What kind of house plants help purify the air in your home?

It is funny that you should ask because I was just reading an article in a magazine about this very thing last night.





Anyway, what I found out was that houseplants are not only beautiful in the home, they can also help cleanse the air. Bamboo palm, Spider plant; flowering Mums; Peace lily plant and Mother-in-laws-tongue, are just a few of the best houseplants for purifying air in the home, according to an ongoing two-year study by NASA and the Associated Landscape Contractors of America (ALCA).





In the NASA/ALCA research it was determined that some plants are better than others for purifying the air indoors. The twelve plants tested were:





Bamboo palm, Chamaedorea seifritzii


Chinese evergreen, Aglaonema modestum


English ivy


Fiscus, Benjamina


Gerbera daisy, Transvaal daisy


Dracaena 'Janet Craig'


Dracaena 'Marginata'


Corn cane, Dracaena massangeana


Mother-in-law's tongue, Sansevieria laurentii


Peace lily, Spathiphyllum 'Mauna Loa'


Pot mum, Chrysanthemum


Dracaena 'Warneckei'





And, they look great, too!
