Cleaning of plants for indoor air


Three common plants for indoor use include Dracaena (Dracaena fragrans), Pothos (Epipremnum aureum) and peace lilies (Spathiphyllum clevelandii). Choose the right plant for an interior space may improve the quality of the air and the interior decoration.

Dracaena (Dracaena fragrans): These plants are resistant to the interior and require little maintenance. Dracaena can be placed close to indirect lighting, but make sure that you get enough sunlight for the normal growth rate. The plants should have healthy foliage, strong trunks and an established root system. The trunk should not be languished or covered with Brown foliage. Dracaena should be watered regularly and any meeting of excess water must be drained and discarded. Too much water will cause that the stems soft and possibly rot. Plants require minimal maintenance and must be desempolvadas occasionally.

Photos (Epipremnum aureum): Pothos are originally native to Southeast Asia and are very suitable for indoor climates. Green varieties grow well with inner solar light, indirect. Miscellany varieties need at least an average amount of sunlight. Normal temperatures between 60 and 75 degrees are the best climate for growth. Something more than an increase or decrease in these temperatures can cause the plant require more water and move to a warmer location. The plant can be weekly misted and don't mind a little extra moisture. Make sure that the soil drains well between each irrigation. Spider mites can cause yellow leaves and become rough. The plant of spraying with insecticides or increase the level of humidity should deter any return spider mites. Pothos must be fertilized every month with a water soluble plant food. These plants grow quickly and should be pruned accordingly again.

Peace Lily (Spathiphyllum clevelandii): Plant of excellent filter, removing pollutants such as formaldehyde, gasoline and carbon monoxide. Peace lilies prefer low natural light and grow well in the interior. The plant has been known to grow in the open air in shaded areas, in hot and humid climates. Peace lilies do not require large amounts of water unless the interior temperatures are warm and indirect exposure to the Sun exceeds more than five hours a day. Soil and root system must be soaked at least once a week and allowed to drain properly. You can indicate if your plant is not getting adequate amounts of water. Too much water will do that to constantly moist soil and leaves become yellow; While incoherent irrigation shows signs of leaves wilted and yellow foliage of tip. The plants can be fertilizadas with a 20-20 - 20 water soluble fertilizer; too much application will result in Brown spotted foliage. Pests and diseases are quite common with peace lilies, but can be controlled with care and maintenance. The Peace Lily transplantation can be everything you need. Peace lilies are also instructions for simple deletion. Remove any spent flowers and leaves of discoloration. These low-maintenance plants can also survive in hydroponic containers. Enjoy plant while that clean the air.
