Air-Purifying Plants to Bring a New Life to Your Home


Air purifying plants are natural wonders – these plants really cleanse toxins from the air in your home, in addition to making spaces more beautiful and cozy.

There are many benefits to having plants indoors. They help to purify the air and create a relaxing atmosphere, but they also serve as a decorative accessory. Whatever the style or architecture, a beautiful vase filled with green always brings more beauty and elegance!

“Plants naturally remove toxins from the air, inspire creativity and focus, increase mental health, serve as natural humidifiers, and bring life to a home,” explains interior plant designer Lisa Muñoz of Leaf and June.

Are you one of those people who can’t resist a good plant, but you’re not sure which are the best species to have inside your house? We leave you with a list of 15 perfect plants to have indoors.

Aloe Vera

This incredibly versatile plant is just as good at clearing the air as it is at soothing burns and scrapes. Place the plant in a place with plenty of light and use pots with plenty of drainages. As for watering, avoid doing it frequently, as aloe is susceptible to excess water.

Aloe vera filters toxins including benzene, formaldehyde, and carbon monoxide.

Golden Pothos

This leafy vine can be hung in midair or set on a shelf to climb all the way across it. Also known as the Devil’s Ivy, it grows steadily in low light or fluorescent light. Golden pothos plants filter toxins like toluene, formaldehyde, xylene, and benzene.

It’s one of the easiest plants out there to keep alive.

The color can be burgundy or regular green: rubber trees will produce lots of oxygen—more than any other plant, in fact! In addition to producing oxygen and eliminating air toxins, the rubber tree effectively removes mold spores and bacteria from the air (by up to 60%).

It has many small leaves, creating an interesting and flashy landscape. Perfect for those who want a brighter touch in their decor. They are native to tropical forests and enjoy a lot of humidity. Therefore, they must be watered daily.

Bamboo Palm

This plant thrives in humidity, so consider placing one in your bathroom. The more light a bamboo palm gets, the taller it will grow. At full size, the fluffy-leafed beauty can be anywhere between four and 12 feet.

Famingo Lily

Anthurium Scherzerianum is the scientify name. This colorful plant’s blooms look like flamingos, which is why, fittingly, it’s also called the Flamingo Lily.

Succulents

Succulents are in fashion, and it’s not surprising. They do not need a lot of water, as they are of desert origin, propagate easily and do well anywhere in a house – whether it has a lot of light or little. For your succulent to thrive even more, water it only when the soil is dry, and keep it in a more humid place, with lots of direct sunlight.
