[Function of Brazilian wood] What are the functions of Brazilian wood?
First, the role of Brazilian wood
Eight Simu has a positive feng shui effect on families with south gate. The gate in the south belongs to fire, so we should plant plants belonging to fire and plant dragon blood tree to increase the positive energy of fire. At this time, the dragon blood tree can be placed at the entrance of the living room, the corner of the hall or next to the stairs, which is conducive to regulating the health of people's heart and stomach, and also has a regulating effect on some people's negative personalities such as introversion, timidity, lack of courage and lack of confidence in life.
From the perspective of geomantic omen, it is beneficial to the development of family members. The geomantic omen in the living room is related to the harmony of the family, to the cultivation of interpersonal context, and will eventually affect the fortune and prospects of the family. Small and medium-sized potted plants or flower arrangements are usually the main methods to avoid large potted plants, so as not to attract mosquitoes and feel oppressive. Special festivals can be arranged simply. Families who are busy at work on weekdays can choose green foliage plants to relieve stress, and holidays can be decorated with colorful flowers and leaves. It's just right to put two dragon blood trees here.
Second, matters needing attention in winter maintenance of Brazilian wood
Improper maintenance in winter often leads to the following problems: drooping leaves, dim leaves and no improvement after watering. Most of these problems are root rot caused by too much or too little watering. At this time, the rotten roots should be removed. If the pile at the bottom is rotten, it can be sawed off, soaked in 2‰ potassium permanganate water 10-30 minutes, and buried in well-drained matrix soil mixed with sand or ashes. If the heart of the leaf bud turns black and gradually decays, it is because the temperature is too low, mostly caused by freezing injury. If the skin of the stake is not rotten, it can also be moved to a place with high temperature to promote new buds and remove the old buds for renewal. The edge of the blade is burnt or dry, and some of it is caused by air drying, which can be improved by spraying water on the blade frequently. Part of it is caused by low temperature and slow dormancy. The optimum temperature is 20-25℃ (growth slows down below13℃ and frostbite occurs below 5℃). The yellow stripes of leaves fade because the indoor light is too dark, and proper sunlight can change them.
Third, are the flowers of Brazilian wood poisonous?
The flower of Brazilian wood itself is not poisonous, but it is too strong. When they bloom, it is best to move outdoors or to a place with more space. Traditional Chinese medicine can be extracted from the leaf base, stem and branches of Brazilian wood, which has the effect of hemostasis. Chinese medicine is called dragon's blood, so it is nontoxic. Brazilian wood is a kind of precious wood, which symbolizes good wishes in Africa. The aroma of Brazilian wood comes from oil cells in flowers, which can secrete aromatic oil. When these fragrant oils diffuse in the air, with the help of the sense of smell, we will feel comfortable fragrance. In addition, it also contains a substance called "sugar conjugate", which can also emit a light fragrance that people like during decomposition. But there is no data to show that the aroma of Brazilian wood is toxic. Only some people who are weak or allergic to pollen and flowers should pay attention. Better move the flowers out of the living room.
Therefore, Brazilian wood can be domesticated and can purify the air to a certain extent. However, if the shape of plants is too large, it is best not to put them in the bedroom, because plants will absorb oxygen and spit carbon like people at night.
