Flowers for a children's room for girls. Indoor plants for a children's room: the main thing is to choose the right one. Are plants needed in a children's room?

A children's room, like no other in the house, requires that it have plants. Plants purify the air from various harmful additives and bacteria, and during the light period of the day they enrich the children's air with oxygen. However, not all plants are suitable for a nursery. Their selection must be approached with special care.

Plants that are good for children

– thanks to essential oils, this plant acts as an antiseptic and helps destroy various microbes in the room. However, you should be careful when approaching varieties of fragrant geranium, as its leaves emit a strong odor when touched, which can cause allergies in a child.
Peperomia is the closest relative of our plantain; this plant also has the ability to kill harmful microflora in the air.
Rosemary is an excellent antiseptic that destroys pathogenic bacteria and makes breathing easier. This plant is recommended to be placed in the nursery of children suffering from frequent respiratory diseases.
– these plants have long been used to decorate children’s rooms. Grows quickly and well, decoratively all year round, in the warm season it is decorated beautiful flowers. Feng Shui attributes good energy to this plant, useful for people.
- the closest relative of the hibiscus, the indoor maple is very tender plant with velvety leaves. It also has excellent energy and blooms beautifully, but unlike Hibiscus it requires more careful care.
– a good natural filter that helps maintain humidity in the room.
– this plant is capable of evaporating a huge amount of moisture through its leaves, maintaining the microclimate in the room. This effect is enhanced if the plant stands in water and does not lack it. In addition, elegant cyperus umbrellas can decorate any interior. If there is an aquarium in the nursery, you can also place Cyperus in it.
Gesneriaceae (, Gloxinia, Colleria, Streptocarpus) - plants of this family have beautiful fleecy leaves and bloom very elegantly. In addition, caring for them is not difficult, they are easily propagated by leaf cuttings and may well become the first plant that your child will care for.
– everyone knows this plant with dense leaves and numerous babies on the edges of the leaves. However, there are many types and all of them are medicinal to a greater or lesser extent. A plant that can be used to treat minor scratches will come in handy in your child’s room.
Palm tree is a large plant that can decorate a corner of a nursery. However, its narrow leaves can hurt a child's palm if the child tries to pull the leaf. Therefore, it should be placed in the room of older children.

Plants that should not be placed in the nursery

Cacti - a child can get hurt on the thorns of this plant. In addition, some types of cacti, such as prickly pears, easily separate spines, which are then difficult and painful to remove from the skin.
Poinsettia is a colorful plant that appears in our homes for the New Year. They are used to decorate New Year's interior and even festive table. But like all milkweeds, it contains sap that can cause irritation if it comes into contact with the skin. How can you stop a child from wanting to pick a bright flower?
Jatropha is another representative of the Euphorbiaceae. The beautiful bottle shape of the plant makes it very decorative and now it is fashionable to keep it at home. But the sap of this plant can cause problems if it gets into your eyes. Its seeds are poisonous, so if in the house small child, it is better to remove flower stalks immediately after flowering, preventing the formation of seeds.
Adenium - probably this plant can be classified as the most undesirable plant for a nursery. It has poisonous juice and blooms very beautifully. A child can pick a flower and then the juice will get on his hands, which, if ingested, can cause quite serious poisoning. So keep this flower out of your child's reach.
Solyanum (indoor nightshade) - this plant has very beautiful and, one might say, appetizing red berries. They cannot be called highly poisonous, but if a child eats a lot of them, stomach problems may occur. This plant is best grown in the kitchen along with decorative peppers.
Aroids (, aglaonema, calla, etc.) - have juice that can cause skin irritation. However, as a rule, children do not eat the leaves, as they taste very bitter. And one “tooth test” of such a sheet will most likely not cause any harm to the child.
– also has poisonous juice. The leaves, like those of the aroids, have a very unpleasant taste. So they are unlikely to attract a child. However, beautiful flowers can attract his attention and make him want to pick them. If ingested (child may lick hands) may cause mild poisoning. Therefore, during the flowering period, it is better to remove the plant from the nursery, especially since this plant will bloom much more intensely on the balcony or in the garden.
Ficuses - like aroids, have juice that can cause irritation. However, in reality, having neither bright flowers nor attractive fruits, they cannot harm the child. Well, maybe don’t put it in the room of very young children.
- a plant with very bright leaves, which with their elegance can attract the attention of your child. The leaf juice tastes bitter and may cause irritation.
Barringtonia is a rare guest in our homes. It is usually sold as a sprouted nut planted in the ground. The leaves of the plant are poisonous.
Euonymus – decorative forms This generally outdoor plant is sometimes grown in apartments. The bark contains tannins that cause stomach upset. However, almost only fruits that look very attractive can pose a danger, and there are cases where children ate them in sufficiently large quantities, which led to poisoning.
Gloriosa is one of the brightest and most beautifully flowering vines. The juice of this plant is not irritating, but if ingested it can cause stomach problems.
- absolutely not poisonous, but some varieties have dense leaves with a sharp edge, which can injure a child. So for small children it is better not to place this plant in the room.
- this plant is not poisonous and will not cause any harm to your child. But it is very fragile and all the branches that are on the dracaena are grafts. Your child can easily break this plant and its decorative value will be lost forever. So it is better to place dracaena in a room for older children.

