Moisture absorption and air purification
The spider plant is excellent for absorbing indoor moisture, potentially eliminating the need for dehumidifiers. This is crucial because excessive internal moisture can exacerbate health problems such as asthma. In addition, it can remove harmful pollutants such as carbon monoxide and xylene, thus ensuring cleaner air in your home.
Therapeutic benefits
Surprisingly, the spider plant has therapeutic properties. It is rich in polysaccharides, which are part of the hydrocolloid group, which help heal wounds and scars by regulating and stabilizing moisture in the epidermis.
This makes it an excellent solution for people with sensitive, easily irritable and dry skin.
Aesthetics
In addition to its health benefits, the spider plant is also aesthetic. Its long, pointed leaves vary in color from intense green to white, depending on the variety. It is a medium-sized plant, rarely exceeding 75 cm high. In spring, it blooms with small white, fragrant and delicate flowers.
Air purification champion
Scientific studies have shown that the spider plant can absorb up to 95% of the airborne carbon monoxide. It also removes formaldehyde from walls and floors. An intriguing fact is that its leaves can be used for teas or infusions, highlighting its versatility and its many properties.
In short, having a spider plant is to have a plant with extraordinary and almost miraculous characteristics, a real treasure for your home.
