The following plants were chosen for their ease of growth and maintenance, removal of chemical vapors, resistance to insect manifestation and transpiration (humidification) rates:
* Lady Palm (Rhapis excelsa)
* Areca Palm (Chrysalidocarpus lutescens)
* Ficus alii (Ficus macleilandii)
* Peace Lilly (Spathiphyllum sp.)
* Golden Pothos (Epipremnun aureum)
* Arrowhead vine (Syngonium podophyllum)
* Bamboo palm (Chamaedorea seifritzii)
* Dwarf date palm (Phoenix roebelenii)
* Rubber plant (Ficus robusta)
* English ivy (Hedera helix) - (not Wild English Ivy, which is an invasive species)
Plants are nature's living air filters. Plants can literally suck out pollutants, absorb them, translocate them throughout the plant, and break them down.
So, if you add a few of the above named houseplants to your living and working areas, they will work to help clean your air! The ones listed above are tops in removing undesirable indoor air polluting substances, such as formaldehyde. They add healthy moisture to a room.
Living on Earth recommends you use 2 or 3 nice sized plants per 100 square feet. You can position the plants in the areas you spend most of your time.
In these winter months when we spend more time indoors, these plants can make a positive impact on your health and comfort!
