Many plants can secrete volatile substances that kill bacteria and fungi. Flower cultivation can not only satisfy our eyes, but also protect our health. Today, I would like to introduce three kinds of bactericidal plants.

Plants that absorb toxic chemical

A plant that can absorb toxic chemicals.

Aloe, Chlorophytum, Huwei orchid, orchid and bamboo are natural scavengers, which can remove harmful substances in the air. Some studies have shown that Huwei orchid and Chlorophytum can absorb more than 80% of the harmful gases in the room, and the ability to absorb formaldehyde is very strong. Aloe is also a good absorption of formaldehyde, can absorb 1 cubic meter of air containing 90% of formaldehyde.

Ivy, Tieshu, chrysanthemum, kumquat, pomegranate, half lotus, rose flower, camellia, pomegranate, Aglaia odorata, Daisy, wintersweet, marigold can effectively remove sulfur dioxide, chlorine, ether, ethylene, carbon monoxide, nitrogen peroxide and other harmful substances.

Orchid, osmanthus, wintersweet, taro and red back osmanthus are natural dust collectors. Their cilia can intercept and absorb floating particles and smoke in the air.

A mosquito repellent plant

As the weather gets warmer, plants that can repel mosquitoes have become the focus of people's attention. Mosquito clean vanilla is such a plant. It is an aromatic Geranium plant with altered genetic structure, which was introduced from Australia in recent years. The plant is drought resistant, can grow and mature within half a year, can survive for 10-15 years properly maintained, and the shape of its branches and leaves can be changed at will, which has high ornamental value.

Yujingvanilla has a fresh and elegant lemon fragrance, which has a good effect of mosquito repellent indoors, but no toxic and side effects on human body. The higher the temperature is, the more fragrance it emits, the better the effect of mosquito repellent. According to the test, a basin of mosquito net herbs with a crown of more than 30 cm can drive away the mosquitoes in the room with an area of more than 10 square meters. In addition, a plant called pyrethrum contains pyrethroids, which can also effectively repel mosquitoes.

A plant that kills germs.

The volatile oil produced by fragrant flowers such as rose, osmanthus, violet, jasmine, lemon, rose, carnation, lily of the valley and crape myrtle has significant bactericidal effect.

Crape myrtle, jasmine, lemon and other plants can kill diphtheria and dysentery bacteria and other original bacteria within 5 minutes. The fragrance of rose, carnation, lily of the valley, violet, rose, osmanthus and other plants obviously inhibited the growth and reproduction of Mycobacterium tuberculosis, pneumococcus and Staphylococcus.
