Air purifying ornamental plants. In addition to their greening and ornamental functions, many ornamental plants also have the health effects of absorbing toxic gases and purifying the air. Among them, spider plants are experts at purifying the air. They can absorb various harmful gases such as nitrogen oxides, methane, formaldehyde, benzene, carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, sulfur dioxide, chlorine peroxide, etc. In addition, plants that can purify the air also include:

Kidney fern, guava, rose, rose, crape myrtle, lilac, magnolia, osmanthus, golden pothos, aloe, commelder, ear fern, cactus, Tiger orchid, tiger tail orchid, agave, pineapple, prickly pear, lotus, epiphyllum, gem flower, sedum, purple sedum, ivy, iron tree, chrysanthemum, red stork, pomegranate, Milan, dracaena, Angelica dahurica etc.

Radiation-resistant ornamental plants

Some ornamental plants can absorb electromagnetic radiation. Placing these plants in the home or office can effectively reduce the radiation generated by various electrical and electronic products. Electromagnetic radiation pollution. These plants include: cacti, gem flowers, sedums and other succulents.

Insect-repellent and sterilizing ornamental plants

Some plants have special aromas or odors that are harmless to humans, but mosquitoes, cockroaches, flies and other pests will avoid them if they smell them. . Some of these special aromas or odors can also inhibit or kill bacteria and viruses. These plants include:

Tuberose, pyrethrum, wild chrysanthemum, purple jasmine, lemon, crape myrtle, jasmine, orchid, lilac, atractylodes, cornflower, dandelion, mint, etc.

Researchers from the Shanghai Institute of Plant Physiology and Ecology, Chinese Academy of Sciences, successfully extracted SP88, a natural radioprotectant from cruciferous plants, and confirmed the action mechanism and biological functions of SP88.

Cruciferous vegetables such as rape, greens, mustard, cabbage, and radish are not only common delicious dishes on the table, but also have anti-radiation properties. At present, this research result has obtained a national patent.
