Unfortunately, the air quality in modern city apartments often leaves much to be desired, and this is due not only to the polluted air of megacities in general, but also to the release of far from the most useful substances by objects in the house - for example, the usual linoleum, the now popular laminate and even some completely uncomplicated electrical appliances often contain traces of formaldehyde hazardous to human health! That is why the air quality in our homes is definitely in need of improvement! And our beloved green pets will help us improve it - yes, fortunately, many of them are endowed with the ability to significantly improve the air
Indoor geranium
This incredibly beautiful flower is an excellent fighter against pathogenic bacteria and germs, so if there are no allergy sufferers in the house, be sure to get this spectacular beauty! But for allergy sufferers, it is better to turn their attention to other plants, since indoor geranium can worsen their well-being. As for everyone else, the most useful essential oils secreted by geraniums will have an extremely positive effect both on the air and directly on the body! Moreover, geranium is excellent for helping to calm the nervous system and in every possible way contributes to improving the quality of sleep!
Chlorophytum
This plant can be safely called the "lungs" of the room, because it is endowed with the ability to actively take in from the air a truly incredible amount of all kinds of toxic substances, including unsafe carbon monoxide! And in terms of the volume of oxygen evolution, and even more so in terms of the ability to cleanse the air from formaldehydes, it has no equal at all!
Gerbera
Anyone who believes that gerbera is acquired solely for decorative purposes is deeply mistaken - connoisseurs willingly acquire this beauty also because it quickly helps to improve sleep, and also actively absorbs benzene from the surrounding space.
Begonia
This green pet perfectly humidifies the air and boasts a truly unique ability to attract dust - in order for it to absorb new portions of dust again and again, like a vacuum cleaner, it must be periodically sprayed (for this, it is enough to purchase a spray bottle). But this is not all the "magic" properties of begonia - among other things, it has the ability to kill the lion's share of the microbes and fungi in the air, and also perfectly helps to cope with the radiation emanating from various electrical appliances. And luxurious bright begonia flowers will easily decorate even the most unpretentious interior - in general, some solid pluses!
Aloe
Ideally, this plant should be in every home! Firstly, aloe quickly eliminates formaldehyde released by recently purchased furniture from the air, and secondly, with its help, you can cure a cold and a runny nose in the shortest possible time - to get rid of the latter, it is enough just to instill a few drops of aloe juice into your nose from time to time …
Ficus Benjamin
This is the second, after chlorophytum, a faithful assistant for purifying the air from all kinds of toxic compounds (evaporated both by plastic objects and furniture) and dust. And also the ficus Benjamin has one very interesting feature - its growing trunks can be twisted into original, and sometimes very bizarre shapes!
Hamedorea, or bamboo palm
Perfectly humidifying the air, chamedorea simultaneously cleans it from the destructive formaldehyde. True, the room for placing this beauty should ideally be spacious enough, since its height can reach one and a half to two meters!
Spathiphyllum
And this workaholic with lightning speed cleans harmful mold spores from the air and perfectly cleans it of formaldehyde with trichlorethylene.
Cypress
It is worth paying attention to the cypress tree - it not only perfectly cleans the air space from dust, but also actively removes negative ions emitted by various electrical appliances from it, at the same time giving back positive ions and noticeably discharging the air thanks to this ability!
