Houseplants do more than just brighten up a room with color and living energy. Along with being pleasing to the eye, they bring real health benefits to your body. A classic NASA study found that common houseplants could improve air quality. In fact, they reported that houseplants were able to remove up to 87% of air toxins in 24 hours. The recommendation? Use 15-18 6-8” diameter containers for an 1800 square foot home.
Plants can remove a variety of toxic air emissions including ammonia, formaldehyde & carbon monoxide, just to mention a few.
According to a study by the University of Agriculture in Norway, indoor plants can cut fatigue, coughs, sore throats and other cold-related illness by more than 30%, partly by increasing humidity levels and decreasing dust.
