Air Purifying Plants

Clean the air you breathe NATURALLY with houseplants

Purifying Plant #1: Pothos

Houseplants are a valuable addition to any room. They bring a vibrant beauty inside and create a natural oasis inside your home. They liven up a dull corner or window. The right plant can be a fantastic accent piece, whether it’s a hanging fern or a tall palm tree. And of course, they help create fresher air for you and your family.


One of these wonderful plants is known as Pothos (otherwise known as Golden Pothos or Devil’s Ivy).

 

Purifying Plant #2: Dwarf Date Palm

The pygmy date palm is a member of family Arecacea, an enormous group with over 2,600 species growing in tropical and sub-tropical zones of the world.

 

This particular type is called the date palm because the small yellow flowers on the female trees give way to purplish dates once fertilized.

Purifying Plant #3: Peace Lily

Peace lilies are easy, undemanding plants for any indoor space, though there’s a trick to getting them to flower.

Purifying Plant #4: Philodendron

Philodendron is another vine with heart-shaped leaves. It’s an incredibly simple houseplant to grow, and even an inexperienced gardener can have a thriving Philo if they watch for the plant’s signals and give it what it needs.

Purifying Plant #5: Spider Plant

The spider plant is probably one of the most adaptable houseplants and it can thrive in a wide variety of conditions with few problems other than brown tips. It’s the perfect plant for an inexperienced gardener.


They like bright, indirect sunlight and well-drained soil.  They like the soil to dry out a bit between waterings. They also like cooler temperatures (55 to 65 degrees F).

Purifying Plant #6: Chrysanthemums

While not a typical houseplant, the mum can be grown indoors with a little bit of care. They’re more challenging to grow, but if you’re up to the work, they can be a beautiful addition to your indoor garden.

Purifying Plant #7:  Rubber Plant

Rubber plants can be enjoyed either as a medium-sized houseplant or a beautiful indoor tree. If you have the patience, start with a small plant as those acclimatize better to indoor life than older specimens do.

Purifying Plant #8: Boston Fern

Popular since the Victorian era, Boston ferns are now one of the most common houseplants in the world. This easy-to-grow fern is known for its sword shaped fronds and are perfect for growing in a hanging basket.


They like lots of indirect light – morning light is perfect; full afternoon sun can actually burn the fronds. Place them near a window, but not in direct light.

Purifying Plant #9: Areca Palm

If you want to add a little tropical vibe to your room, there’s nothing that beats a palm tree. You can spot these trees almost everywhere, from offices to shopping malls.


They’re originally from Madagascar, so you can probably figure out they’ll like bright light. But make sure it’s indirect because direct sunlight can burn their leaves.

Purifying Plant #10: Dracaena

This easy-to-care-for houseplant has colorful strap-like foliage on a stem called a cane. You can prune the cane back at about any point to keep the plant under control.


The plant comes in large tree-like varieties which may reach up to six to fifteen feet tall, or in smaller cultivars. Pruning will produce fresh foliage right below the cut within a few weeks.
