Effect of indoor plants on human health

always thought that between man, animals and plants is an unbridgeable chasm. Recent research is giving rise to strongly doubt. "Plants are not so different from people - believe biologists from the UK. They can see, feel touch, smell, y They have a hearing and even taste ".

Instead of eye plants have proteins that are subtly respond to any radiation energy. The roots of plants are found taste enzymes that are under the ground to help find the "delicacies" such as fungal spores. With the smells plants communicate with each other. Plants hear. It was proved by experiments, so communicate with their pets and they will thank you with its lush growth and flowering. Plants perceive and respond to music at her. Flowers have certain musical tastes. Cyclamen like jazz, mimosas and hyacinth - prefer Tchaikovsky, and evening primrose, phlox and tobacco - Wagner.

Plants may suffer emotional stress and are able to think that was proven in experiments by scientists. Between man and plant established by the invisible connections that occur in stressful situations. It happens that when a loving flowers boss is sick, then they begin to wither, and if he dies, and the flowers are dying. It is assumed that the "brain" in plants is at the root of the neck, which has the ability to open and close, like the heart muscle.

Many trees are able to make us healthy. Aspen, poplar, cherry relieve pain from bruises, burns, pain, radiculitis pi, after surgeries and injuries, and cancer. Oak, birch and pine give vitality. They should come every day and stand 3-4 minutes, leaning the trunk of a neck and back, or hugging a tree with his hands.

To find out which tree "your", cut a strip of foil and bring to a tree. If sticky, mean - yours is repelled - the "enemy." A better use of small light dies - transverse saw cut the trunk with a diameter of 12 cm and 2 cm thick, which must be applied to the sore spot.

Plants - our silent friends and helpers, wonderful healers and healers. They give people irreplaceable oxygen absorb harmful gases and substances that retard the dust, save from the city noise. Indoor plants create the necessary psycho-emotional comfort, so in the interior and the home environment they occupy an important place.

Animals, birds and plants in the house - sensitive guardians of security and peace of mind.

One of the tips that give professionals videoecology lies in the fact that people in the room where they are long, sure to make plants. The choice of indoor flower - it is art. Plants, like people, have their own habits. But in addition, depending on the sign of the Zodiac which belongs to one or another flower, they have a pronounced impact of bioenergy and can affect our lives. Zodiac properties plants have been known since ancient times. Any plants may be to us as a most loyal friends and bitter enemies. This largely depends on the energy properties and zodiacal characteristics of the plant. In addition to bio-energy properties, many plants possess useful for us to physical properties. Should Note that all the flowers emit volatile as destructive to disease-causing microbes. Opportunities for recovery of air in the apartment with the help of houseplants simply boundless. When researchers examined the antibacterial properties Amarillis, Agapanthus, ziferantesa, gipeastruma and others turned out that of their volatile fitontsidov some bacteria die faster than the volatile production of garlic.

In order to improve the air in the room is useful to keep such plants as Chlorophytum, myrtle, rosemary, aglaonemu. Asparagus, for example, absorb heavy metals.

Fitontsidnye properties of conifers have long been known. This kriptomeriya, juniper, pine. They also fill your apartment with negative ions. These ions absorb radiation and TVs and computers. Ion composition of air able to recover as saguaro and kodieumy. Water and gas exchange in an apartment can improve plants with large leaves - Dieffenbachia, Anthurium, Philodendron.

Thus, all the plants - creatures with a strong aura, the ability to influence people. That's why home flowers can actively participate in shaping the energy-structure of your home.

Cryptic Clues To Place Names

Cacti.

Cacti - a family of perennial plants with fleshy stems of cacti, most species covered spines. In the wild grow almost exclusively in tropical zones of America.
There are a large number of species cacti, which are bred as ornamental plants in the south in the open ground and in the north - both indoor plants (mostly dwarf species).
Most cacti bloom beautifully. Many cacti are in bloom at the right care every year, some for several months (summer).
Cactus family can be divided into several groups.

Opuntia - cacti, the stems which usually consist of round or oval lepeshkoobraznyh joints, sometimes with a lot of thorns. In indoor conditions seldom bloom. Opuntia, like all cacti have areoles - growth points that are scattered across the surface of the stem, but they have to areoles except for the spines, are very sharp, small, easily detached bristles (glohidii), which easily pierce the skin and pull them out is difficult.

saguaro have a columnar shape. Some are covered with snow-white short or long hairs, others are the beautiful faces of the stem, others - huge flowers, up to 36 cm in diameter; flowering in some species occurs at night, for example, a "Queen of the Night" (hence - the name).

