"Natural" Air Purifiers...How You can Improve your Indoor Air Quality with Houseplants

In just minutes per day, you can improve the air quality  in your home. According to NASA studies, the following houseplants have been established to remove harmful chemicals from the atmosphere. They thrive in low-light conditions, are easy to grow, and require little care. Visit your local nursery and let's get started clearing harmful chemicals from the air, because small varieties of each plant are often available for just a dollar each! For a home under 2000 square feet, NASA recommends 15 houseplants (one of each).
You'll find the reduced toxins and improved air quality will help your health and well-being very soon.

NASA recommends that you grow these houseplants in at least six-inch containers. They can even be placed in dark corners.

To remove trichloroethylene, which is released by paints, varnishes, adhesives, and inks, try planting:
Gerbera daisy
Bamboo palm (Chamaedorea sefritzii)
Peace lily (Spathiphyllum `Mauna Loa')

To get rid of formaldehyde, which is released by building materials including particle board and foam insulations, cosmetics, fragrances, cleaning solutions, and many, other common household items, try planting:
Red-edged Dracena (dracaena marginata)
Mother-in-law's tongue (Sansevieria trifasciata)
Dracaena warneckei (Dracaena deremensis `Warneckii')
Peace lily (Spathiphyllum `Mauna Loa')
Golden pothos (Epipiremnum aureum)
Green spider plant (Chlorophytum comosum)
Bamboo palm (Chamaedorea sefritzii)

To remove benzene, which is released by oils, solvents and paints, try planting one of each of the following plants:

Gerbera daisies
Chrysanthemums
peace lily (Spathiphyllum `Mauna Loa')
English ivy (Hedera helix)
Bamboo palm (Chamaedorea sefritzii)
Mother-in-law's Tongue or Snake Plant (Sansevieria trifasciata)

Some suggestions....

          Take your houseplants outside occasionally to "sun". Peace lilies need sun to bloom.
          Some of your friends or neighbors may have extra plants and pots to give you. Spider plants in particular produce lots of "babies".
          Keep your furry pet away from some of these varieties as they may prove toxic.
          Limit your use of non-natural fertilizers and pesticides.
          Pour out excess water. It will attract fungus gnats and mosquitoes. Don't over-water plants...excess moisture will breed mold.
