BEST HOUSEPLANTS FOR PURIFYING INDOOR AIR
Did you know that air purifiers and ventilation aren’t the only things contributing to the cleanliness of our at-home air? House plants are a low-toxin home staple – in fact, they eliminate more airborne pollutants than even the majority of air purifiers do! (And are far less expensive.) Since these toxins are often undetectable, they frequently go unnoticed, but they shouldn't. They come from the paint on our walls, artificial fragrance, dyes, bacteria, even our carpets and clothing carry toxins. The learning curve can be overwhelming but it comes with simple solutions – one of which being house plants!
Spider Plant - Easy, clean and pet-friendly!
Snake Plant - One of the most low maintenance plants out there!
Pothos - A great plant for cleansing carbon monoxide, formaldehyde and more of the most common toxins.
Ferns - Pretty, lush and simple, these thrive in indirect light so hide them in the bedrooms!
Palms - Bamboo palm being most common, a fun, fluffy, humidity-loving plant, great for cleansing that bathroom air.
Peace Lily - One of the top plants for air purification, but note it is toxic when ingested – to those pets of yours too!
