Indoor air pollution is a real problem of our life. Everyday a lot of toxins come through the windows and doors. However, this problem can be partly solved by house plants. Let's check what plants can absorb toxins and ensure a a good night's sleep.

#1 Peace lily absorbs ammonia and formaldehyde

#2 Jasmine improves the quality of sleep

#3 Rosemary cleanses the air from germs

#4 Spider Plant removes air toxins (formaldehyde and xylene)

#5 Snake plant improves air quality. It's better to have several snake plants

#6 Rubber plant absorbs all air pollutants

#7 Azalea absorbs chemicals and with that improves indoor air

#8 Bromeliads absorb benzene. Don't forget that this plant grows in a well-lighted place

Bromeliades love low light in the shade under trees.. direct sunshine will burn them... PS i have hundreds of them.

I have two indoor kittens whose sole purpose in life is to make sure that nothing else, except me, shares their habitat, on top of that I do not have a green thumb.

I love nature and I have a big garden full of shrubs and flowers. I don’t need indoor plants because they are everywhere around the house. I am very lucky.
