Did you know? The child will be interested not only in the plant itself, but also in the pot in which it will grow. Therefore, it is advisable to choose an unusual, bright, original model or decorate a standard container yourself. You can involve children in this activity.
What should be the plants for the children's room
In the first place in importance, you can put the plant's ability to improve air characteristics. A flower for children should refresh and purify the air, be a source of phytoncides, and have qualities to fight dust and allergens. It is better that the selected culture is devoid of aggressive properties and external indicators. Combined the ability to improve indoor air (rather than absorb oxygen) with a positive appearance (soft lines, visually and tactilely pleasing leaves).
Important! Even very beautiful, but large flowerpots are not suitable for a nursery, as they can scare a child at night in low light.
The child will be curious to examine, twirl, touch the flowerpot. Contacts are inevitable. Therefore, you do not need to buy plants that react negatively to changes in the growing environment, touches, turns.
Give preference to indoor plants that are capable of rapid growth, recovery from injuries, having an attractive appearance in any conditions, they are better suited for children who will definitely try to test flowerpots for strength. You should not opt for plants that are easy to overturn, unstable, classic ampelous.

The stems hang down, so it is perfect for decorating walls. The use of hanging pots, special stands will allow the plant to grow, giving the room a green look.
It is advisable to install tradescantia pots higher - children tend to pick off the leaves. It is especially important if there are pets in the house besides the child.
Some plants cannot be planted in the nursery - this is due to the danger to the child or to the plant. Their main differences can be described as follows.
- Categorically contraindicated varieties of cacti with small, easily detachable spines - there is a risk of significant injury to the baby.
- Plants whose leaves and stems are poisonous (for example, dieffenbachia) are also not suitable for a nursery, especially for a kindergarten. Children have a habit of picking and chewing leaves, if the plant is poisonous, the study of the world around them will end in poisoning.
- The "black list" includes plants with a pungent odor (alokaziya, primrose) - they often become allergens.
Alokaziya - a plant that causes allergies - is not suitable for a child's room.
The main criterion in choosing a plant for a children's room is the safety of the baby. By choosing the "right" indoor flowers, you will avoid a lot of problems and worries.
