Some houseplants are known for their air purifying properties, which can reduce dust and reduce allergens in the air. Here is a list of plants that can help you:
- Ficus elastica (Rubber plant)
Capable of trapping dust on its large leaves. Improves air humidity, which helps reduce allergenic particles.
- Spathiphyllum (Peace lily)
Removes pollutants such as benzene and formaldehyde. Adds moisture to the air, which limits floating particles.
- Chlorophytum comosum (Spider plant)
Very effective at capturing dust particles. Improves air quality thanks to its purifying abilities.
4.Dracaena marginate
- Dracaena marginate
Reduces airborne toxins, such as formaldehyde. Low maintenance and contributes to cleaner air.
- Sansevieria (Mother-in-law’s Tongue)
Absorbs pollutants such as carbon dioxide and benzene. Produces oxygen at night, which is beneficial for bedrooms.
- Nephrolepis exaltata (Boston Fern)
Excellent natural humidifier, helping to reduce airborne irritants. Traps dust and improves breathing.
- Areca (Indoor Palm)
Increases humidity levels, reducing allergens. Can trap fine particles thanks to its dense foliage.
Tips to maximize their effect:
Clean the leaves regularly to prevent them from saturating with dust. Water and maintain properly to maintain good humidification capacity. Place them in the areas where you spend the most time (living room, bedroom). These plants can help reduce allergens, but remember that good home maintenance (vacuuming, air filtration) remains essential.
