What plants are best for a nursery?

The era of the Great Geographical Discoveries is the period due to which the concept of "indoor plants" appeared, which allowed green pets to decorate a person's dwelling for more than one century and delight him with the unusual appearance and beauty of inflorescences. Today, plants grown in pots and greenhouses are an adornment not only for home windowsills. Indoor flowers at school are not only a mandatory element of landscaping, but an important component of the aesthetic education of children, their physical and mental activity.

Sansevieria, or "mother-in-law's language"

Sansevieria is an unpretentious plant with beautiful decorative leaves and white small flowers. There are many varieties and types of sansevieria with different patterns on the leaves. Grows well and quickly, but likes to be looked after and often wiped with leaves. When the plant breathes, it cleans the air of substances emitted by furniture or floor coverings.

Any citrus tree can be grown independently by sowing a seed from a store fruit in a pot. A lemon, tangerine or orange tree will be the best decoration for a child's room. The exotic plant will eventually turn into a pretty tree, and under optimal conditions, it will bloom and bear fruit.

Lemon tree leaves saturate the air with essential oils that have bactericidal properties and kill pathogenic viruses and microbes. It will be interesting for the child to observe the growth and development of citrus.

Lemon tree can even bear fruit with proper care.

Kalanchoe

Any kind of Kalanchoe can be placed in the children's room. All representatives of this numerous genus have the ability to cleanse the air of bacteria, stop bleeding and accelerate wound healing:

• Kalanchoe Blossfeld with minimal care will delight you with bright inflorescences of red, yellow or orange color;

One of the most beneficial indoor plants is chlorophytum.

Violet

Violets are the perfect choice for a girl's room. They are non-toxic, unpretentious and feel great even on northern windows. A huge number of sapolias with different colors and shapes of leaves and buds allows you to create an original floral arrangement. By placing pots with different varieties on the window, you can admire the flowering of violets all year round.

A violet can be grown from just one leaf

Cypress

The cypress is similar in shape to a miniature herringbone, but, unlike it, has a soft, scale-like needles. This tree is called a green vacuum cleaner for its ability to accumulate dust, harmful substances and bacteria in the air on the surface of the branches. In order for the flower to effectively cope with this task, it is recommended to regularly bathe it in the shower. Cypress saturates the air with phytoncides, useful for the respiratory system (especially for children suffering from frequent bronchitis and bronchial asthma).

Cypress cleans the air perfectly

Decembrist

The Decembrist belongs to the genus of forest cacti that do not have thorns.

Christmas cactus (Schlumbergera) in pot

Its jointed leaves are attached to each other to form a dense, lush bush. It usually blooms in winter before the New Year holidays, covered with numerous buds of white, red, pink or crimson.

So that the blooming Decembrist does not throw off the flowers, from the moment the buds appear, you cannot turn the pot relative to the cardinal points or rearrange it to another place.

Begonia

Begonia has the ability to release essential oils into the air, which are useful for the respiratory system. For a baby, the neighborhood with such a flower will be beneficial not only from a medical, but also from an aesthetic point of view.

Hibiscus

Indoor hibiscus, or Chinese rose, attracts the eye with its shiny foliage and brightly colored, odorless buds. For a children's room, a young copy is suitable, which does not take up much space. When the bush grows to an impressive size, it can be moved into the living room - the hibiscus will look spectacular in any part of the house.

Hibiscus can grow to a large size, so it needs to be pruned

Tradescantia

To create a green corner in the nursery, you can use ampelous tradescantia. It grows quickly and in 2-3 months it turns from a few small cuttings into a gorgeous plant. Tradescantia has an attractive color: the most common varieties with leaves covered with green, white and purple stripes. The curly beauty will grow well on brightly lit windows and on the north side of the house.

Tradescantia has one drawback - it grows quickly.

Peperomia

Of all the varieties of peperomia for a nursery, it is better to choose a blunt-leaved or clusy-leaved variety. They know how to accumulate a supply of water in the stems and leaves, therefore they do not need frequent watering, spraying and high humidity. According to experienced flower growers, you need to try very hard to ruin peperomia: it will be able to adapt to both a lack of illumination and direct sunlight.

