Bring the beauty of creation into your home with plants that not only add texture and color to your rooms, but also can improve your indoor environment by purifying the air you breathe.
In 1989 NASA conducted a "clean air study" in response to the growing "sick building syndrome." The NASA team's research demonstrated that certain plants act as natural air filters removing organic air pollutants released, for example, by furniture, insulation, and paints. Plants turn our carbon dioxide into oxygen.
Among the plants on NASA's list of best plants to improve your home's air quality is the Snake Plant. Unlike most plants that only filter carbon dioxide to oxygen during the day, the Snake Plant does it during the night as well. It is low maintenance, needing only occasional watering, and it grows best in bright indirect light.
Plants on NASA's list come in all shapes and size including: English Ivy, Peace Lily, Bamboo Palm, and Weeping Fig.
