When you are stuck at home for a long period of time, the air can start to feel stagnant. House plants are a great way to naturally purify the air in your home and bring the outside in. Indoor air pollution can make health issues such as asthma and allergies worse, according to the EPA. Because furniture, walls, and carpets in your home can hold toxins, it’s best to figure out a way to purify your home.
Here in Dallas, we have a few days where we can just keep the windows open. It seems as though it’s either sweltering hot or just cold and gloomy outside. Having these plants in your home will help keep the air in your home clean and fresh. Plants naturally absorb carbon dioxide and release oxygen. According to NASA, these are the best plants to use.
Snake Plant – Oxygen Producer
Snake plants are great to keep in your bedroom because these plants release oxygen at night. They also produce enough oxygen that people in an air-sealed room can breathe normally. To take care of these plants, just water them once a week and let the soil dry between watering. For best results, keep these plants near a window.
Peace Lily
A peace lily is great for people who like to have flowers in their house. These great plants remove ammonia, formaldehyde, trichlorobenzene, and benzene from the air. Be careful with these plans though if you have kids or pets. The leaves of this plant can be toxic if eaten.
Bamboo Palm
The great thing about bamboo palms is that they are safe for both children and pets. These plants are great for adding moisture to the air during winter. It also thrives on indirect sunlight and away from cold drafty areas. Keep these plants watered and by regularly misting their leaves.