Only 50 types of peperomia can be grown at home

Spathiphyllum

The flower of happiness or female happiness - this is what the people call spathiphyllum. Its shiny foliage looks spectacular both on its own and in combination with other indoor plants.

This flower is also called "female happiness", it is believed that its flowering portends joy

Spathiphyllum cleans and moisturizes the air well, evaporating moisture through numerous leaves. The appearance of flower stalks is considered a good omen, promising mutual understanding between spouses, as well as between children and parents.

You shouldn't try to force the nursery with a lot of pots. It is enough to place 2-3 large specimens or 3-4 small plants in it. Otherwise, at night, when the flowers begin to actively emit carbon dioxide, the child may suffer from a lack of oxygen.

Decembrist

A very famous and popular houseplant, also known as "zygocactus". Many people know it by the name "Christmas star" or "Christmas cactus" because it opens its star-shaped flowers in time for this holiday. I can also refute the opinion that if you rearrange it, it will not bloom. With my mother, it was rearranged several times to different places, it did not affect the flowering, although this is not uncommon for many.

Feasible caring for houseplants is one of the steps on the path of a baby to independence and personality development. He will feel special pride if you entrust him with watering or spraying green "pets", having previously taught these simple manipulations.

Hibiscus, or Chinese rose

This is a truly majestic plant. And in the literal sense of the word. Hibiscus flowers are simply gorgeous, they can be simple or double, like mine. Pink, burgundy, yellow. Not poisonous and has no obvious smell, but tall! It is better to put a young, small plant in the nursery, since an adult reaches a height of 2 m, which is not suitable for any room.

Pros of landscaping in schools

1. Very high noise levels, especially during breaks, are a big problem in school life. Plants can contribute to noise suppression and acoustic comfort indoors. For a subjective improvement in well-being, sound absorption is of great importance, estimated by an average indicator in the frequency range of 250-4000 Hz. Scientists from the Essen Training and Experimental Institute of Horticulture have shown that it is in this frequency range that plants effectively suppress noise. So, for example, in a room of 30 m2, ten specimens of Benjamin's ficus, approx. 1.80 m. Capable of absorbing up to 25% of noise. If we compare the sound insulation properties of ficus and curtains, then three ficus equals 5 m2 of curtains. Research has shown that decorating classrooms with plants plays not only an aesthetic role, but also a lesser-known noise-dampening role.
2. It is during the winter period that low air humidity in heated rooms can cause health problems for both students and teachers. Measurements have shown that air humidity in classrooms from October to March is 15-30%, while the optimal level should be 40-65%. In classrooms where you have to talk a lot, it is the influence of dry air that has a particularly strong effect on the well-being of children. When dry air is inhaled, the mucous membrane of the nose and throat dries up and stops trapping viruses and bacteria. As a consequence, the susceptibility to disease increases, and some show symptoms of allergy and asthma. Plants are able to evaporate up to 97% of moisture.Thus, non-flowering ornamental plants with a very high transpiration rate, such as nephrolepis, fatsia, cyperus, ficus, dracaena, hibiscus, create a comfortable level of humidity in the premises in winter. … Air quality.
3. Scientists have been talking about the effect of plants on the reduction of harmful substances in the air since the 1980s. So, Dr. Wolverton (Dr. Wolverton) in the framework of NASA's program to maintain clean air in closed life support systems proved that some plants are able to filter the air, thereby improving its quality. Many volatile organic substances such as formaldehyde, acetone, toluene, etc., from furniture and building materials get into the air of the room, and can cause headaches, allergies, and skin rashes in a person.

Peperomia

Many parents with often sick babies start this plant in the nursery. It is capable of trapping and destroying pathogenic bacteria in the air. Peperomia is not afraid of the shadow, it blooms often and is not demanding to care for.

Hygiene

For plants to be of real benefit, they need to be taken care of. Now we are not talking about regular watering and feeding, but about basic hygiene requirements. Dust is recognized as one of the main enemies. First, it is a kind of transport for pathogenic bacteria and other microorganisms. Secondly, it is the dust that has settled on the foliage that interferes with the normal processes of photosynthesis, and, therefore, reduces the potential of the beneficial properties of the plant.

