Air Purifying Indoor Plants
Fill a room with plants and you’ll help clean up the air in your home. Plants naturally suck up pollutants from the air and pump out lots of lovely oxygen. The more plants you have, the more air-purifying power.
Air-purifying superstars
Ben, well-known as the weeping fig, is a super popular house plant said to be one of the best air-purifiers. Give him a bit of TLC, and he’ll grow tall and strong. Although he doesn’t produce any flowers, his leafy foliage makes him a firm favourite.
Rob the ficus elastica is a great starter plant for new plant parents. Not only is he super easy to look after, tests have shown that he’s a very efficient pollutant-sucker-upper
Fleur the anthurium (a.k.a. the ‘trail flower’ or ‘flamingo flower’) is a magical plant that blooms with lovely red flowers for 300 days a year — adopting her is like buying yourself a bouquet every day. How’s that for self-appreciation?
The snake plant cleans several toxic components from the air, including benzene, formaldehyde, trichloroethylene, xylene, and toluene. Trichloroethylene is most commonly used for industrial purposes, but it is widespread in ground and drinking water. Xylene and toluene help produce solvents, plastics, adhesives, and many other household items. The snake plant does best in well-drained soil and tolerates low-light conditions.
Spider plants add color and visual charm to interior spaces. These plants look terrific in hanging baskets or tall containers where their foliage can hang over the basket’s rim for an eye-catching display. One of the many reasons why spider plants make such great additions to homes is because they’re not overly fussy. Easy to take care of, these plants only require watering two to three times per week. Moreover, spider plants are non-toxic, so you can keep them in spaces where kids and pets are present.