In principle, among those plants that are supplied to our market from Holland, there are no highly poisonous plants. Poisonous plants are found only in private collections, so when purchasing a plant for a nursery from a private collection, do not forget to check whether this plant is poisonous.

Placing plants in the nursery

When choosing plants for a nursery, we must not forget that while releasing oxygen during daylight hours, at night plants, like us, consume oxygen. Therefore, large plants with large leaves– it’s better to leave them for the living room. The window sill can be decorated with beautiful flowering plants.

Plants such as chlorophytum feel great on shelves, hanging down beautiful narrow leaves and shoots with children.

If the size of the nursery allows, you can organize a small green corner by placing a large plant and several smaller ones - for example, a palm tree and a couple of ferns or chlorophytums.

If there is not much space, the wall can be decorated with a beautiful liana (scindapsus or) (don’t be afraid of lianas in the house - Feng Shui treats them very well and widely uses them to improve the energy of the place, especially the corners protruding into the room).

However, a small child often uses almost all objects as support. Which come to his hand. Therefore, when placing plants in the nursery, you need to arrange them so that the child cannot turn them over. Do not place pots on the table where a child can reach them and knock them over. In addition, for the nursery it is worth abandoning decorative ceramic pots, the fragments of which can cause serious injury to the child. It's better to limit yourself plastic pots and then, even if your child drops or turns over the plant, he will not be injured and you will only have to collect the scattered earth.

As you can see, the choice of plants for the nursery is great. And although plants require additional attention, their presence in a child’s bedroom will make his life better and his health stronger! Well, after 5-7 years, the child can already be involved in caring for the plants in his room.

Flowers in pots look good at home and have a positive effect on well-being. Many plants humidify and purify the air. When choosing flowers in pots for a child’s room, you need to remember the safety of children and avoid plants that can harm the child. Find out which flowers are best for a children's room!

When choosing flowers in pots for a child’s room, you need to take into account the stage of development of our child. Babies pay attention to rich colors; slightly older 2-year-olds “explore” the world by touching various items, without thought or by placing them in your mouth. Be careful when choosing colors for your child's room. The slightest inattention, and the child can eat a piece of the plant. More and more older children will enjoy caring for new plants, and they can choose options with interesting colors.

What plants should you avoid in a child's room?

Poisonous indoor plants containing unfavorable chemical compounds that cause disruption of the digestive system, and sometimes the nervous or cardiovascular system. Poisonous houseplants: Dieffenbachia, Anthurium, Raphidophora, Spathiphyllum, Monstera deliciosa, Philodendron, Common Ivy, Euphorbia Mila, Poinsettia (Christmas Star), Croton, Common Oleander or Pink Catharanthus;
Indoor plants with sharp leaves: dracaena, indoor yucca, echmea, tricolor pineapple;
Indoor flowers with thorns: cacti, miniature roses;
Flowers with a strong smell, small allergy sufferers may not tolerate odors well, for example, hyacinth, narcissus, lily, jasmine, hippeastrum.

Fortunately, the range indoor flowers so big that you can't choose life threatening and the health of the child.

