Air purifying houseplant

Did you know that some plants not only provide atmosphere and oxygen, but also have an air-purifying effect? That means cleaner and fresher air in your home. These natural air fresheners are the perfect office plants, but are also pleasant in the living room or bedroom. But how exactly do these plants work? And what are the best air-purifying houseplants?

Clean air in the house

Nowadays our houses are so well insulated that we are more likely to experience dry air and too little oxygen in our rooms. Unhealthy air in the home can lead to complaints such as headaches, sleeping problems, skin complaints and lung problems (asthma).

Various factors play a role in creating a healthy and pleasant indoor climate, such as temperature, sufficient daylight and good air quality. Of course, sufficient ventilation is important for air quality, but plants can also help. They not only help to improve air quality, but also provide better acoustics and atmosphere and really make your house a home.

Natural air freshener

Every houseplant produces oxygen, but not all houseplants have an air-purifying effect. However, there is a group of houseplants that have been scientifically proven to contribute to cleaner air in the home. These plants absorb harmful substances from the air through their leaves. These substances are then stored and broken down in the plant or root. Air-purifying houseplants convert CO2 into oxygen during the day and they release water vapor into the air, which improves humidity. Air-purifying houseplants can also break down 'bad odors'; so they are actually a kind of natural air freshener. These plants improve the indoor climate in your home, making you feel more comfortable and allow you to work better and more concentrated, ideal if you often work from home.

Types of air-purifying houseplants

There are a number of houseplants that are capable of purifying the air indoors. But which plants are best for the living environment in your home? The peace lily is a plant that does its best to improve air quality. This plant blooms profusely and is easy to care for, ideal for the office or in the living room.
