Although the role of the silver heart spider orchid is weak, it has a large role in purifying the air.

Magnolia, a kind of Cymbidium, is named because its leaves have a silver-white stripe about 1cm. Silver heart hanging orchid, like other hanging orchids, has a beautiful shape and has become a common ornamental plant in the family. However, the role of silver orchid is not just for viewing, it also has a lot of functions.

Magnolia lanceolata is a perennial herb. With tufted cylindrical fleshy roots and short rhizomes. Leaves basal, striate to long lanceolate, entire or slightly undulate, scape drawn from leaf axils, long 30~50cm, curved to form new stolons. Racemes, white florets, flowering in spring, summer, and indoor flowering in winter. The underground part has roots, fleshy and short, horizontal or oblique, leaves slender, linear-lanceolate, with yellow-white longitudinal stripes in the center, clasping at the base, bright green. Leaf axils draw creeping branches, protruding clumps of plants, bending outward, apically bearing small plants with aerial roots. Flowers white, perianth 6, florescence spring and summer. The main functions of Magnolia are as follows:

First, ornamental value

Cymbidium is one of the most traditional indoor hanging plants. Its leaves are slender and soft, and the Diandian stem extracted from the leaf axil has small plants, hanging down from the basin, stretching and hanging, like flowers, evergreen all the year round; it is both firm and soft, shaped like a crane with wings spread, so it is called "folding crane" in ancient times. The hanging orchid leaves are beautiful and elegant, and the scape is graceful. They are often used as potted plants to hang on outdoor porches, windows, or on hallways and viaducts. On the one hand, they can be watched, and on the other hand, they can also be used to decorate rocks and cliffs. They are known as "flowers in the air". In short, its special shape constitutes a unique hanging landscape and three-dimensional beauty, which can play a chic embellishment effect.

Second, medicinal value

The whole herb of Cymbidium can be used medicinally, with the effect of clearing away heat and detoxification, nourishing yin and moistening the lungs, reducing swelling and dispersing blood stasis. Can treat cough, hoarseness, fall injury, toothache and so on.

Third, purify the air

Magnolia lanceolata, like other orchids, can purify the air and beautify the environment, and is one of the top ten nemesis of indoor pollution. The orchid is not only like orchid in shape and bright green in four seasons, but also has strong ability to absorb pollution, which has been recognized by scientists. The experimental results show that the hanging orchid can absorb and purify all the harmful gases in the experimental container within 24 hours. As long as a pot of orchids is put in the dormitory, harmful gases such as carbon monoxide and nitrogen peroxide emitted by indoor electrical appliances, stoves, plastic products and paints can be absorbed and transported to the roots within one day, and then decomposed into harmless substances by microorganisms in the soil, which are absorbed as nutrients. In its own metabolism, Cymbidium can also convert the carcinogenic formaldehyde in the air into sugars and amino acids. And can decompose the benzene emitted by photocopiers and printers, but also "swallow" nicotine and so on. Therefore, in a room of about 10 square meters, as long as there is a pot of orchids, it is equivalent to installing an air purifier, which is enough to offset the negative effects of harmful gases.

Hanging orchid is covered with treasures all over the body, and its function is so great that it has become the first choice of indoor greening for many families. Especially the newly decorated house, while opening the window for ventilation, you might as well place a few more pots of hanging orchids to increase the effect of purifying the air.