To protect houseplants from dust accumulation, it is necessary to wipe the leaves with a damp cloth at least once a week, and take a shower once a month.

The second dangerous enemy is mold. Spores of pathogenic fungi in a "dormant" state will not bring trouble, but when favorable conditions arise, they are able to activate almost instantly and give life to the mycelium. Such conditions can arise in the absence or improper arrangement of drainage, in violation of the water balance and ventilation. Of course, a children's room is not a place for breeding colonies of pathogenic fungi. Therefore, the cultivation of plants should be approached consciously: theoretical training is required.

Choosing plants for the class

When thinking about what flowers you can plant at school, pick up plants from one of the following groups.

Decorative deciduous

Beautiful plants with original shape and color of leaves will transform any office. Will fit into the interior of the class:

• aspidistra, feeling good in the shade;
• dracaena and ginur, which cleanse the air from harmful substances;
• fat women, attractive for their originality;
• sansevieria, undemanding and unpretentious.

Beautifully blooming

But in addition to useful plants, I want beautiful ones, representatives of flowering flowers will become a real decoration:

• cheerful balsams,
• delicate multi-colored Saintpaulias, which we often call simply violets,
• pelargoniums, not only pleasing to the eye, but at the same time having a bactericidal effect.

Ampelny

Hanging ampelous plants are ideal for decorating walls and walls between windows:

• chlorophytums, combining decorative properties with the performance of disinfecting functions,
• scindapsus with shiny glossy leaves;
• burgundy ginur,
• traditional tradescantia,
• evergreen philodendrons.

What plants are better not to use in the nursery

Various plants with poisonous sap that can cause allergic reactions and irritation of mucous membranes, for example, cyclamen can cause severe burns to the delicate skin of a child. Many plants of the millet family are also dangerous, especially specimens with acrid sap and attractive flowers, such as adenium.

Plants with bright and appetizing fruits are not suitable for very young children. A toddler can be attracted to their appearance and make them want to try. Among them, poisonous species are also often found, for example, plants of the Solanaceae family.

It's easy to get hurt on cacti, and some species can even leave a lot of sharp and small needles in the baby's palm.

It is better not to use various types of vines in the nursery. The child can grab onto it in search of support and, at best, drop the plant on itself.

It is good if there are no plants in the baby's room with dense, thin leaves that can be injured - palm, yucca.

You should not use flowers with strong smells - various types of orchids, lilies.

Geranium is a strong-smelling plant and is not suitable for a nursery. But it is useful to keep it at home, since geranium is widely used in folk medicine.

We bring up little gardeners

"Preschoolers" quickly understand how to handle houseplants, if you explain to them and show respect for them by their own example. They are happy to carry out errands for the care of flowers: they diligently loosen the ground, sprinkling everything around, spray the leaves, spread the seeds on a damp surface of napkins or on a roll of toilet paper, and together with their parents, plant cuttings in pots.

They are delighted with their favorite potted flowers, bought especially for them:

• Plants teach children to understand beauty.
• Discover a colorful world in harmony.
• Serve as a source of energy and positive emotionsand parents also enjoy watching the child's immediate joy.
• Plants protect the health of children.
• Contemplation of green plants does not tire the eyes, relieves physical stress, gives rest to the brain, increases self-esteem.

Attention: Research by specialists has found that the behavior of children in green classrooms is changing in a positive direction. They become diligent, more attentive and get sick less.

Ampel flowers for the school office

Flowering ampelous plants are considered the most spectacular, but there are many ampels with beautiful greenery. The most common hanging colors are named below:

• begonia is known to everyone. This flower is colored coral or red and looks like a small chrysanthemum. Ampel begonia can be placed in a flowerpot, hanging flowerpot or in a box on the window.
• Pelargonium is better known as geranium. There are many varieties of this variety, with different inflorescences and shades. Pelargonium is one of the most unpretentious ampels, it is able to withstand strong winds, heat and prolonged absence of watering.
• Lobelia will decorate both sunny and shaded parts of the window. But this ampel needs nutritious soil, it does not grow in loams and sandy loams. Another important point is regular watering.
• Dichondra is one of the green plants that has no flowers. Dichondra scourges reach a length of one and a half meters. It is paved with paths, filling the space between tiles or stones.

