What plants are good to buy after renovating a new home? The formaldehyde-absorbing effect matters more than looks
Moving into a new home is something worth celebrating, but after moving in, there is another troublesome matter bothering us, namely that after the new home is renovated, it gives off a formaldehyde smell, which makes us very troubled. So next, let the editor bring you several kinds of formaldehyde-absorbing plants.
The complete list of formaldehyde-absorbing plants: aloe, pothos, spider plant, snake plant, cast-iron plant, English ivy.
Aloe: Aloe is a plant that, I believe, every flower lover has one or two of at home. Moreover, using aloe in beauty care and medicine is a good choice. Besides these uses, aloe can also be used to purify the air. Placing a few aloe plants in a new home gives a very strong formaldehyde-absorbing ability.
Pothos: Pothos is called the flower of life by everyone. The origin of this name is not so simple. It is precisely because pothos can survive even when placed in water that pothos earned this name. Moreover, pothos is also a shade-loving plant, and pothos is very powerful at absorbing certain gases, such as formaldehyde. Pothos has another name, and that is the formaldehyde destroyer.
English ivy: English ivy is an extremely easy plant to keep alive, and English ivy can also be placed at home for ornamental purposes. Besides that, using English ivy to purify the air is also a good choice. In a newly renovated home, using English ivy to absorb the residual formaldehyde and other harmful gases inside is fine. Moreover, English ivy is a very easy plant to come across, and it can often be found in the wild. Once found, it can be transplanted back home.
Spider plant: The spider plant has an extremely special ability, namely that the spider plant can absorb harmful gases. Generally, in a newly renovated home, placing two spider plants can eliminate all the harmful gases in the room. Moreover, besides being used to purify gases, the spider plant can also serve an ornamental purpose. Usually, when looking at other people's living rooms, spider plants are placed there.
Cast-iron plant: The leaves of the cast-iron plant look very upright, and the color of the leaves looks very green. The cast-iron plant is also extremely ornamental, and it is usually placed by people in the living room or in a room. The cast-iron plant can be enjoyed by people on its own, and it can also be paired with other flowers, looking very beautiful. In addition, the cast-iron plant can also absorb harmful gases, so in a newly finished home, placing a cast-iron plant is also good. It can serve an ornamental purpose and can also absorb gases such as formaldehyde.
That is the end of the editor's introduction. Dear flower lovers, if you know of any other plants that can absorb harmful gases, you might as well share them with the editor.
