The history of flower cultivation in China is very long. Flower cultivation began as early as the Neolithic Age 3000 years ago. By the spring and Autumn period, there had been books on chrysanthemums. By the Tang Dynasty, the level of flower breeding in China had been improved to a certain extent. What are the benefits of raising flowers that fascinate generation after generation? For people in modern society, the benefits of raising flowers mainly include the following five points.
1. Purify the air, isolate pollution and improve air quality
As we all know, plants can purify the air by absorbing carbon dioxide in the air and discharging a large amount of oxygen. Flowers belong to a kind of plants and naturally have this function. According to the measurement, if ten medium-sized flowers are placed in a standard room, the number of negative ions in the air can be changed to 2-2.5 times. The increase of negative ions will make people feel that the air becomes fresh, so as to achieve the effect of purifying the air. Indoor flower cultivation can not only absorb carbon dioxide in the air and discharge a large amount of oxygen, but also absorb and transform possible formaldehyde substances and nitrogen oxides, such as Chlorophytum, aloe and Narcissus. In addition, raising flowers can also block dust, effectively reduce the dust content in the air, isolate dust pollution, and avoid inhalation when people breathe. Orchids, osmanthus and ivy all have these effects. By absorbing harmful gases in the air and releasing oxygen, and then isolating atmospheric dust, flowers can significantly improve air quality.
2. Isolate noise and adjust temperature and humidity to avoid some diseases
Flowers are known as natural "noise reducers". Lush flowers and trees can absorb and block noise. According to scientific calculation, if there are patches of flowers in the room, the noise can be reduced to 26 to 43 dB at least, while trees on the roadside can reduce the noise by 8 to 10 dB, which is significantly lower than the noise reduction effect of flowers. Flowers and trees generally absorb the noise transmitted in the air through their surface pores and dense rough hair, and have the effect of blocking dust. In addition, flowers are also natural "air conditioners", which can regulate the temperature and humidity in the air, which is why the state calls for afforestation in the context of global warming. In hot summer, green plants can reduce the temperature by three to five degrees, which can effectively isolate the summer heat, and can play a heat preservation effect in cold winter. Because flowers can dehumidify and adjust the temperature, they can keep the room dry, so that people can avoid some diseases such as arthritis and rheumatism to a certain extent.
3. Fight against bacteria, enhance immunity and promote physical health
If Anthurium andraeanum, Anthurium andraeanum, Rhododendron and ivy are placed indoors, they can release some substances with bactericidal function to help absorb harmful toxins in indoor air, and then release substances and gases beneficial to human health after a cycle. However, jasmine and lilac can quickly kill native bacteria within five minutes with their own fragrance, with remarkable effect, Lavender and rosemary, for example, can also play an effective role in fighting harmful bacteria. They can be made and stored indoors as dried flowers. In this way, by absorbing harmful bacteria and harmful gases in the air and releasing beneficial gases, some people who are sensitive to air components can strengthen their body's immune ability, such as Boston chrysanthemum, and can also effectively remove some fungal spores in the air. If spores are inhaled into the body through breathing, it will cause cough. Raising such flowers can reduce the occurrence of respiratory diseases and avoid the influence of some fungi. In addition, people can prevent and cure diseases and strengthen their health by smelling the fragrance of flowers and even raising flowers. For example, the fragrance of chrysanthemum can remove heat and brighten the eyes, which has a good effect on people suffering from viral cold; People with neurasthenia and poor sleep quality can put lemons in front of the bed. The aroma of lemons can calm the spirit and promote sleep; Patients with pulmonary tuberculosis can raise some flowers such as jasmine. The bactericidal substances released by crape myrtle and jasmine have a miraculous effect on the elimination of tuberculosis bacilli.
4. Decorate the space, increase vitality and relieve visual pressure
When modern people raise flowers, they will be used to putting flowers on balconies, halls, bedrooms, study and other places, which can decorate the environment and make the space not too monotonous, boring and dull. Flowers are bright and colorful, which can improve the atmosphere at home and add natural color and vitality. Whether in the bedroom, study or office at home, most of the tools people often use are electronic products such as mobile phones, tablets and computers. Nowadays, fewer and fewer people read paper books, but more and more people use mobile phones, Kindle and other readers. Over time, people will feel visual fatigue. The radiation generated by long-term use of electronic products will aggravate the pressure on the eyes of the human body, which is difficult to load and often feels astringent and sour. Raising flowers can help people improve this problem. Different colors often have different functions. Pure and elegant colors such as blue, green and white can give people a quiet and refreshing feeling, while bright colors such as red, orange and yellow will give people a warm and warm feeling, and the color of flowers is similar. The different colors of flowers can affect the substances in the human body that transmit information to nerves and muscle cells, so as to regulate people's spirit and emotion. It can help people to raise their eyesight when they are working on the platform of peppermint and green leaves, and even improve their eyesight when they are looking at the place where the eyesight has declined for a long time.
