We consider flowers from the point of view of energy. So, there are flowers for the home, and there are flowers for offices, for large rooms... There are flowers "men" - with masculine energy, and there are flowers with "feminine" - "women". When one species prevails in a house, this may affect the composition of the household themselves. That is, if there are many “women” flowers in the house, there is more feminine energy in the house, and it is already difficult for men to survive there. And vice versa. Better to keep a 50/50 balance.

Flowers grow quickly and look healthy only with positive energy. Your houseplants, serve as an indicator of your family (work) atmosphere. If something is wrong with your pets, they get sick, the leaves turn yellow, they die, you can expect problems ...

Having come to visit someone, you can easily determine "what" people (with what thoughts and moods) live in the house. If the flowers grow symmetrically, they look healthy, then the tenants' thoughts are positive, and vice versa. Flowers cannot survive in negative.

So, today we will give a list of indoor plants that would not hurt to have within the house, as well as what kind of good service they can do.

Hamedorea

This plant is a kind of house palm, and it belongs to this family. Very compact and beautiful plant, for whom it is easy to find a place in the office, and even in small apartment... The big advantage of hamedorea is that it is not whimsical. The trunk of this plant is very thin, it reaches 1.2 meters in height, however, in indoor conditions it can grow up to two meters. The leaves are thin, have a rich green color... Chamedorea blooms at a young age, about three to four years old, with small yellow flowers that are fragrant. After flowering, small berries appear in these places, the size of which is about a pea.

Hamedorea cleans the indoor air from harmful impurities such as benzene, formaldehyde, etc. The plant serves as a natural humidifier, which will be very useful in the cold season, when the heating in the apartments dries everything up. In addition, the plant is absolutely safe for people and pets, therefore, if the latter suddenly decide to taste chamedorea, you can be absolutely calm about their health.

Due to such qualities, it is better to place it in offices if it comes about offices, or in the living room, if we talk about an apartment. But the bedroom is not the best place for her "residence", otherwise it will be problematic to sleep, because she contributes to the opposite action.

In the treatment, the sap of the plant is mainly used, the age of which has reached three years. It is upon reaching three years that the maximum amount of nutrients and useful substances accumulates and forms in it. Only the lower leaves are cut, the length of which is no more than 18 cm. However, for the purpose of healing wounds, you can use not the gel (juice), but the leaf itself, cut lengthwise and applied to the sore spot.

Therefore, it is very good to place it in rooms where there are constant conversations about money or thoughts about financial well-being... Homemade lemon cleanses the aura of the apartment and frees the thoughts of households from obsessions. Its aroma pushes a person to action and new achievements.

But this plant is useful not only for its aroma, but also for its fruits. By the way, do not try to grow lemon at home from purchased citrus seeds. First, it is no longer homemade lemon secondly, such attempts usually do not lead to the appearance of fruits.

But you need to be extremely careful with him, as he can cause allergic reactions, therefore, do not work with it if you have carried out an allergy test before use, and if there are no negative reactions, you can implement what was intended.

Chlorophytum

Chlorophytum is rightfully called a home ecologist. In addition to its visual appeal, it is especially respected for its ability to purify the air. Considering the quality of oxygen in the modern world, this is an invaluable plus. That is why many hostesses install it in the kitchen or in places where someone smokes regularly. All harmful substances are absorbed by it, and at the exit it gives fresh air... In comparison, it can neutralize up to 80% of the harmful effects of gas stoves.

There is scientific evidence that Chlorophytum kills pathogenic microflora on an area of about two square meters. Therefore, in order to sterilize the room air, you only need a few pots. And one more scientific fact that a flower near it kills up to 80% of microbes.

In addition to its warlike qualities, it perfectly moisturizes the air and creates a favorable microclimate in which it is very easy to breathe. That's just in order for him to give moisture, he first needs to be given it, so do not skimp on watering it. You can increase the release of moisture if activated carbon is added to the water for irrigation.

The flower successfully captures and keeps harmful and dangerous substances inside, such as carbon monoxide, acetone, ammonia and others. chemical elements... Therefore, it will become a real salvation in places where there is contact with such "pests". By the way, an interesting feature was noticed, the more harmful and chemical components, the more actively Chlorophytum grows.

A group of scientists once conducted an experiment in order to check how many chemicals Chlorophytum can absorb (and it really eats harmful emissions, therefore, it grows faster in disadvantaged places). So, what was their surprise when the plant in one day created an almost sterile environment around itself (which is often observed in operating rooms), absorbing all the filth. And the most interesting thing is that it tarnished the reputation of many microclimate generators produced in industrial scale, showing the best results in cleansing and humidifying the air.

