6 best air purifying indoor plants

Because of the country's alarming level of pollution, indoor air quality (IAQ) has been a critical problem in recent years. Inside your home, the air you breathe isn't as clean as you think it is. As a result, bringing home tubs of air-cleaning plants is a long-term and environmentally friendly alternative.

 

Yes, such plants actually exist, and they're also very easy to come by. Green house plants in your bedroom or living room can help to boost your breathing space. These plants are very good at removing pollutants and toxins from the air and thus raising oxygen levels. You don't need a large terrace or balcony to create a better breathing space. Instead, all you need for these lovely yet healthy green plants is a small place within your home.

We've compiled a list of six of the greatest possibilities.

Areca Plant

The Areca Palm is a natural air chiller that absorbs xylene and toluene from the air. Make sure the plant isn't in direct sunlight, as this will turn the leaves yellow. This plant not only filters the air but also adds moisture to the environment, absorbing all toxins and leaving the air clean and fresh.

Peace Lily

Peace lilies are easy to care for and even exhibit symptoms of drooping when they need to be watered. They are known for their capacity to resist poisonous chemicals such as formaldehyde and carbon monoxide. It's crucial to wash your hands after handling the plant because it might be somewhat toxic to pets and people. This plant, like aloe vera, cleans the air, allowing us to breathe easier.

 

Aloe Vera

This must-have plant not only removes toxins from the air but also absorbs carbon dioxide and carbon monoxide. It's an excellent houseplant because it's short, easy to cultivate, and easy to maintain. Aloe vera gel also has antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, and wound-healing qualities, which helps to maintain a healthy complexion. Aloe Vera absorbs toxins from paints, cleaning products, wood and paper products, and even fuel.

 

Snake Plant

This plant, sometimes known as mother-in-law’s tongue, is prized for its tall, sword-like foliage with variegated green colours. Its appearance is further enhanced by the yellow-cream stripe that runs across its edges. This plant is ideal for interior air cooling because it thrives in low light and cleans the air by absorbing a variety of VOCs

Money Plant

The modest money plant, also known as pothos, silver vine, or devil's ivy, thrives indoors and requires only indirect light and a small amount of water. It is known to remove hazardous contaminants from the air. You can make a unique location and space for the plant to cover an entire space because it can spread like a vine.

Spider Plant

These easy-to-grow, air-purifying indoor plants grow quickly and require little maintenance. Known to be an air-cleansing plant, the spider plant requires well-drained soil and two-to-three weekly waterings. This plant is extremely safe and non-toxic for pets and children. To thrive, it requires bright indirect sunlight.
