Improve Your Air Quality: Indoor House Plants to Clean and Filter the Air in your Home or Office
You don't even need a green thumb to get the benefits from these easy to grow plants! Most of these plants are shade loving varieties that will flourish in your home or office and filter the contaminants/pollutants out of the air. Closed in spaces without proper ventilation can be unhealthy, especially when new plastics, rugs, or VOCs (volatile organic compounds, like paint or new plastic) enter the mix. When windows aren't an option, plants can help clean the air quicker, resulting in a more healthy indoor environment. Read on for some recommended plants to grow indoors to filter and clean the air!
English Ivy
Fast growing, fast air cleaning plant
English Ivy is a very fast growing plant outside, and still grows quickly inside as well. Often this plant proliferates fast, and looks for places to attach its rootlets climbing vertically (though will spread horizontally as well). Very tolerant of low light conditions, this plant is often considered invasive in the wild of the Pacific Northwest region of the United States. The rate at which this plant grows will accelerate the improvement of air quality quicker than most other plants.
