So, what are the benefits of breeding succulents? The following is a detailed introduction to the benefits of breeding succulents.
The benefits of breeding succulents
1, the most suitable for lazy people to raise plants
As succulents grow in arid areas, so the demand for water itself is not large, generally indoor breeding, 7-10 days watering once can be, summer is the dormant period, can be half a month watering once, like these varieties of raw stone flower, summer is dormant, can be 1 month watering once. So whether you are often not at home or a lazy person, succulent plants do not need your careful care can grow as healthy.
2, less watering, not easy to get dirty house
3, radiation protection
Some succulents have an anti-radiation effect, for most of us at work this is a good thing, we can keep some succulents in front of the computer desk to prevent radiation.
4, the succulent form of a variety of changes, can meet a variety of aesthetic needs.
Of course, compared with the relatively tall herbaceous woody, will be dwarfed, depending on personal preferences.
5, mini and small home furnishings
The most important thing is to have a small and delicate pot, put it in front of the computer desk, put it on the coffee table, put it on the TV stand, put it on the bookshelf…. … wherever you put it, anyway, it just does not take up space, and beautiful.
6, purify the air, release oxygen
Succulent plants and other plants are the opposite of respiration, ordinary plants are photosynthetic release of oxygen during the day, the night release of carbon dioxide. While succulents are closed respiratory during the day, and absorb carbon dioxide at night to release oxygen. Since they grow in hot and dry areas, they close their stomata during the day to avoid water loss, and open them at night to absorb CO2 and then form malic acid in the large vesicles, and release CO2 during the day for photosynthesis. This unique metabolic method is called “chenolic acid metabolism”.
7. The chenolic acid metabolism of succulents is very suitable for indoor growing.
In addition, the roots, stems and leaves of succulent plants have strong functions.
I. Root function – absorb organic nutrients in the soil: nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium and other rare elements and water, the function of fastening the plant. Loose potting soil: water storage, root rot prevention, root growth.
Second, the function of the stem – to transport up and down the production, absorption of nutrients, to support the function of the plant.
Third, the function of the leaf – succulent leaves have four special functions.
1, warehouse, storage of water and nutrients.
2、Produce chemical fertilizer under photosynthesis.
3, the surface of the leaf has a thin layer of water evaporation of the waxy skin.
4, respiration, the surface of the leaf is covered with a lot of tiny stomata can be closed, divided into two groups, one group works during the day, releasing oxygen to inhale carbon dioxide, closed at night. One group works at night, releasing oxygen to inhale carbon dioxide, closed during the day. This function is not possessed by other plants (except a few plants). Therefore, putting Xian and Duo indoors both day and night plays a role in purifying the air.
