8 Air Cleaning Indoor Plants

October 9, 2015

Indoor plants have proven to be very extremely beneficial in purifying and renewing indoor air by filtering out toxins, pollutants and the carbon dioxide we exhale. Research from NASA shows that some plants in particular are more efficient in filtering out toxins than others. Here are their top picks:

Chinese Evergreen – An excellent plant for purifying your indoor air. It has the desirable characteristics of shade tolerance and a large leaf area.

Heart leaf philodendron – NASA determined that Philodendrons were among the best indoor plants for removing formaldehyde from the air, especially at higher concentrations. At lower concentrations it was found that Aloe Vera removed formaldehyde more efficiently.

Spider Plants – This plant placed in the top three of indoor plants that are efficient at the removal of formaldehyde from indoor air.

Aloe Vera – Aloe was shown to be much more efficient at the removal of formaldehyde at lower concentrations than Philodendrons. Aloe is also renowned as a medicinal plant known for it’s healing properties, giving it many of its nicknames.

Mums – NASA has determined this plant to be effective in the removal of benzene, a known carcinogen.

Golden Pothos – This plant placed in the top three for indoor plants that remove formaldehyde from our indoor air, according to NASA studies.

Gerbera Daisy – NASA’s research shows Gerbera to be superior in the removal of benzene, a well-known carcinogen.

Heart leaf philodendron – NASA determined that Philodendrons were among the best indoor plants for removing formaldehyde from the air, especially at higher concentrations. At lower concentrations it was found that Aloe Vera removed formaldehyde more efficiently.
