What is more polluted: indoor air or outdoor air?
10 times out of 10, the air in your home, office or apartment is more polluted than the air outside.
Indoor air is one of the top 5 health risks.
Stagnant air in your home causes toxic pollutants to build up and cling everywhere inside.
Additionally, most of the furniture in our homes releases toxic chemicals, such as formaldehyde, for example.
You can also be affected by pollutants that cling to pollen, bacteria, mold and other outdoor contaminants that find their way into your home.
Fortunately, there are air-purifying indoor plants that can help us purify and improve air quality.
And even if you don’t have a green thumb, these plants are almost indestructible!
Here is the list of these 9 anti-pollution plants that clean the air:
1. Chrysanthemums
NASA has discovered that these plants are incredible air purifiers.
Place chrysanthemums in your home to remove ammonia, benzene, formaldehyde and xylene from the air in your home.
It is a plant that is easy to find at florists and, what is more, it is not expensive.
2. The spider plant
The spider plant is also one of the so-called “depolluting” plants. It eliminates formaldehyde, carbon monoxide, toluene, benzene and xylene present in the air.
The spider plant is incredibly easy to grow, even for beginners. It is very resilient even without regular maintenance. Perfect if you are just starting out in gardening.
Give it as much light as possible, but not direct sunlight. If the temperature rises above 20°C, you will do it good by misting its leaves. Water it as soon as the soil dries out.
3. Dracaena
There are over 40 different types of dracaena, so you have a choice of which plant will suit you best.
The advantage of this green plant is that it eliminates the following pollutants: benzene, formaldehyde, trichloroethylene, xylene from the air.
