What kind of plants are good to put in a pregnant woman's room

It is appropriate to place some potted plants at home, as these potted plants help beautify the home environment and also help refresh the home air. There are many potted plants to choose from at home, such as green ivy, lucky bamboo and other plants. Pregnant women should choose plants whose smell is not particularly obvious so as not to cause greater harm to their bodies. So what plants should be placed in a pregnant woman's bedroom?

Can pregnant women put plants in their bedrooms?

Pregnant women can keep plants indoors. However, it is best to grow flowers in the living room, study, or balcony. Flowers should generally not be grown in the bedroom. This is because the room is small and the air circulation is poor. These flowers will absorb oxygen and exhale carbon dioxide at night, so the oxygen content in the room will decrease, which is not good for pregnant women and fetuses.

1. Flowers that can absorb harmful gases and dust particles. This type of plants includes spider plants, aloe vera, tiger tail plants, monstera, ivy, mirabilis, half-flowered lotus, kumquat, chrysanthemum, marigold, araceae, etc. Because this type of flowers can remove indoor carbon monoxide, sulfur dioxide, formaldehyde, benzene, chlorine, fluorine and other gases that are toxic to the body. In particular, plants such as spider plants, tiger tail plants, and aloe vera can absorb about 80% of various harmful gases in the room, especially formaldehyde, which they have a strong ability to absorb.

2. Flowers and plants that can inhibit bacterial growth

This type of plants includes violets, lemons, roses, carnations, lily of the valley, crape myrtles and other flower plants. These flowers and plants can inhibit the reproduction of diphtheria, tuberculosis, pneumococcus and staphylococcus. Planting them in the room can sterilize the air and prevent pregnant women from getting sick.

3. Flowers and plants that increase oxygen in the room

It is best for pregnant women to keep some cactus (ball) plants in the room, because the stomata on the fleshy stems of these plants are closed during the day and open at night, so they will release oxygen while absorbing carbon dioxide, which is more beneficial to human health. But please do not touch the cactus with your hands to avoid being pricked. Other plants that release oxygen at night include Phalaenopsis, Clerodendrum strychnifolia, Chlorophytum comosum, Aloe vera, Tiger tail orchid, and Dragon bone. Although they are small in size, the amount of oxygen they release is just right for human breathing.