For development

Properly selected plants can be a great help in the development of a child. Plant Peppermint, Lavender, Basil, Lemon Melissa with your baby. These herbs are very aromatic and can also absorb harmful impurities. In addition, the child will be able not only to participate in planting - a rather unusual activity for city children, but also to observe the growth of plants on a daily basis. This will enrich his inner world, broaden his horizons. Taking care of your plants will help you develop responsibility.

ON THE PICTURE: Caring for plants will help your baby feel like an adult

By the way, instead of herbs, you can plant some bulbous plants: Hyacinth, Tulip, Crocus, Narcissus. They will feel great in a flowerpot, the main thing is to choose the right soil and not forget about the drainage layer. Of course, these plants cannot be compared with exotic perennials, but they will be an excellent opportunity to introduce your baby to the world around him.

Ficus Benjamin

Benjamin's ficus is considered a useful flower for a child's room. The plant is a tree or tall shrub that forms an upright shoot. Drooping and graceful branches are formed on it. Many branches are formed on the shoot. Thanks to this, the ficus has a beautiful spreading crown. The shoot is light brown or gray in color.

On the branches, pointed-elliptical smooth leaves are formed. They have a uniform green color. Also, the leaf plate of some varieties of this species may have a variegated color. The leaves themselves can be from 6 to 12 cm long. The central vein is clearly visible on the leaf blade. The leaves on the branches sit alternately. It should be noted that young leaves are characterized by a lighter color. Moreover, in young leaves, the leaf blade is thinner.

Like many other indoor plants, Benjamin's ficus effectively absorbs dust and other toxic compounds or chemical mixtures from the air. For example, this flower is capable of absorbing ammonia, benzene and formaldehyde.

Indoor plants chosen for the nursery should not pose a threat to the life and health of children. Above were the listed flowers that can be grown in such premises.

Chlorophytum

This "hello" from the Soviet childhood of many parents is a real orderly for the air: it takes away dust, and instead releases a lot of oxygen. The plant feels equally comfortable both in a regular pot and in a hanging planter, does not require special temperature conditions, and pleases with small white inflorescences during the flowering season. Chlorophytum is absolutely safe even if the child decides to taste it.

Where can one buy: Green Country, IKEA, Auchan, Starlight Cash & Carry, Rakita-flowers. Cost: from 135 rubles.

Fittonia

Fittonia grows slowly, so it is usually a small plant. Fittonia has very beautiful leaves, it is safe for children and animals, but it cannot be called unpretentious: Fittonia is demanding on the air temperature and needs uniform watering (it suffers both with a lack of water and with an excess). Fittonia needs a bright spot, but not bright sunlight, and moist air without spraying.So there is no better place for her than a nursery: this room is usually warm, light, there are no drafts and a humidifier works - everything is how this plant loves.

Lemon or tangerine tree

Growing a citrus plant in a room is much more difficult than caring for unpretentious chlorophytum, but the result is definitely worth it. The essential oils that these trees contain have excellent bactericidal properties. In addition, plants of the citrus family have a calming effect, relieve irritability and fatigue, and even help solve the problems of restless sleep. Finally, a small lemon or tangerine, or even a few fruits ripening on a small branch, usually delight children. To wait for the harvest, you need to carefully look after the plant: regularly water, loosen and fertilize the soil, but even if the tree does not bear fruit, its leaves will still exude a delicate citrus aroma - a real exotic right on the windowsill!

Violet

From a huge number of varieties of this plant, you can choose an option that matches your child's favorite color. Also, babies are usually attracted by the soft rough leaves of violets, but it is important to make sure that the fragile plant withstands the onslaught of childish love. These plants are afraid of direct sunlight: their delicate leaves immediately fade and lose their shape, so they will be a wonderful decoration for a shady corner. Many parents prefer to buy very young violets and, together with their children, grow them to a large size: caring for this capricious "green inhabitant" can teach a child to care and patience.

Where can one buy: "Green Country", "Auchan", IKEA, specialized exhibitions of violets. Cost: from 70 rubles.

