Here are Huntsville PR’s top ten plants for removing pollutants from the air and giving your home a cleaner breath.
- The Feston Rose Plant: This plant has a variety of colors on it’s flowers and is incredibly low maintenance. It purifies the air while leaving a wonderful scent with it.
- The Devil’s Ivy: “This plant acts as an excellent natural anti-pollutant against common pollutants like benzene, formaldehyde and carbon monoxide.” But be careful, you can’t eat this whatsoever, apparently, not even your pet should ingest this. It’s a vine plant that grows down and has marbled, gold leaves.
- Phalaenopsis: This is a smaller plant that purifies the air. It blooms with large flowers colored pink and white with only a few leaves.
- The English Ivy: “This plant is known to filter indoor pollutants like fecal particles, formaldehyde aerosols and much more and keep your house toxin free. It is apparently ideal for pets as well because of what it purifies. That said, this plant is also poisonous so take extra care if you use it inside.
- The Parlor Ivy: This is a beautiful plant with heart shaped leaves colored a deep green. This plant filters out unwanted and harmful chemicals from the air in your home.
- The African Violets: This is a beautiful plant with violet flowers. You need to cut the leaves and this plant will also purify the air. However, keep your eyes out for bugs that can infest it.
- The Christmas Cactus: “The blooms are beautiful violet, pink, red, oranges, fuschia colored glossy flowers.” As though it’s not obvious, this plant makes a wonderful Christmas gift and requires an adequate amount of water and light.
- The Yellow Goddess: This plant is actually a green color at the base but blooms beautiful yellow flowers. “This plant needs bright light but not directly from the sun.”
- The Garlic Vine: This plant has the smell of garlic and onion when crushed, hence, the garlic vine. This plant, very similar to real garlic, serves as a treatment as well as an air purifier.
- The Peace Lily: This plant bears beautiful white flowers and they grow right out of the base of the plant. “The nail polishes, paints, other solvents and adhesives contain harmful pollutants like benzene, toluene and xylene. These pollutants are successfully filtered out in the ambiance of your house by the beautiful Peace lily houseplant.”