Gerbera – interesting flower for a children's room because of the large and permanent flowers on strong stems. There are many colors from cool white to warm red. Blooms from mid-late spring to late summer. Loves bright rooms with a moderate temperature of 16 °C. Gerberas need to be watered when top layer the substrate will dry out. Fertilize during the growth period every 2 weeks with fertilizers for blooming flowers, in winter, during the dormant period, you can completely abandon watering. The plant does not tolerate root damage; it must be replanted carefully.

Peperomia "Luna red" stands out for its corrugated surface, delicate, heart-shaped, dark red leaves. In summer, white inflorescences grow on thin stems. Peperomia prefers a bright place with slightly diffused light and a temperature of 21 °C. It likes economical watering; it is better to water when the top layer of the substrate is dry. Fertilize once a month with special fertilizers.

Chlorophytum is one of the easiest indoor flowers to grow. Prefers a bright place and temperatures in the range of 16-21 °C. In low light conditions, it acclimatizes well. White flowers appear in summer. During the growth period it is necessary to fertilize every 2 weeks; in winter, stop fertilizing. Chlorophytum loves moist soil and spraying. Over-flooding should be avoided. After flowering, shoots grow on the shoots, and over time they produce roots. A child can tear off such a flower and plant it in a separate pot. Thanks to this, the young gardener will gain first experience in plant propagation and a passion for growing may be ignited in him.

Tradescantia hanging is a vigorous growing plant with glossy leaves. Loves bright places and high temperature 16-21 °C. Tradescantia has interestingly colored leaves. You can find varieties with dark green leaves, with silver stripes and a red sheen, or light green with white stripes. Tradescantia is pinched to better compact the shoots. Water regularly, once a week, fertilize once every two weeks.

Nephrolepis Bostonis is an extremely popular fern that is ideal for a child's room. Loves a little shady places must be protected from direct sunlight. Prefers temperatures in the range of 16-21 °C. Nephrolepis needs to be fertilized every 2 weeks, in winter once a month. You need to remember to maintain constant moisture in the substrate in the pot.

Living plants in a child's bedroom create a harmonious, cheerful environment with clean and healthy air. A child, watching the growth and flowering of plants, learns about the world and learns to treat it with care.

In the article, we choose flowers for the nursery from the point of view of safety, improvement of the microclimate, and ease of care.

Requirements for plants:

Nice appearance , pleasing to the eye.

Endurance, quick recovery after possible damage as a result of the games of restless children.

Beneficial effect on air composition:

cleaning from dust and chemical poisons,
hydration,
enrichment with oxygen and phytoncides.

Security measures

When choosing pots or flowerpots, give preference to unbreakable materials. If children accidentally knock over the plant, they will not get hurt. And all you have to do is collect the earth back.

When placing flowers within reach of children, make sure that the pots are as stable as possible, secure them or fence them so that they are out of reach.

Timely care. Green pets are beneficial if they are cared for properly: watered, fed and cleaned of dust on time. Harmful pollutants accumulate in it and are released back into the air.

Not a place in a child's room

All kinds of vines. Their long shoots carry a certain danger. A curious child may simply get confused in them.

Plants that cause allergic reactions:

vines (philodendrons, ivies), monsteras, ficuses, geraniums, ferns, milkweeds, kalanchoe (its juice can cause Quincke's edema in allergy sufferers), catharanthus, rhododendrons (especially during flowering).

In fairness, it should be said that many representatives from the above list are very beneficial for health (geranium, ficus or Kalanchoe), so it should not be perceived as dogma.

Look at the child's well-being. And if you decide to place a Kalanchoe or ficus in the bedroom, then place it so that the children cannot contact them until they are sure that there is no allergy.

Plants with poisonous sap:

milkweeds, ivies, ficuses, philodendrons, oleanders, lamers, dieffenbachias, monsteras, spathiphyllums, adeniums, hydrangeas, gloriosas, begonias.

The juice of these plants can cause skin burns (if you break a branch or tear off a leaf) and poisoning if ingested.

Beautifully fruitful, whose berries can be a temptation to eat them: nightshades (browallias, nightshades, decorative peppers), billardiers, brunfelsias, passionflowers.

