Do you live near a busy street? Does the air in your house always seem stale? You may not know that you don’t have to resort to expensive artificial air purifiers, but can instead use simple, pretty plants .
You’re right! Many plants, in fact, have the ability to absorb certain toxins or components from the air that are not always good for our body.
In return, you just have to take care of these plants, and pay a little attention to the so-called air-purifying plants. I will tell you right now which are the most popular and effective for purifying the air in your home.
phalanx
We open our list with a very unusual plant: the phalangium , also known as the spider plant or ribbon plant.
Although usually modest in size, the phalanx can renew indoor air by decreasing the presence of the airborne carbon monoxide components xylene .
Keep it in a place where there is enough indirect light and where the temperature never drops consistently below 10°C . Also, always try to water it in moderation. You could damage its delicate roots with too much water.
Sansevieria
Let’s now move on to what is perhaps the most famous: mother-in-law’s tongue , whose botanical name is sansevieria .
This plant with long, upward-pointing leaves is one of the most popular indoor plants. Thanks to its elegant shapes, it can add an extra touch of color and joy to any room.
According to studies, this plant can absorb certain harmful substances such as formaldehyde and benzene often present in the air, thus acting as a powerful natural purifier.
Additionally, sansevieria emits oxygen especially at night, making it an ideal plant to have in the bedroom .
Spathiphyllum
Let’s now move on to an equally beautiful, but very different, houseplant: the spathiphyllum (also called spataphyllum or spoon plant).
