Keep one of these flowers at home and enjoy the many benefits of purifying the air
Growing flowers at home is truly a trendy thing these days. It not only makes your living space full of life, but also cultivates your character. On top of that, it makes your home fresh and natural and keeps your family healthier. Below are a few flowering plants that purify the air.
Dwarf Umbrella Tree
The dwarf umbrella tree (Schefflera arboricola) thrives in a warm, humid environment and likes ample light, but it also tolerates partial shade; with ample light its leaves take on even more vivid colors. The dwarf umbrella tree can effectively absorb indoor formaldehyde and can also absorb nicotine from the air, so if anyone in your home smokes, be sure to keep one at home.
Jasmine
Jasmine (Jasminum sambac) thrives in a warm, humid, well-ventilated environment. It dislikes direct strong light, is fairly tolerant of partial shade, and is not cold-hardy, so take good protective measures against freezing in winter. Jasmine gives off a rich fragrance that can remove odors from a room, and it can also inhibit the growth of harmful bacteria such as tubercle bacilli and ease the symptoms of a cold.
Parlor Palm
The parlor palm (Chamaedorea elegans) thrives in a hot, humid environment. It dislikes direct strong light and is fairly tolerant of partial shade; in summer you can mist it with a little clean water to raise the air humidity. Placing a parlor palm on a desk or coffee table adds a lot of life, and it can also absorb harmful gases indoors such as benzene and formaldehyde. Many people keep several of them at home.
Peace Lily
The peace lily (Spathiphyllum) thrives in a hot, humid environment and hates direct strong light. It is fairly shade-tolerant, but it still needs a little light, otherwise it will not bloom easily. The peace lily can absorb the waste gases people exhale and can also absorb harmful gases in the air such as nitrogen, acetone and formaldehyde, and it can even improve indoor air humidity. The effect is excellent.
