The indoor plants with the strongest air-purifying ability, good for body and mind
Now air quality is drawing more and more attention from friends, and many friends like to keep a few pots of green plants at home. Besides decorating the home, they can also improve the living environment. So which plants have the strongest indoor air-purifying ability and are also suitable for indoor care?
1. Spider Plant
The first recommendation is the spider plant. The spider plant can produce oxygen even in weak light, and the key point is that its ability to absorb toxic gases is especially strong. In a room of about 10 sq m, one pot of spider plant is equivalent to an air purifier. It can absorb more than 80% of the toxic substances in the air and can also purify harmful substances in cigarette smoke.
2. Snake Plant
The snake plant can be said to be a very excellent indoor potted plant. It can also absorb carbon dioxide and release oxygen at night, and its purifying ability is also extraordinary. Generally, two pots of snake plant in a room can completely purify the air. It prefers light but is also tolerant of shade, and sandy loam with good drainage is better.
3. Ivy
Ivy is a little expert at absorbing formaldehyde. In a newly renovated home, it is recommended to keep a few pots. It can absorb harmful gases such as formaldehyde and benzene in the room, and it also has the effect of adsorbing dust. In ordinary care, attention should be paid to keeping the leaf surface clean, otherwise it will affect the health of the plant.
4. Pothos
Pothos is also a very common potted plant at home. It has strong vitality and a good ability to absorb toxic substances. It can improve the air quality in rooms where we do not often open the windows in winter. Pothos can also eliminate harmful substances such as formaldehyde, and its air-purifying ability is not much worse than that of ivy or spider plant.
5. Clivia
Clivia has very high ornamental value. Besides being beautiful, Clivia also has a very strong air-purifying ability. One adult Clivia can absorb 1 liter of air in a day and night and release 80% oxygen, and Clivia's ability to absorb smoke is also outstanding, making it very suitable for placement in the living room for care.