Cypress

Children usually welcome him for the resemblance to their favorite New Year's tree. Cypress releases phytoncides (powerful substances in the fight against bacteria and fungi) and literally "pulls" dust from the environment. However, these remarkable qualities of the universal "green soldier" are overshadowed by his capriciousness. The cypress needs abundant watering, does not tolerate direct sunlight, and in winter, due to dry air, it can simply dry out.

Where can one buy: Green Country, IKEA, Starlight Cash & Carry. Cost: 590 rubles.

School color picker options

"A beautiful flower, I want to have one." Most often, it is the type of flower that becomes the main motive for its acquisition. We will learn about the features, methods of care, the originality of a particular representative of the plant world later. When buying a flower for your home, you can do this.

But when thinking about which flowers will be appropriate at school, one cannot be guided only by the pleasant appearance of the plant.

Please read the flower information before buying. When choosing a plant, you need to take into account data on the important properties of flowers.

1. The safety of indoor flowers for children

Make sure that the plant is not poisonous, not capable of causing allergic reactions.

1. The unpretentiousness of the plant and the ease of caring for it

Children are involved in caring for indoor flowers at school. And the guys, under the guidance of a teacher, are happy to water the plants, wipe them, remove dry leaves. However, it should be borne in mind that overly capricious and requiring special care plants will not be able to get this at school.

1. "Revitalizing" effect on the atmosphere of the room

A classroom is a room with daily occupancy of groups of children. Moreover, several such groups are replaced per day. It will be helpful to plant flowers in the school that can have a beneficial effect on the atmosphere. In classrooms, plants are especially valued that affect:

• reduction of radiation from electromagnetic waves,
• increased humidity levels;
• air purification from harmful substances emitted by various plastics;
• antibacterial environmental treatment

Plant growing conditions

When buying an indoor flower for a specific class, ask which side the office windows are looking at, what kind of illumination is in the class, and whether nearby trees or neighboring houses create a shadow.

Think about where the plant will be located. Please note that according to sanitary requirements and standards, nothing should be placed on the classroom window sill that will interfere with natural light. This means that only the smallest flowers can be placed on the windowsill. For the rest, you need to prepare stands, hanging pots, find a place on the shelves of the cabinet.

For interior

As a rule, it is recommended to select plants depending on the size of the room. Small-leaved, small species are advised to grow in small rooms, large tree-like specimens (Monstera, Ficus lyre, various types of Palm trees) - in spacious rooms. However, when arranging a children's room, you need to take into account other factors, namely, the imagination and activity of the kids.

For example, it is worth taking very seriously the possibility of placing a large plant in the baby's room. From about three years of age, children develop their first childhood fears. What an adult will not even notice, the baby will take seriously. The reason for fears can be the shadow of a spreading Monstera or Philodendron. And parents will not even be able to understand what caused crying and unwillingness to go to bed. Older children, of course, do not have such problems.

ON THE PICTURE: Sometimes one large plant is enough for a nursery.

In addition, children are very mobile, they prefer to run and jump even where it would seem impossible. In this case, it is quite easy to knock over or damage the plant that is within reach. Therefore, it is better to refuse large specimens that are on the floor - they will certainly find a place in another room. But small and medium-sized indoor plants will be completely safe on hanging shelves, cabinets, in wall pots or on a wide window sill.

ON THE PICTURE: Example of safe plant placement

It is worth being very careful about the number of plants. Quantity does not always translate into quality. The fact is that most plants consume oxygen at night. Thus, while sleeping in a green-filled nursery, the baby may lack oxygen. Therefore, it is recommended to limit yourself to 2-3 medium-sized plants.

• 6. A few tips in the end

Several requirements are imposed on plants for a nursery at once:

• safety,
• undemanding care,
• beauty.

They should not only fit perfectly into the interior, but also contribute to the development of the child. Correctly selected indoor plants can become indispensable helpers for parents.

Spathiphyllum

If the air in the nursery is very dry, somewhere in the corner you should definitely find a place for this plant with large leaves of rich green color and white flowers. It is noteworthy that experienced “home gardeners” call spathiphyllum “the flower of happiness”, believing that it is able to maintain a friendly and calm atmosphere in the house. This plant is unpretentious, usually grows well and blooms regularly: a child can even take care of it on his own.
