Can yew be placed in the bedroom?

Yew is a very good plant. Many people will buy yew bonsai and put it in the living room. It can not only increase the vitality of the living room, but also help purify the air, allowing people to live in a healthier environment. So can yew be placed in the bedroom? Although yew has certain benefits, the bedroom is a place for rest after all, and people need to stay in the bedroom for a long time. There are concerns that placing yew in the bedroom may have some bad effects. Let's analyze whether yew can be placed in the bedroom.

Yew can purify the air.

Yew can purify indoor air very well and absorb indoor toxic gases, such as formaldehyde during the decoration of a new house. At the same time, yew itself can absorb carbon dioxide and release oxygen. It is a natural oxygen bar that can be used day and night. It belongs to the CAM tree species, which can prevent respiratory diseases and keep the air clean and safe. Modern environmental monitoring has proven that yew can absorb many toxic gases, such as sulfur dioxide and carbon monoxide, into the body and purify indoor air.

Yew can be placed in the bedroom.

Yew trees inhale carbon dioxide and exhale oxygen 24 hours a day, and at the same time release a negative oxygen gas, which can not only purify the air, reduce inflammation and kill bacteria, but also enhance human resistance and prevent diseases after being inhaled, which is beneficial to human health. At the same time, it has the ability to repel mosquitoes and insects, and it evaporates the odor molecule - citronellal. The higher the temperature, the more volatile fragrance molecules are, and the better the mosquito repellent effect is.

How to cultivate yew bonsai

1. Soil: The soil for growing yew should be loose, rich in humus, water-retaining, fertilizer-retaining and breathable. A mixed matrix made of peat soil, perlite and loam can be used. Clay is not breathable and sandy soil has poor fertilizer and water retention properties, so they are not suitable for use.

2. Light: Yew likes a cool growing environment. It should be properly shaded during the cultivation process and should not be placed in a place with direct sunlight, as this will cause the moisture of the yew to evaporate quickly, causing the branches and leaves to become dehydrated and the leaves to dry out. ,

3. Fertilization: When applying fertilizer, try to apply it along the wall of the pot and avoid applying it close to the roots of the yew. Generally, the newly bought yew bonsai has its own nutrient soil and does not need to be fertilized in the first 3 months, and can be fertilized after 2 to 3 months.

4. Watering: If the leaves of the yew tree appear droopy, you should water it. If the leaves droop, it indicates severe water shortage. In addition, you can also judge whether it needs watering by knocking on the pot and listening to the sound. If the sound is very hollow when you knock on the pot, it means the soil is dry and it is time to water it.

5. Pruning: When the lower branches of the yew bonsai grow too densely and the leaves turn yellow and fall off, you can trim off some of the dense branches at the bottom. You can cut them into umbrella, tower, round and other shapes. ,

6. Repotting: After about a year of cultivation, the yew seedlings will gradually grow larger and the root system will develop, so they need to be transplanted and repotted. When repotting, you can smash the old pot, but do not damage the original soil ball. After moving it into the new pot, water it in time to allow the roots to take hold so that the yew roots and the soil are closely integrated.

7. Pests and diseases: Under normal circumstances, there are very few pests in yew cultivation. If the yew is found to be withered or suffering from pests and diseases, you can water or spray it with thiophanate-methyl or potassium dihydrogen phosphate.
