The living room is a place where the whole family often activities, and it is also a place where relatives and friends get together. Therefore, there are many stresses on the choice of green plants in the living room. As the subject said, green plants with easy maintenance and long life are needed. But COCoo thinks that the long life and good maintenance of green plants are only a relative concept. Most green plants are relatively easy to maintain, just give them a suitable environment. In an unsuitable environment, long-lived green plants will die quickly.
Therefore, when choosing plants to be placed in the living room, we should not only consider the characteristics of easy maintenance and long life, but also consider the orientation of the living room to provide a suitable environment for green plants, as well as the area of the living room, the collocation of indoor styles, the age of the owner, the function of plants, the implication and so on. Here's a brief explanation.
First, choose plants according to the orientation of the living room.
As we all know, the most easy-to-maintain and longest-lived green plant is the green radish, but the easy-to-maintain green plant also needs a suitable environment, so the orientation of the living room is very important for the choice of plants, because the orientation of the living room determines the growth conditions such as sunshine, temperature and ventilation required by the green plant.
(1) Plants facing south and sunrise in the living room can be selected.
If the living room is facing the sun and can receive more than 5 hours of light every day, you can choose Clivia, venetian blinds, Gardenia, scented tea, Petunia, Geranium, Rhododendron, Sophora alopecuroides, Jasmine, Milan, Rose, Tulip, Narcissus and hyacinthus orientalis. These green plants like sunny and well-ventilated places, and only in the living room in Chaoyang can they grow well and flourish.
(2) Plants that can be selected in the shade of the living room facing north.
The living room is located in the shade, and the light is not good. It is necessary to cultivate some green plants that do not require high light, such as ferns, tiger pines, green radish and pineapples. Try not to arrange some green plants that need high light.
If you want to decorate, you should regularly move to a place with suitable light for a period of time, and then decorate indoors.
(3) Plants that can be selected in the living room from east to west.
The plants that can be selected in the living room are cyclamen, asparagus, begonia, chlorophytum, cauliflower taro, Liuxue in Phnom Penh, fairy wand and so on.
Summary:
COCO believes that most green plants are easy to maintain and have a long life. If the owner doesn't have much time to take care of it, then he should pay attention to the indoor environment and choose suitable green plants according to the orientation of the living room.
At the same time, besides paying attention to longevity and taking good care, we should also pay attention to some other problems.
Second, choose plants according to the area of the living room.
Generally speaking, the size of the living room determines the size of the selected green plants. In some small spaces, it is not suitable for placing larger green plants, such as the tree of happiness, the tree of wealth, cycads and so on. In the spacious living room, there are relatively more choices, but it must be noted that the green area in the living room does not exceed 10% of the living room area at most, so that the room has a certain sense of expansion, otherwise,
Generally speaking, even in a large space, the height of green plants should not exceed 2.3 meters.
Third, choose plants according to the decoration style of the living room.
The tone texture of plants should also match the indoor tone. If the ambient color is strong, the plant color should be lighter.
Such as the common evergreen in the south, the leaves are green and white, which is very soft under a strong background.
If the environment is light and elegant, the choice of green plants is wide, and those with dark green leaves, huge leaves, small and delicate leaves and soft colors can be integrated.
① Chinese living room is suitable for placing green plants.
Chinese decoration style advocates solemnity and elegance, with red, black and yellow as the main colors, which are heavy and mature. Therefore, when choosing green plants, the overall style should be elegant and light, such as bluegrass, bamboo and Ruyi Queen.
② European living room is suitable for green plants.
The European living room is decorated with Rosaceae plants, such as roses and Chinese rose. These plants can increase the romantic atmosphere of the room, and their characteristics are more in line with the European home style.
③ American living room is suitable for placing green plants.
American living room has various accessories, attaches great importance to the natural comfort of life, highlights the clean and comfortable style, and has a casual and elegant appearance; Among them, all kinds of complex green potted plants are important decorative elements in American style.
