is it proper to have a plant as a decoration in a quality control lab.?

Answer 1

I agree that a live plant should NOT be introduced into a quality-control lab. Unknowingly, an infestation of insects such as scale, aphids, white fly nymphs, mealybugs, and/or spider mites can be introduced into the lab. Many of these insects are so tiny that they are hard to see with the naked eye. Generally, they are brought in on the plant or on the planting soil. They may be in any stage of development, from egg to larvae (worm) to adult. The flying ones will be attracted to neighboring lights and not confined to just the plant. House flies, for example, have been known to carry over 100 different kinds of disease-causing germs. Tell your supervisor or co-worker that even an artificial silk plant will attract spiders and dust mites, and are very hard to keep dusted (clean). Forget the aesthetics!
P.S. --- I'm wandering just how big this particular plant is that you are referring to. If the humidity level of the room in which this plant sits is a variable in the quality-controlled atmosphere, a large plant (or multiple plants) placed around the room will significantly affect the over-all humidity level. Water transpires from plants.

1. Have a hard time accepting compliments (still working on that) 2. I don't tell friends when I am angry with them 3. I secretly get jealous sometimes

Answer 3

No. They don't allow them in intensive care units because of the germs they can carry, so I'd think a qualitly control labe would be the same sort of thing.

Answer 4

why not? having plants in a room helps clean the air and its nice to have something pretty to look at. just make sure it has light and plenty of water.
