happened to my aunt: her son gave her a large rose for her birthday, bought at a stall near the metro. The rose was unusually fragrant and stood in the vase for so long that it gave roots. My aunt planted it in a pot, looked after it, and a year later, exactly on her birthday, a new flower blossomed on the rose bush. The story is almost mystical, no one can guarantee you the same exact result (a bud that blossomed on the appointed day), but you can try. In fairness, we note that the rose from our magical story was from May, since my aunt's birthday is in this month. The air in the bedroom should not only be clean, but, if possible, also have high humidity. Good humidifiers are, first of all, plants with large leaves: banana, sparmannia, hibiscus, cissus rhombifolia and others.
For those who are more interested in landscapingfrom the point of view of design, and not in terms of its effect on air purity and mood, the following advice can be given: if your bedroom is large enough, do not try to decorate it with small flowers, such as Uzumbara violets or tiny cacti. It is best to put a good tub plant - a palm tree or a ficus, having previously thought about how you will light it, since all such plants need good lighting. Ferns will stay in your bedroom for some time - they are large, spectacular, shade-loving, however, most often need additional air humidification. A small bedroom gives scope for phytodesign, a variety of indoor flowers can live here. However, if the issue with proper lighting is not resolved, the plant will not live, but suffer. Therefore, you will need to look for more comfortable conditions for it every now and then, put it on a windowsill or take it to another room where it is lighter or cooler, or where, for example, on the contrary, it is warmer and there is an aquarium nearby, creating increased air humidity. If the walls of the bedroom are covered with variegated wallpaper, then the flowers should have large, single-color leaves; if the walls are in one color, then you can afford variegated plants, however, taking into account that all variegated plants are very photophilous. Beautifully flowering plants will also be appropriate here - azalea, anthurium, Persian cyclamen and others. Psychologists believe that the most memorable phrases are those that were said last, and the most important pictures are those that are imprinted in our memory before going to bed. Try to arrange the space of your bedroom in such a way that it gives rise to only pleasant associations, and indoor plants will help you with this!
