Air and Ventilation

All plants need good aeration to grow and to perform the photosynthetic activity, which is the process by which they absorb carbon dioxide from the outside and release oxygen. A good ventilation facilitates the transpiration through which the plants eliminate the waste products through the leaves, also prevents air from stagnating and prevents the concentration of poisonous fumes, especially in urban environments where the problem of atmospheric pollution should not be forgotten. Then arrange the plants in a well-ventilated place, but be extremely careful not to expose them to direct drafts, which can be harmful and cause the foliage to fall. If the plants are placed close to form a composition, make sure that there is room for air circulation between them. In an air-conditioned apartment, the plants benefit from the filtered and fresh air, but some precautions must be taken to avoid the low humidity level of the air conditioning. To improve ventilation, you can use low-consumption fans to place close to the plants, avoiding, however, that the air hit them directly: the moisture on the leaves would evaporate too quickly and the roots would not have enough time to replace it , causing the plant to dry.
