Air pollutants are a problem inside and outside our home. Even when we keep a clean home there are still many ways the air quality is tainted: people and pets bring in outside factors like dirt, poorly ventilated rooms, mold, and more. You can use air purifiers and clean your filters on a regular basis, but NASA has found a way to clean the air, naturally.
Yes, NASA calls plants “nature’s life support system.” They found that adding potted plants to a room has been shown to reduce the amount of air particulates. Plants take in the carbon dioxide and other air particulates and make oxygen. The sight of a plant lifts our spirits and makes our home a little brighter.
Our top five plant picks for cleaning the air are:
Garden Mums – NASA research found this plant was the best for purifying air. They remove ammonia, benzene, formaldehyde, and xylene from inside.
Spider plants are super easy to grow and care for. They like indirect sunlight and send out shoots with flowers or baby spider plants. They remove formaldehyde and xylene from the air.
Ficus/Weeping Fig can be grown indoors. Although it is a tree it grows between two and ten feet tall. They are happy with indirect, but bright light. These rockstar plants remove benzene, formaldehyde, and trichloroethylene from your air.
Snake Plant/Mother-in-Law’s Tongue require only occasional watering and drier conditions with some sun. They remove benzene, formaldehyde, trichloroethylene, and xylene.
Bamboo Palm is pet friendly. However, they need full sun or bright light. They can grow anywhere from four to twelve feet high. They clean benzene, formaldehyde, and trichloroethylene from your air.
I’m not certain where you are getting your info, but
great topic. I needs to spend some time studying much
more or understanding more. Thank you for fantastic info I was looking for this information for my
mission.
