Can succulents be placed in the bedroom? I was also confused, but now I have the answer!

Are you like me? When you first started to grow 다육 식물, you always wondered, “Can succulents be placed in the bedroom?”
I also looked up a lot of information and asked a few friends who have rich experience in growing succulents. The final conclusion is: Yes! No problem at all!

✅ Will succulents be placed in the bedroom affect the air?

I was also very worried about this at first. After all, I heard that plants release carbon dioxide at night. Will it affect sleep?
Later I learned that the “breathing method” of succulents is a bit special. Some (like Crassulaceae) can absorb a little carbon dioxide at night, which is different from ordinary green plants.

So, it is OK to put it in the bedroom. It will not affect the air quality, let alone sleep.

🌸 So what are the benefits of putting them in the bedroom?
✨ 1. It really makes you feel good!

Every morning when I open my eyes and see the little meat first, I really feel like “Oh, so healing”.
Sometimes when I am tired from work and feel irritable, I look at them and feel that the pressure is relieved a lot.

✨ 2. The appearance of the bedroom is directly improved

I put a few pots on the windowsill and bedside table, which does not take up space and has a special atmosphere.
Some guests will ask: “This little plant is so cute, where did you buy it?”
Hehe, it makes me happy just to hear it~

✨ 3. It has a little effect of purifying the air

Although they are not masters of air purification, they can still be used to deal with little demons such as formaldehyde and benzene. It’s better than nothing!

❗What should I pay attention to when growing succulents in the bedroom?

I also stepped on a few pitfalls at the beginning. Now I summarize some experiences and share them with you:

🌞 The most critical issue is light

The light in the bedroom is generally not that strong, right? But succulents need sunlight!
So now I put them by the window. If the light is not enough, I will add a plant fill light, which is small and does not take up space, very convenient.

💨 Don’t ignore ventilation

I was lazy before and didn’t open the window. The succulents suddenly rotted and melted, and my heart was broken…
So a reminder: opening the window for ventilation is really important, even 10 minutes a day will do!

💦 Don’t be too careless when watering

The humidity in the bedroom is high, and the ventilation is not as good as that in the living room. If you water too much, it will easily cause problems.
Just remember one sentence: It is better to be dry than wet. Now I use a small spray bottle and water it a little bit, which is enough.

🌵 Choose the right variety to save trouble

Not all succulents are suitable for the bedroom.
I recommend a few that I have raised very stably: Jade Dew, Bear Paw, Rainbow Jade, Jixing Beauty, and Black Prince.
These do not require so much light, are more durable, and can be easily controlled by novices.

Finally, I want to say:

Can succulents be placed in the bedroom? Do you have the answer in your mind now?
As long as the light and ventilation are sufficient, water less, and choose the right variety, it is not only fine to put it in the bedroom, but also a plus!

If you are also struggling whether to buy a few pots, why not give it a try?
As you keep raising it, maybe you will be like me – from a “casual raising” to “the more you raise it, the more you get addicted”!
