Many of us know that houseplants produce oxygen, but fewer people are aware that some varieties can also help clean the air by filtering out mold, toxins, and pollutants, making them a great addition to a healthier home environment.
In fact, a NASA study found that certain houseplants are particularly effective at improving indoor air quality. These plants can help remove harmful substances like chemical fumes, dust, and toxins released from furniture, paint, and building materials.
Top 6 Air-Purifying Plants to Keep at Home
1. Aloe Vera
Aloe Vera doesn’t just soothe burns — it also boosts oxygen levels and absorbs carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide, and formaldehyde. It’s a natural air purifier that’s both practical and easy to maintain.
2. Ficus (Ficus Elastica)
Low-maintenance and tolerant of low light, the Ficus is excellent at removing formaldehyde from indoor air. However, its leaves can be toxic if ingested, so it’s not ideal for homes with pets or small children.
3. English Ivy (Hedera Helix)
