Which plants are best at absorbing formaldehyde?
Most plants have the ability to absorb formaldehyde, and common ones include golden pothos, spider plant, snake plant, aloe, and English ivy. However, their capacity is limited and cannot achieve good results, so you cannot rely solely on plants to deal with formaldehyde problems. Other measures should also be used as a supplement at the same time, such as opening windows for ventilation, using high-quality building materials, and so on.
1. Limited absorption capacity
2. Good measures
To remove formaldehyde, you can also open windows for ventilation; only by combining the use of high-quality building materials with plants can ideal results be achieved. According to tests by China Agricultural University, when it comes to handling formaldehyde, if you rely entirely on plants such as golden pothos to handle the formaldehyde in a given area, the number required is enormous and the effect is not ideal. So relying entirely on plants to purify indoor air does not work very well, but it can improve the environment to a certain extent.
