Let's start the "go green" from our home.
A houseplant is a plant that is grown indoors in places such as residences and offices. Houseplants are commonly grown for decorative purposes, positive psychological effects, or health reasons.
In the late '80s, NASA and the Associated Landscape Contractors of America studied houseplants as a way to purify the air in space facilities. They have found several plants that filter out common volatile organic compounds (VOCs). Yes, plants can even clean and keep our home look fresh, which is typically far more polluted
than outdoor air.
Few Houseplants
1. Aloe (Aloe vera) - Aloe is a smart choice for a sunny kitchen window. Beyond its air-clearing abilities, the gel inside an aloe plant can help heal cuts and burns.
2.Spider plant (Chlorophytum comosum) - the spider plant battles benzene, formaldehyde, carbon monoxide and xylene, a solvent used in the leather, rubber and printing industries.
3. Gerber daisy (Gerbera jamesonii) - This bright, flowering plant is effective at removing trichloroethylene, which you may bring home with your dry cleaning. It’s also good for filtering out the benzene that comes with inks.
4. Snake Plant - Also known as mother-in-law’s tongue, this plant is one of the best for filtering out formaldehyde, which is common in cleaning products, toilet paper, tissues and personal care products.
5.Golden pothos (Scindapsus aures) - Another powerful plant for tackling formaldehyde, this fast-growing vine will create a cascade of green from a hanging basket.
6.Chrysanthemum - The colorful flowers of a mum can do a lot more than brighten a home office or living room; the blooms also help filter out benzene, which is commonly found in glue, paint, plastics and detergent.
