The fine dust attack is getting more serious by the day.
“Can you breathe freely?”

“My son came home from playing on a day full of fine dust, and the wad of tissues was soaking red from the blood he spilled.

That scene made me who I am today.

In South Korea, where the level of fine dust, a Class 1 carcinogen, rises above “very bad” every day, and where we have to go to work every morning hearing the weather forecaster’s warning to always wear a mask.
Can you breathe with peace of mind? This book chronicles the struggles of an ordinary mother who declared war on fine dust after witnessing her son's nosebleeds on days when fine dust levels were high.
She had even considered emigrating because of health problems caused by the increasingly serious fine dust, but leaving her home country where she had lived for half her life was not an easy task.
The author, surrounded by his loving family and friends, decided to try something new, and began studying and researching in various fields.
Finally, after NASA scientifically proved the air purifying ability of plants through experiments and announced that the 'eco plant' was excellent for indoor air purification, people began to bring in plants solely for the purpose of indoor air purification.

As the house is filled with plants like a greenhouse, even when the concentration of ultrafine dust outside is 50㎍/㎥, the indoor air concentration is only about 5㎍/㎥, so you can enjoy fresh air.
Even though I don't clean it every day, the dust is barely visible.
And that's not all. Even in the dry winter, there's no need for a separate humidifier, and the fresh green of plants brings a sense of psychological stability, helping maintain composure.
As I began to feel the effects on my skin, I naturally began to look for more plants that could be grown indoors and became more interested in how to take good care of them.

How do plants remove fine dust? It's said that 70% of fine dust is removed from the leaves, and 30% from the roots.
If it sticks to the upper surface of the leaf, it is absorbed into the wax layer and removed, and if it sticks to the back of the leaf, it is absorbed into the stomata and disappears.
Additionally, the roots of plants also have the ability to remove fine dust, so allowing the roots to breathe will be more effective.
If you have a flower pot with a drip tray, empty the water often, and if the drip tray is attached right under the flower pot, place small stones between the drip tray and raise the flower pot to allow ventilation.

If I had to pick two plants that grow well anywhere, they would be Spathiphyllum and Scindapsus.
First, place these two plants throughout the house.
You can arrange 10 small pots, but that makes watering a hassle.
The water keeps overflowing.
It is good to put the water in a wide but shallow pot.
When humidity is high, it is better to plant it in soil.
A windowsill is also a great place.
Even Skindapsus grows well on bookshelves.

The thing I worried about most when I increased the number of potted plants at home to 200 wasn't the maintenance issue.
Rather, the question was how to arrange them beautifully.
So I solved that problem by creating several small flower beds.
Creating a flower bed with multiple flower pots is a great way to achieve proportion, balance, and rhythm.
Plant styling must include ‘unity, proportion, balance, symmetry, and rhythm’.
Remember.
This is an aesthetic standard that can be equally applied to the arrangement of various objects inside the home, not just plants.
If you rearrange the same furniture and household items according to these five elements, you will feel a 180-degree change in the atmosphere.

Plants, like MC Square, also increase alpha waves in the human brain, thereby enhancing concentration.
Alpha waves are a type of brain wave that occurs when a person's brain is calm and relaxed.
In a 2010 study on measuring brain wave changes through colored light, it was proven that alpha waves increased in the brains of people who viewed blue and green light.
So, if you fill the room of children who study with green plants, alpha waves will be activated, which will make them feel comfortable, relieve stress, and improve their memory.
The effect of negative ions generated from plants is also great.
It removes various pollutants such as fine dust and chemicals, and enters the body through the skin and breathing to promote metabolism.
Plants that produce a lot of negative ions include coral trees, philodendrons, palm trees, and peace lilies.

If you are a beginner, start with a water stand.
If you want to grow plants but don't have the courage, a good way to start is to use a watering can.
Dishes, cups, and 2L plastic bottles that are not used in the kitchen are also good.
Buy a port of SkinDapsus, plug it in, and place it in front of your vanity.
Even if you don't have a place to grow plants, you can still have a small area, like 10×10cm.
The space above the bathroom toilet is also a good space to save.
If you let go of the stereotype that plants must be placed on the floor, you can find many places to put them, such as on the sink or at the head of the bed.
You can hang it from the ceiling, tie it to a towel rack in the bathroom with a string, or if you really don't have anywhere to put it, just attach the plastic bottle flower pot to a window with OPP tape.

No matter how pretty the people around you say it is, only you know whether this plant is amplifying good energy waves for you or causing you to feel strangely stressed and frown.
This is why it is difficult to recommend a specific plant to everyone, like salt or water, saying, "This is good for everyone."
As someone who loves art, when people ask me what kind of art they should buy, I advise them to start with small paintings, and the same goes for plants.
Start by feeling sensitively whether something is giving you good energy or not, and try starting with a small plant.
As you feel yourself getting better and more confident, it might be a good idea to try a bigger pot.
Look at pictures of several plants, choose a few, and ask yourself if the real thing gives off the same energy.

When watering a potted plant, make sure the soil is completely dry, then water thoroughly to moisten the roots.
After doing this several times, you will find that the amount is just right - the water reaches the bottom of the pot but never overflows.
How do you know when the soil in a pot is completely dry? If no dirt comes out when you insert a wooden chopstick into the pot, it's completely dry.
After repeating this a few times, you will get the hang of it without having to poke the pots one by one.