④ French living room is suitable for green plants.
Lavender is the best accessory of French pastoral style, which can not only convey the natural atmosphere, but also make the living room full of romantic style. Of course, lavender is indeed a difficult plant to grow.
Fourth, choose plants according to the age of the owner.
When choosing plants, we should not only consider the problem of maintenance, but also consider the age of the owner and be responsible for the health of the owner.
(1) The green plants that should be placed in the living room of the elderly.
The living room dominated by the elderly should be neat and concise, with plenty of sunshine and fresh air, which is conducive to the health care of the elderly. Therefore, the choice of green plants should be suitable for sunny places and the colors should be fresh and elegant.
Because the elderly are inconvenient to move, they should choose plants that are drought-tolerant, easy to take care of and evergreen all the year round, which is beneficial to the elderly to eliminate visual fatigue, improve their eyesight and clear their hearts.
Such as Phyllostachys pubescens, cycads, American ginseng, Podocarpus, Evergreen, Huweilan and other green plants, some are lush, some are strong and green, and they are immortal all year round, symbolizing the meaning of immortality for the elderly.
(2) When you have children at home, you need to pay attention to the placement of green plants.
In the case of children at home, try to choose small foliage plants as the mainstay, and choose some interesting plants according to the characteristics of children's strong curiosity, such as mint flowers and deciduous trees.
5. Select plants in combination with "the function of plants".
Choosing green plants in the living room is not just for beauty. Some plants are not only easy to raise and have a long life, but also have a strong role in purifying the air and adsorbing formaldehyde.
1 green radish?
Green radish is a good hand at absorbing formaldehyde and has high ornamental value. It can not only purify the air, but also make full use of the space, adding lively lines and bright colors to the dull cupboard door.
2 duck feet (zhi) grass?
Not only can it absorb formaldehyde, but it is also a good indoor foliage plant, which can defend against shade without a few windowsills. At the same time, the plant can be used as medicine, with the effects of clearing away heat, purging fire and detoxifying, and can also be used to treat sore throat, snake bite and so on.
3 aloe vera?
Aloe vera is a natural scavenger, which can remove harmful substances in the air. Studies show that aloe can absorb 90% of formaldehyde in 1 m3.
4 tequila?
Tequila is also a good absorber of formaldehyde. In addition, it can also be used to make wine, and the tequila made with it is very famous.
5 gerbera?
This plant is not only an expert in absorbing formaldehyde, but also has strong ornamental value. Chrysanthemum can decompose two harmful substances, formaldehyde in carpets, insulation materials and plywood, and xylene hidden in wallpaper that is harmful to the kidneys.
6 chlorophytum and Eupatorium odoratum?
It can absorb more than 80% indoor harmful gases, and has a strong absorption capacity for formaldehyde.
Sixth, choose plants according to the "implication" of green plants.
Green plants not only beautify the space and purify the air, but also have beautiful meanings. For example, plants with fruits or lucky plants are placed in the living room, which means that the family is fruitful and the financial resources are rolling.
For example, placing bluegrass and bamboo, these plants are not only easy to raise and have a long life, but also imply the noble gentleman's way of the owner.
For example, the house above is used by the elderly, and there are green plants such as tortoise shell bamboo, cycad, five-needle pine, Podocarpus, evergreen, and tiger tail orchid. Some of these plants are lush, some are vigorous and green, and they are not old all year round, symbolizing the meaning of immortality for the elderly.
Summary:
The above is my ideal and suggestion on the question "What plants in the living room can grow long and need no care". COCO thinks that to put green plants in the living room, we should first choose green plants according to the living room environment, which is closely related to the orientation of the living room, such as light, ventilation, temperature and so on. At the same time, many factors such as living room area, interior style collocation, owner's age, plant's function and implication should be considered when choosing living room green plants. You can't just choose long-lived and well-maintained green plants, nor can you ignore the above factors. I hope my answer can help you. Thank you.
