Indoor air can contain pollutants, making it not as fresh as it should be. Synthetic furniture, paints and computers pump chemical vapors in the air. Air conditioning and heat dries the air. Combining those two can lead to complaints like allergy attacks, asthma, headaches, etc. Bringing plants indoors can help clean the air we breathe and get rid of toxins, help us stay healthy, feel happier and become more productive. Here are the top 10 best houseplants that clean the air:
- Bamboo Palm. This plant helps remove chemical vapors and helps create humidity. It’s very easy to care for and is resistant to insect infestation.
- Boston Fern. Boston Fern helps scrub the air of toxins and creates humidity, and needs regular misting and watering.
