We all know that plants in our home release oxygen. But few of us know
that they are able to clean the air from mold and toxins which is great for health.
NASA conveyed a study on domestic plants, and concluded that some plants are
better than others in cleaning the air and removing the toxins from the room.
These plants also clean the air from dust, paint, building materials etc. Below
you can read about 6 plants you should keep at home.
Aloe – This plant is great
for increasing oxygen level in the home because it absorbs the carbon dioxide,
formaldehyde and carbon monoxide. Nine air purifiers can be replaced with one
Aloe Vera plant.
Ficus (FicusElastica) – This plant doesn’t need a lot of light
and you can maintain it easily. It is quite effective in purifying the air of
formaldehyde. But avoid it if you have pets or small children because its
leaves may be poisonous.
Ivy (Hedera Helix) – this is a must-have herb. If you
buy this plant, within six hours it will remove 58% feces particles and 60% of
the toxins in the air.
Spider plant (ChlorophytumComosum) – This plant is
amazing as it is able to perform photosynthesis under minimal light. It is great
in absorbing toxins from the air as carbon monoxide, formaldehyde, gasoline and
styrene. One plant is enough to clean the air in 200 square meters space.
Snake
plant (SansevieriaTrifasciata “Laurentii”) – This plant is endurable and should
be kept at home. It can perform photosynthesis under minimal light. It is great
to be kept in the bedroom as it produces oxygen during the night.
Peace lilies
(Spathiphyllum “Mauna Loa”) – It removes toxins from the air and it also
removes formaldehyde from the air as well as trichloroethylene.
NASA recommends
15 and 18 of these plants in an area of 500 square meters. In 80 square meters
you will need 3 to 4 plants.
Put one in the bedroom because you sleep there.
