5 Indoor Air Purifying Plants
1. Areca Palm (Dypsis lutescens)
Areca Palm is a natural cooler that can remove xylene and toluene from the atmosphere. Make sure that the plant is not exposed to direct sunlight as this can cause the leaves to yellow. This plant has the ability to not just filter the air around but also add moisture to the surroundings, absorbing all the toxins, leaving the air clean and fresh.
2. Snake Plant (Sansevieria trifasciata)
The snake plant or ‘Mother-In-Law’s Tongue’, is a robust and sturdy plant that can grow with little maintenance. It can also grow in water—just make sure you change the water at regular intervals.
3. Money Plant (Epipremnum aureum)
Call it pothos, silver vine or devil’s ivy, the humble money plant grows indoors and needs only indirect light and little water to survive. It is known to clean the air from toxic pollutants and can grow in water too.
4. Peace Lily (Spathiphyllum)
This beautiful plant with its white leaf-like flowers is great indoors and can help remove toxic carbon monoxide, formaldehyde, benzene and trichloroethylene from the air. Slightly toxic in nature (do wash your hands once you have handled the plant), the Peace Lily will need some light for the flowers to bloom.
5. Spider Plant (Chlorophytum comosum)
This plant has short and narrow leaves and helps remove pollutants like benzene and formaldehyde. The plant can be watered once in two or three days. Being non-toxic, it makes for a great addition indoors and is a pretty sight too.
