The Six Best Indoor Plants For Air Purification

Did you know that the air inside our homes is several times more polluted than that one outside? All kinds of household appliances, PVC joinery, furniture, plywood, linoleum, wallpaper, all kinds of detergents – all of which saturates the air in homes and offices with toxic substances such as benzene, toluene, phenol, formaldehyde and other harmful substances.

The result is an increased level of dust and germs that leads to the deterioration of human health, the development of allergies and respiratory diseases.

If you set up some useful pot plants in the rooms in the apartment or house, they will work as a kind of biological filter, collecting the dust on their leaves, absorbing bad matter, releasing oxygen.

These plants are even recommended by NASA to purify the air in space stations, and those without problems, purify the air in the premises for housing.

The seven most useful plants to purify the air in the room are:

Schefflera or “umbrella tree” is literally created for rooms where people smoke. It perfectly absorbs and neutralizes nicotine and tar, which are found in cigarette smoke. Schefflera is characterized by its very modest requirements – it needs a lot of light, and it should be watered just a little.

Epipremnum aureum, or “golden creeper” purifies the air of benzene. Its broad leaves can absorb a large amount of these substances. This plant has become popular mainly due to the fact that it is easily grown and does not require any special conditions. This simple creeper absorbs many other harmful chemicals too. Dracena neutralizes formaldehyde. This tropical plant filters many toxins extremely well, including formaldehyde (a gas that is often used for the production of plastics and disinfectants). Dracena suits light, but not direct sun. Do not keep it in the draft, it will quickly lose most leaves. Hlorofitum – an attractive decoration on each window, which permits enough light. It absorbs gas emissions very efficiently. Therefore, this plant is simply indispensable to all who live on the first and second floor. Salon Chamaedorea palm (Chamaedorea elegans- Happiness palm) is regarded as one of the healthiest plants that purify the air in the room. It actively moisturizes the air and filters harmful substances emitted by plastics. Hedera helix (English room ivy) and Ficus benjamina (or Weeping fig) are the champions in purifying the air. They have a natural ability to filter airborne pollutants, including benzene, formaldehyde, xylene, and toluene.
