Breathe and sleep better by giving the houseplants in your home a bit of a reshuffle. Adding a bit of greenery to your interior is a great way to make an otherwise plain house feel like a home. Not only do houseplants look stunning and smell gorgeous, but they have even been shown to improve our mood and help us feel more relaxed.
Many species are also great at absorbing dust, lowering air pollution, and sucking out moisture - which is great for those with respiratory issues like asthma or COPD. But, it turns out there is actually a strategy around which houseplant should go where - and you've probably got it all wrong. Chinese Evergreen This flamboyant plant adds a splash of colour to any room, but is most suited to the bathroom.
This is because it's considered 'one of the best' plants for cleansing the air of toxins including formaldehyde, which is often found in cosmetics. Chinese Evergreen (Algaonema spp) are also low maintenance and easy to grow for beginners. They can survive in low-light conditions and love high humidity (meaning those steamy showers actually come in handy).
Just make sure your pot has adequate drainage to prevent root rot. Peace Lily Known for its distinct white flowers and glossy leaves, Peace Lily can 'effectively absorb toxins like benzene' meaning it's great for any indoor space. However, Peace Lilies (Spathiphyllym) are ideal for the bedroom due to their Crassulacean acid metabolism.
This basically means that unlike most plants, Peace Lilies will.
