Precautions for planting
Placement position
African jasmine is a tree species that likes sunshine, and its native environment is semi-cloudy. Once the plant is severely burned, it is difficult to restore its full crown in a short time after the intensity is reduced.
For potted plants placed in indoor public places, it is required to have enough scattered light, or put them near windows, and it is not suitable to put them in too dark places, otherwise the leaves will turn green and yellow, and in severe cases the leaves will fall off.
Environmental effect
The leaves of African jasmine are thick and green, which can give people a pleasant feeling visually. The volatile oil produced by African jasmine has obvious bactericidal effect.
It can relax people, help them sleep and improve work efficiency. Moreover, it is used in medicine and has the efficacy of sterilization and detoxification. On the other hand, these volatile oils can regulate the hormone balance in the body, with a faint fragrance and fresh feeling, which has a good effect on improving the home environment.
However, we should know that all living things need to breathe, and plants also need to release carbon dioxide during the day, but the role of skylights is greater than that of breathing, which is manifested in the release of oxygen in the macro. There is no sunshine at night, and plants only breathe, so the amount of oxygen absorbed is small, and the amount of carbon dioxide released is large, which is macroscopically manifested as the release of carbon dioxide.
For African jasmine, it is fragrant after flowering, and many people like to put it in the bedroom and sleep with the fragrance. However, this may be detrimental to the health of some people. Because the aroma of African jasmine is actually some volatile chemicals with complex components.
Different people have different reactions to the same smell, which is related to the floral composition, concentration, environmental temperature, air velocity, people's physical condition and individual feelings of the plant itself.
If the environmental space is large and the number of plants is small, it may not be a big problem. But for a long time in a rich floral environment, it is easy to cause adverse reactions such as poor breathing, dizziness, nausea and chest tightness.
