Speaking of Clean Air
July 6, 2009
I recently read an article about some research at NASA that suggested that houseplants are a great antidote to many of the unhealthful substances that contribute to poor indoor air quality. Greenery soaks up VOCs (Volatile Organic Chemicals), breaks them down and uses them for food. The suggestion was that two to three houseplants in 8 to 10 inch pots for every 100 square feet of living area will help to clean up the air you breathe.
Here are some of these recommended super plants.
Bamboo Palm
Lady Palm
Dwarf Date Palm
Janet Craig Dracena
English Ivy
Kimberly queen
Weeping Fig
Gerbera Daisy
Corn Plant
Warneckei Dracena
Boston Fern
Peace Lily
Rubber Plant
Florists Mum
Hot only will these plants make your home pretty, they will contribute to the healthfulness of the air you breathe. Plants inside and outside of our homes are valuable in many ways.