Ehinopsisy, ehinokaktusy and Echinocereus different set of spines (which is why they are often called "ruler" cactus). The more spines, the more beautiful cactus (eg ehinokaktus Gruzona). Many of them bloom in the indoor environment.

Mammillyarii - papillary cacti are diverse forms of and the thorns are blooming beautifully.

Epifillyumy - plants with remnevidnymi, krupnozubchatymi, flat stems and large flowers of various colors.

Zigokaktus and ripsalidopsisy , also known as Schlumbergera - ploskochlenistye bushes, abundant and beautiful bloom in winter (December) and early spring.

Rhipsalis - highly branched viminalis or leaf-shaped bushes, need a moist atmosphere, some shade and a higher temperature than other cacti. The flowers are rather small, but heavy. They grow more like ampelnye unusual plants.

Pereskia have this leaves, their belonging to the cactus issued numerous areoles with spines. Cacti and some saguaro often serve to graft them cacti with weak roots.

For all cacti land must necessarily be light, porous, permeable to air and water. Most cacti need a slightly acidic soil, the most suitable soil is a mixture of turf and leaf of land with river sand, with the addition of finely broken crocks or brick and wood coal. Cactus with white spines, pubescent to add ground limestone, chalk, pieces of marble. For epifillyumov, Zigokaktus and Rhipsalis necessary nutrients loose humous soil mixed with sand and coal.
must make sure that water does not stagnate in pots. It is desirable that all low pot was filled up by 3-4 cm layer of fine shards, while on the crocks are not well pour sand and fine gravel (pea-sized) and add a little crushed charcoal.
watering cactus should not often. The young plants need moisture to much more than the old ones. In winter, they should be watered as less often (once or twice a month), but watch out that the land does not dry (do not turn into dust or did not do quite solid). If excessive watering in winter and a sufficiently high temperature in the rooms of the plant can go into growth, but due to lack of light shoots are elongated and weak. Dry the adult cacti difficult, but from too much water they can easily rot. Decrease watering in winter still does not give the cactus required rest period. This requires a lower temperature, which is easy to achieve, fenced in with cactus on the windowsill room with a piece of glass or plastic film. The best temperature for cacti during the winter 5-8 ° C.
spring and summer should see to it that was not wetted only the top layer, and the whole earth com. It is better not to water on top, and plunge the pots in three quarters in a bowl with water. When the earth's surface appears wet spot, a pot should be removed. Such watering is sufficient to carry out 1 time per week, in the heat - 2 times a week. Water from the saucer should be drained. It is also recommended during the summer in the early morning and evening, spray cactus fine, mist spray.
Most cacti - light-loving plants need sunlight. Without the sun cactus not blooming. However Rhipsalis grow best in shade and can not tolerate direct sunlight. Young plants, especially seedlings should be protected from the sun (tissue paper, gauze, etc.).
summer, cacti grow well outdoors, they can dig along with the pot into the soil in partial shade, and even better in parnichok, where they will be protected from rain and wind, and slightly priteneny.
for normal development of cactus just need fresh air, so do not forget about room ventilation even in winter.

AMPELNYE (SUSPENDED) PLANTS - a group of plants with long, hanging, prostrate or creeping stems. Their name comes from the German "ampel" - hanging flower vase.

usually perennial tropical and subtropical herbaceous or evergreen dekorativnolistnye beautiful flowering plants.

Ampelnymi plants make out shelves, racks, plants hung from the windows or on brackets along the walls in decorative pots or baskets. Ampelnyh shoots of plants can travel along and over the ground, rooting at the nodes. Thus, some of them (Pyla, tradescantia, selaginella, helksina) can used as a groundcover.

very effectively looked in hanging vases plants, generators numerous hanging mustache (dyusheneya, saxifrage, Chlorophytum, epistsiya).

