Whether it is a new home or an old home, after renovation it needs to be left for a period of time to reduce toxic substances in the air before it is safe to move in. During this period, various plants that can purify the air can be placed in the room! Below are recommendations for some plants with built-in "toxin-absorbing" functions, both healthy and practical. Hurry and buy a pot to grow!

1. Golden Pothos

Efficient air purifier

Golden Pothos can absorb benzene, trichloroethylene, formaldehyde and others from the air. In a newly renovated home, first ventilate more and use harmful gas adsorbents, then place a few pots of Golden Pothos to reduce the vacancy time. Therefore, Golden Pothos is very suitable for placement in newly renovated rooms.

2. Snake Plant

Also known as the "formaldehyde-absorbing expert"

Snake Plant can absorb some harmful gases indoors, such as trichloroethylene, formaldehyde, benzene and xylene, and can also effectively remove harmful substances such as sulfur dioxide, ether and carbon monoxide. Snake Plant is also relatively easy to grow, tolerant of shade and drought, and very suitable for home and office environments.

3. Spider Plant

Can remove harmful substances from the air and purify the air

Spider Plant has a strong ability to absorb formaldehyde. Generally, keeping 1 to 2 pots in a room is suitable. It is a common office and home potted green plant.

4. Dragon Tree

Removes harmful substances from the air

Dragon Tree has sword-shaped leaves with a glossy green shine, and is known as "the rising star of foliage plants." It can absorb trichloroethylene, formaldehyde and benzene.

5. Aglaonema

Air purification

Aglaonema is famous for its unique air-purifying ability: thehigher the concentration of pollutants in the air, the more it can exert its purifying ability!Therefore, it is very suitable for dark rooms with poor ventilation.

6. Maidenhair Fern

The most effective biological "purifier"

It can absorb about 20 micrograms of formaldehyde per hour, so it is considered the most effective biological "purifier." People who deal with paint and coatings all day, or who have smokers around them, should place at least one pot of fern in the workplace. In addition, it can also suppress xylene and toluene released from computer monitors and printers.

7. Monstera

Brings fresh air to smoking households

Monstera is also known as Penglai Banana. Monstera's air-purifying function is slightly weaker; unlike Spider Plant, it is not an all-rounder at purifying air, but Monstera has a relatively obvious effect on removing formaldehyde from the air. In addition, Monstera has the effect of absorbing carbon dioxide at night, which is very helpful for improving indoor air quality and increasing oxygen content.

Friendly reminder:Plants are not suitable for placement in the bedroom. Some plants carry out respiration at night, releasing carbon dioxide and consuming oxygen.

Whether it is renovating a new home or partially remodeling an old home, in order to reduce the air pollution caused by renovation as quickly as possible, be sure to grow a few more pots at home!
