1, aloe vera
My mother has kept a pot of aloe vera for many years. My mother said that she keeps aloe vera for many reasons, mainly because aloe vera is a very nourishing flower.
Speaking of aloe vera nourishing people, first of all, aloe vera is particularly good at purifying indoor air. It is called a little expert in purifying air by flower lovers. Secondly, at night, it will also release fresh oxygen and absorb indoor carbon dioxide. The third point is that the aloe vera gel in aloe vera can not only be applied to the face, but also to the hair, which has the effect of beautifying and moisturizing. Point 4: Aloe vera also has the effect of clearing away heat and detoxifying. The aloe vera gel in it is made into dishes or noodles, which is very good for the body. Point 5: Aloe vera is particularly easy to grow.
Speaking of aloe vera, it is easy to grow, mainly because when growing aloe vera, you do not need to water too much, because it is a succulent plant . If you water it too much, it is easy to cause root rot.
Aloe vera is not strict with sunlight and can be used in bright places or places with scattered light. During the three seasons of winter, spring and autumn, it can also be kept in sufficient sunlight.
2, Peony Chlorophytum
Peony Chlorophytum is also called Heart-leaf Sunflower , and also called edible Andrographis paniculata. It has the effect of clearing away heat and detoxifying, so every time my mother gets angry, she will pinch a piece of Chlorophytum peony and put it in her mouth to chew. In fact, peony and spider plants can also be used in stir-fries or cold dishes, and they have the effect of clearing away heat and detoxifying.
In addition, the peony and spider plant is also very good at absorbing harmful indoor gases. Keeping it indoors at home can make the air fresher, so my mother said it is a health-preserving flower.
Peony and spider plants are not only beautiful to look at, but they also clear away heat and detoxify. The key is that they are easy to cultivate. Because its leaves are fleshy, it is particularly drought tolerant and does not require too much water.
only needs to be kept in a place with more sunshine. In summer, it can bloom many beautiful flowers, which are beautiful and nourishing. In order to make it bloom, you only need to use potassium dihydrogen phosphate, that is, water it every 7 to 10 days. Because potassium dihydrogen phosphate has the effect of promoting flowers, it can make the leaves of the peony and spider plant plump and beautiful, and the flowers will be abundant and bright.
3, geranium
In my mother’s house, there is a pot of geranium that has been raised for many years. Mom said geranium is a health-preserving flower and the secret to longevity.
When it comes to geranium health care, it is mainly because geranium has a calming effect and can make the mood more peaceful. In addition, has the function of sterilizing , making the air in my mother's bedroom fresher, so I always keep this pot of geraniums in my bedroom.
My mother said that in addition to the above, the advantages of geranium also have beauty effects, mainly in the essential oil of geranium.
My mother said that the key is that geraniums are easy to grow. They are a kind of lazy flower and do not require too much watering. If you water it too much, it will only grow leaves but no flowers. So you need to water it again after the soil is dry.
Grow geraniums on the windowsill in the bedroom in winter. There is more sunlight and the temperature is higher, so geraniums can bloom even in winter.
4, Chlorophytum
Chlorophytum has been raised by my mother for many years. Even my spider plants were cut from my mother and have been cut into many pots now.
My mother said that although she has never eaten spider plants, they are very good at purifying indoor air and are called experts in purifying air by many flower lovers. It can also absorb indoor smoke. Because my mother cooks indoors, raising a pot of spider plants can freshen the air, so spider plants are also a health-preserving flower for my mother.
My mother said that spider plants are easy to grow, mainly because they are watered once after the soil is dry. Even a little more water is fine.
In normal times, spider plants can be kept outdoors. In winter, when the temperature reaches 5 degrees, they can be moved indoors. As long as the indoor temperature can reach above 10 degrees, spider plants can grow well.
Final summary
Only then did I know the secret of "longevity" after seeing the four kinds of "health-preserving flowers" of my 80-year-old mother. Her four kinds of health-preserving flowers are aloe vera, peony and spider plant, geranium and spider plant. In fact, my mother also raised a wolfberry tree in the yard, which is also a health-preserving flower. In addition to these health-preserving flowers, which health-preserving flowers do you also like? Do you have any other secrets to longevity?
