Which plants are best at purifying indoor air
Now, we cannot change the air of this world. In large cities with heavy traffic, the outdoor air is even cleaner than the indoor air, because green plants constantly purify the outdoor air. If you want to purify indoor air, what plants are best to choose?
What indoor air-purifying plants are there
1. Spider plant: Its ability to absorb harmful chemical substances in the air exceeds that of an air filter. One pot of spider plant can, within 24 hours, absorb clean the indoor carbon monoxide, nitrogen dioxide and other volatile harmful gases.
2. Cactus: Its characteristic is that it closes its stomata during the day to prevent water evaporation. At night it opens its stomata, absorbs carbon dioxide, and releases oxygen. If two or three pots of cactus are placed indoors, they can increase the negative ions in the air, greatly benefiting sleep and health.
3. Snake plant: A natural scavenger. One pot of snake plant can absorb more than 80% of various harmful gases in a room of about 10 sq m. Two pots of snake plant can basically completely purify the air in an ordinary living room; the snake plant can also release a large amount of oxygen during the day.
4. Ivy: One pot of ivy can eliminate 90% of the benzene in a room of 8 to 10 sq m, can deal with bacteria and other harmful substances brought in from outdoors, and can even absorb dust that is difficult for even a vacuum cleaner to suck up.
5. Aglaonema: Known for its unique air-purifying ability: the higher 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. Pothos: This highly efficient air purifier among organisms originated from the Mexican plateau. Because it can simultaneously purify benzene, trichloroethylene and formaldehyde in the air, it is very suitable for placement in newly renovated rooms. Newly laid flooring is only one of the sources that breed harmful substances.
7. African daisy: This plant is not only good at absorbing formaldehyde, but also has strong ornamental value, and quite a few varieties can even be used as cut flower material.
8. Monstera: Monstera's air-purifying function is slightly weaker; it is not like the spider plant. Aloe is a generalist 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. It is of great help in improving indoor air quality and increasing oxygen content.
9. Lucky bamboo: A healthy plant suitable for the bedroom. Lucky bamboo can help improve the air quality of rooms that are not often opened for ventilation, has a toxic function, especially in the bedroom; lucky bamboo can effectively absorb exhaust gases, improving the private environment of the bedroom.
10. Rubber plant: A generalist at eliminating harmful plants, it has a certain resistance to harmful gases in the air such as carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide and hydrogen fluoride. The rubber plant can also eliminate inhalable particulate pollution and can effectively play a dust-retaining role for indoor dust.
11. Peace lily: An "expert" at suppressing waste gases exhaled by the human body such as ammonia and acetone. At the same time, it can also filter benzene, trichloroethylene and formaldehyde in the air. Its high evaporation rate can prevent the nasal mucosa from drying out, greatly reducing the possibility of illness.
12. Weeping fig: Its leaves and roots can absorb xylene, toluene, trichloroethylene, benzene and formaldehyde, and decompose them into non-toxic substances.
Although flowers and plants have such a great purifying effect, you should also note not to put too many in the bedroom. This is because green plants, under insufficient light, will like humans take in oxygen and release carbon dioxide. If this is combined with poor air circulation and thus an excessively high carbon dioxide concentration, it will affect human health.