Ficus

This is very popular home plant, which is due to several factors at once. Firstly, it is not at all whimsical to care for, and secondly, it is miniature and will fit on the windowsill without taking up much space. But before deciding to grow it, you need to know that according to research, this plant is one of the three leaders in terms of the number of those who are capable of causing allergies.

Do not forget that ficus secretes milky juice containing rubber, which has a detrimental effect on asthmatics. In general, milky juice is considered poisonous, so it is better not to contact with it. If it comes into contact with the skin, it can cause severe irritation. Be careful not to let animals and children come into contact with it. These are just precautions that must be followed strictly.

Speaking about the benefits, it is worth noting its feature to filter the air, absorb the dust that hovers in the apartment. In medicine, ficus is used for the treatment of arthritis, mastitis and radiculitis. Special infusions are prepared from the leaves of the plant, with which lotions and compresses are then made. And, of course, it is simply beautiful, so it will delight the owners with its appearance.

Sansevieria

What names does this plant have, and the mother-in-law's tongue, and the pike's tail, and the tongue of the devil, and the serpentine scythe. About 70 species of this evergreen stemless plant are now known. He can be very often seen in the most different rooms, from apartments to government offices, and all because Sansevieria does not require special attention. It can calmly grow and develop in full shade or in direct sunlight, it is almost never touched by pests and the rarest watering is not afraid of it, just like drafts and too dry or humid air. The only thing that can become destructive is the bay and a long stay at 0 ° С.

So, what are the advantages of Sensevieria:

the flower gives off a lot of oxygen;
it purifies the air and kills bacteria;
those who are near the plant significantly increase their immunity;
able to neutralize harmful fumes;
absorbs the main harm of radiation from computers;

the smoke of burning leaves has been used for centuries as an effective remedy for headaches.

Rumor has it that if the flower is placed in the house, then quarrels and troubles in this room will be much less. But it is extremely undesirable to put it in the bedroom and children's room, since it has a very strong energy, the excess of which will not benefit anyone. It is necessary to be treated with this plant very carefully - poisonous substances are included in its leaves. But it is they who act as an ingredient in some choleretic, diuretic and laxative drugs.

Home geranium

Geranium is one of the popular plants among the people. That's just the right way, it should not grow within the apartment, but on the street. Therefore, such a "pet" is ideal for summer residents and owners of private houses. For some time, everyone was delighted with geraniums, the ladies even decorated their hats with flowers of plants and, in general, decorated themselves with it. A wide variety of medicines were prepared from its juice, which fought against burns, ulcers and inflammations.

Geranium-based oil has been used for a long time to relieve fatigue and pain in the spine from muscles. Compresses with it draw out pus from wounds and contribute to the rapid tightening of ulcers. In order to get rid of a runny nose, you need to drip a couple of drops of geranium oil into your nose. Ear pain can be soothed in the same way.

The headache is relieved by simply applying oil to the temples, and bad mood and depression go away with it. There are a great many recipes using geranium to treat ailments. The leaf of this plant for its medicinal properties can be safely compared with the road one. If you apply it to the wound, then the blood will stop, the reproduction of pathogenic microbes will stop, and the damage itself will heal faster.

Tinctures of plant roots help to cope with hypertension, forget what insomnia and nerves are. It is also applicable for diarrhea, gastritis and colic. At all times, she was credited with the properties of neutralizing poisons and relieving stress.

Mother nature has made sure that a person always has everything he needs at his fingertips. If you fully understand healing power plants, then the realization will come that to live a happy, long and at the same time healthy life it is possible completely without the use of chemically derived drugs. What we have considered today is only a small fraction of what these plants carry in themselves, in addition, in addition to them, there are others that are no less useful.

Glad to see you on the blog))

In late autumn, I want to add colors to life and to the surrounding interior, and since it is easier and more useful to do this with the help of indoor plants, then the article will be about them today.

The history of growing plants at home is more than 5000 years old, according to scientists.

Over the years, the perception of indoor plants has changed, now we grow most of the flowers for decorative purposes, forgetting that green friends can be beneficial to our health, if you choose them correctly.

In addition, well-chosen flowers will complement the most modest room, create coziness, and revive the atmosphere. They will delight the eye on winter evenings, when it is cold and uncomfortable outside.

The positive effect of domestic plants on the human body has been studied well enough and is beyond doubt. Here are some “useful” examples:

In closed, unventilated rooms, there is quite a a large number of carbon dioxide. Plants absorb CO2 and release oxygen, saturating the air with it.
There are many objects around us made of toxic materials. All of them secrete substances, to put it mildly, not useful for our body. Residents of megalopolises, simple ventilation will not help get rid of odors and toxins, because outside the window the air is saturated with exhaust gases and emissions from enterprises that contain fine dust, heavy metals, sulfur and other substances.
