When summer heat waves begin, finding a heat protection solution for the house will become the top priority. Instead of completely relying on electrical equipment that consumes quite a lot of costs, the trend of taking advantage of space to plant trees will help bring an ecosystem, creating a feeling of relaxation and effectively purifying the air.
Banana tree
Banana trees are one of the cooling plants thanks to their succulent stems and wide leaf blades. Banana leaves have the ability to diffuse sunlight extremely well, helping to significantly prevent heat absorbed into brick walls if planted on the side of the house.
Through the process of evaporating water vapor from the leaves, it will also contribute to increasing humidity and reducing the heat of the surrounding air. Besides the ability to bring shade to the house, banana trees also provide a source of clean food from fruits to flowers, very convenient when preparing family dishes.
Hoa su quan tu
If the house space is modest, vines such as star apple are the optimal choice. This is a plant with strong vitality, resistant to harsh sunlight and growing quickly. When climbing close to the trellis or covering along the wall, star apple will create a thick insulation layer, preventing the phenomenon of "heating" the walls of the house every sunny afternoon.
Not only heat-resistant, the clusters of bright red, gently fragrant flowers also bring a romantic beauty, helping to reduce stress for the family after a tiring working day.
Bamboo, ornamental bamboo
Planting bamboo or ornamental bamboo along the walkway on the side of the house is a solution to help create a green, cool and quiet space. With tall trunks, thick and interwoven leaves, bamboo or ornamental bamboo also creates cool shade and effectively filters dust.
The rustling of leaves in the wind also brings a feeling of peace, helping to cool down well on hot summer days. This plant is also very easy to care for, less susceptible to pests and diseases, and does not take up much land, suitable for townhouses with limited space.