IMPORTANT: be sure to instill in your child that breaking, picking leaves and tasting ANY plant is very dangerous.

Strong smell during flowering(the smell may be an allergen):

rhododendrons (azaleas), jasmines, freesias, gardenias, tabernemontans, hyacinths, primroses, pelargoniums, etc.

Many of these flowers are very useful, so they can be taken out of the nursery only at the time of flowering.

Spiny succulents (cacti), long- and holly-leaved plants. Small children can easily injure themselves on sharp edges or thorns, or knock over the pot on themselves by pulling on the long leaves.

But when the child has grown up and began to sit at the computer, the right place for cacti is near the monitor; they perfectly absorb harmful electromagnetic radiation.

Too big flowers(monsteras, dracaenas, dieffenbachias). An attractive appearance during the day can appear frightening to a baby at night.

Plants for a child's bedroom

Lavender and laurel Ideal for children's bedrooms.

Their phytoncides are beneficial for the psyche, calm, slow down the heart rate, relax, and improve sleep.

Even in the old days, it was customary to hang laurel branches at the head of the bed, and put dry lavender under the pillow.

Myrtle, peperomia, eucalyptus, rosemary- these are home healers, they disinfect from germs and enrich the air with phytoncides, make breathing easier, strengthen the protective functions of a child’s fragile body, and help prevent colds. They are recommended to be placed in the bedrooms of frequently ill children.

Myrtle calms restless children, reduces, if any appear. The subtle aroma relaxes and gives a good sleep.

Peperomia- a friendly flower, puts household members in a peaceful, blissful mood, suppresses negativity. All types of peperomia are good, except climbing.

Eucalyptus improves sleep, actively moisturizes the air, promotes rapid recovery from illness. It’s not for nothing that it’s called the “tree of life.” The energy of eucalyptus is powerful, helping to cope with stress and other people's negative influences.

Rosemary frees the atmosphere of the house from low vibrations, brings harmony and love into it.

Sansevieria produces oxygen around the clock, serves as an effective absorber of formaldehyde, benzene, trichlorethylene emitted by furniture, floor coverings, etc. Strengthens the immune system.

Cylindrical (has very strong shoots ending in sharp, strong thorns) and long-leaved (you can get hurt on the sharp edges of the leaves, knock the plant over yourself) sansevieria are dangerous. These types cannot be placed in the room of a very young child.

Chlorophytum- a real fighter for clean air, will work well in housing that has been renovated or recently built.

Absorbs harmful chemicals, produces oxygen, neutralizes radiation from electromagnetic sources. Has a light, joyful energy.

Watch the shoots thrown out in the spring; they should not hang in long strands; cut them off or plant new daughter rosettes in the mother pot.

Spathiphyllum(female happiness, peace lily) - very effective humidifier air and filter for acetone, ammonia, formaldehyde, benzene, trichlorethylene and many other chemicals. Calms, pacifies, pleases the eye.

Although its sap is poisonous, I included the peace lily on this list for its benefits. If you are sure that the child will not taste the plant, will not accidentally break it and will not smear himself with juice, then feel free to place it in the bedroom.

Hibiscus (Chinese rose) will brightly enliven the room. It will clear the air of pollutants and the aura of the room from tension and negative emotions. Calms whims and naughty girls.

During flowering, hibiscus is touchy, does not like to be touched and felt unnecessarily, and if you forget to water, it will not be offended.

Begonia cleanses the atmosphere of bacteria, fungi and other nasties, ionizes and saturates it with essential oils, making breathing and colds easier. Stabilizes the psyche of children.

Important! Any plant, as well as dust on the leaves, mold and fungi on the soil with frequent watering, can cause an allergic reaction. Be attentive to the baby’s well-being and immediately remove the source of the allergy from the room.

Some tips:

Choose plants with your child, taking into account his interests and desires. This step teaches children to take initiative.

Caring for flowers yourself allow children from an early age (from 5 years old). The children get used to work, become kinder, more attentive to nature and people. Communication with green wards develops thinking and normalizes the psyche.

If there is no interest, you can awaken it by purchasing, or better yet making, an original flower pot in the form of a favorite toy (truck, animal) or embodying any other idea.

Resume