Ampelnye plants (except succulents - suholyubivyh plants) should be watered daily and sprayed water at room temperature, once a week to immerse the pots in water to well wet earth com.
ampelnye Many plants have aerial (adventitious) roots in the interstices, designed for attaching to a support, and moisture absorption. In no case can not prevent them from dying from drought. Very arrangement gives a good effect around the plant containers with water, which evaporates, moistens the air.

ampelnye transplanted plants need each year spring in a fresh ground.
Otherwise care ampelnymi plants the same as for other houseplants.

Below is a list ampelnyh plants. Certainly, it is not full. With other species of plants belonging to the group ampelnyh can be found in our photo gallery and directory.

Dekorativnolistvennye: asparagus, begonias, Boudreau (catnip), Tradescantia, saxifrage otpryskonosnaya, plektrantus southern selaginella bluish, Zebrina hanging, Ficus repens and take root, Chlorophytum crested.

flowering: ahimenes, dyusheneya (fragariya), bell ravnolistny ("groom" and "bride") kolumneya, thyroid pelargonium, fuchsia, eshinantus.

Succulents: aporokaktus pletevidny, groundsel crescent and Rowley, Rhipsalis Kassites, Sedum (Stonecrop), tseropegiya Wood.

Handmade Snooker Cues

carnivorous plants

carnivorous plants are considered a miracle of nature. Living in areas with lack of nutrients in the soil, they have developed unique to the plant world strategy for survival - the ability to catch and eat the live prey.

There are 450 species of plants belonging to 6 families, they can be found all over the world in a variety of habitats. Because these predators feed on plants mostly small insects, then they are called insectivores.

"pitchers" - trap

These plants use various tricks to lure prey. Edge and interior wall catching the leaves of some of them painted bright red, while others produce sweetener. In sarratssnii (Sarra cenia) on the neck of jug there are long hairs directed downward, not allowing an insect to get out. There are two possible explanations for why the production did not crash out of the trap: stupefying substance in the sugary liquid and quickly soporific prey, or overhanging lid, which confuses the insect.

Inside jug glands secrete enzymes that accelerate the dissolution of the flesh of an insect. But there are insects that can exist within such a jug. The larvae of the mosquito Wyeomyia smitbii actually live in a purple jug sarratsenii (Sarracenia purpurea), while adult insects can fly into and depart freely there. Spider Misumenops nepentbicola also often arranges his or her home.

slam trap

most famous example of such a trap is Venus flytrap (Dionaea muscipula). The trap is formed at the end of the leaf stalk acts as a hinge, and the sheet forms two prongs fringed lobes. On each of them contains sensitive hairs actuating the trap.

This occurs when the insect is disturbed by one of the hairs. But only when you touch a hair of the second base Plants received a sufficiently powerful electrical pulse, causing the trap shut.

trap closes very quickly - within a one-fifth of a second. Calling each other the teeth are closed tightly, and a small insect can even get out. Then the trap is opened Again, not to spend valuable digestive fluid in small, not very nutritious prey. But if you come across a large prey, the trap slowly closes for several hours until the victim is completely crushed.

sticky traps

sundew (Drosera it Drosophyllum), zhiryanki (Phiguicula) and rosolisty (Byblis) use adhesive substance. Once the insects settle on the leaves, they get stuck in a sugary liquid, stands out stipitate glands of the leaves. Trying to escape, the victim makes neighboring hairs to bend toward the source of motion and the result is even more firmly grasped.

suction traps

bladderwort (Utricularia and Polypompbolyx) grow in the ponds. They can either float freely or to take root. With their leaves hanging bubbles with opening, closing svobodnopodveshenny valve. Special glands pump out of the bubble, almost all the water that the valve remains tightly closed by the pressure of water outside. Then, the sweetener that attracts prey, and at the same time strengthens the valve. Setae directed prey to the valve, which instantly opens at the touch of a victim signal hairs. Pressure causes the valve to open inward, and extraction with water is sucked into a bubble. Further, the valve rapidly closes, the water is pumped out, and starts the digestion of the catch.

Traps-rachevni

In shallow water, close to hand, foot, often find Genlisea - small free-floating and slightly submerged outlet. Catching the leaves of this plant have a short petiole, divided into two leaving the water tube. The entire length of the spiral tube is slit along the inner surface, which is a series of inward hairs. Glands located on the outer edge, was isolated mucilage. Small aquatic organisms are directed hairs inside the trap, where they can no longer escape.
