Since we spend so much time inside, it’s crucial that our homes have clean air. As most of us already know, indoor plants help lower indoor air pollutants like formaldehyde. If you don’t know which to pick, here’s a good list for you.
Top Indoor Plants for Cleaner AirÂ
What’s great about this list is that these indoor plants are also aesthetically pleasing. Imagine having a beautiful and healthy home.
Pot MumÂ
The pot mum is not only an attractive decoration for the house in seasons when many plants are fading, it also helps to remove benzene from your indoor surroundings. In order to thrive, mums need to be in a location that receives direct sunlight for at least six hours every day. Put your plant in an area with plenty of sunlight and good drainage.
Chinese EvergreenÂ
The Chinese Evergreen is a low- to medium-light plant that requires very little attention. If you don’t have a lot of time to care for a plant, we recommend getting this for your home. While the Chinese Evergreen is useful for indoor air quality, it should be noted that it contains an irritant that is hazardous to animals.
Bamboo Palm
The Bamboo Palm, also known as the Reed Palm, is a beautiful houseplant that may help filter out benzene and formaldehyde. It thrives in partial shade or full sun, making it an ideal houseplant. Remember, these plants want to have a constant supply of moisture, but they can’t be in water for too long.
Gerbera DaisyÂ
This popular plant has the potential to purify the air by absorbing benzene, and it also has the added benefit of lifting people’s emotions. Once a week, give your Gerbera Daisy a good soak, and do it first thing in the morning so the soil has all day to dry.
Mother-in-Law’s Tongue
Mother-in-law’s tongue is a sturdy succulent that can endure a broad range of temperatures and light conditions. This makes it perfect for amateur gardeners. When caring for these plants, overwatering is the most common mistake. Watering your plant more than once every 10 days throughout the growth season is unnecessary.
Give your entire home some much-needed TLC, just as you do with your indoor plants. Hire professional cleaning services and have a healthier home today.
English IvyÂ
In addition to its aesthetic appeal, English Ivy is very effective in removing hazardous substances from the home. Growing English Ivy indoors requires a lot of light. Ivy will grow lanky, sickly, and pest-prone if it doesn’t get enough of it. However, it can be shaped by training and can live for years. Now, that’s a true investment.
Peace LilyÂ
Peace Lilies are known for their resistance to carcinogenic chemicals like formaldehyde and carbon monoxide. They are also easy to care for. When you see that their leaves are drooping, that’s an indicator that it’s time to water them. Wash your hands well if you come into contact with the plant. Take note that it may be somewhat poisonous to people and animals alike.
Dragon TreeÂ
This plant, which has leaves that vary in color from green to purple, is lovely both indoors and out. Because of its ability to function in dim conditions, it would also be good in the workplace. Indirect, bright light is ideal for Dragon Trees. The leaves may be scorched by the sun if exposed to it for too long.
Spider PlantÂ
This houseplant loves indirect sunlight and works hard to purge the air of dangerous toxins like formaldehyde and benzene. If you want it to survive, do not overwater your Spider Plants. Instead, allow the soil to dry up somewhat in between waterings.
Rubber Tree
Researchers have shown that Rubber Plants may remove pollutants from the air by soaking up and decomposing them. We exhale carbon dioxide, which is absorbed by their big, shiny leaves and transformed into oxygen. Raise them in a potting mix that drains well, give them consistent watering, and feed them liquid fertilizer when they’re in their active growth stage.
How To Take Care of Indoor PlantsÂ
All the work that goes into ensuring your plants thrive might be intimidating if you’re a new plant parent. But the majority of the plants we listed above won’t need regular and intense care. Just make sure that whatever your choice is, you understand their specific requirements for the following:
- Water
- Fertilizer
- Propagation
- Repotting
- Dusting
- Pruning
- Pest and Disease Control
