Harmful gases sent out by newly-decorated rooms are very annoying. However, these gases can be absorbed and the air can be purified by some flowering woods, which are very popular among people and called jokingly by some decoration technicians as "decoration plants".

In addition to its good-looking appearance, scindapsus aureus can absorb various harmful gases. The air quality of a newly-decorated room will be improved in a few days if there are one or two scindapsus aureus.

Bracket plant, African daisy, epiprnum aureum, aloe and sansevieria mainly absorb formaldehyde; bracket plant can absorb carbonic oxide.

Hedera helix, sago cycas and chrysanthemum can absorb formaldehyde and benzene contained in plywood and wallpapers;

Rosa chinensis can absorb sulfur dioxide (should be used with caution by patients with respiratory disease);

Dragon tree, daisy and evergreen can remove ethylene.

Lily, yucca elephantipes, cactus can absorb carbon dioxide; monstera deliciosa can absorb carbon dioxide at night; evergreen and daisy can absorb trichloro ethylene; pleione and asparagus fern can absorb various harmful gases.

Why can these flowering woods absorb harmful gases? According the explanation of the botanist, "plants usually absorb substances through sight leaf-stretching. Experiments proved that both plant roots and soil bacteria make significant contribution to the elimination of harmful gases in addition to the plant leaves."

Customers buy green plants back home to beauty the environment. In these days, some of these plants are placed in the newly-decorated rooms and some are placed in the office to purify the air-two birds are killed at once. Why not buy one now?
