THIS WEEK'S TIP FROM GARDEN GURU SUE BOTH

HOW TO GROW FRESH AIR!

How to Grow Fresh Air

You probably already know that plants are good for you and that you should eat more of them. But did you know that there are houseplants that will literally pull toxins from the air?

Some of us have green thumbs. Some of us are houseplant serial killers… Even if you fall into the plant killer category, you should buy and care for some air purifying houseplants in your home (and office).

Without ventilation, air gets toxic over time.

Back in the 1980s, NASA studied indoor air pollution and researched ways to clean the air inside space stations because apparently you can’t just open a window to air out the joint when you’re orbiting space.

Did you know that the research from NASA recommends having at least one air purifying plant per 33 square meters of home or office space?


Here are a few of the plants that comes out tops when it gets to purifying the air in your home or office:

  1. Love Palm or Chamaedorea elegans
  2. Mother in Law’s Tongue/Snake Plant or Sansevieria trifasciata,
  3. Money Plant or Philodendron scandens
  4. Spekboom or Protulacaria afra
