Air purifying house plants

I like artificial plant when I want to decorate my home and effortless on maintenance but if come to benefit of alive plant that good to purifying the air so I prefer alive plant. Well alive plant also bring a good energy to your home make your home feel cozy. 

Air filter plants are great in purifying air so they are good for someone with asthma, allergies, or just likes the idea. I also got information that some plants also reduce radiation from some electronic devices. Here are some air purifying plants that you can choose to adding beauty and as air filter for your home:

1. Bamboo Palm: 

Bamboo palm is a plant name applied to certain genera and species of palm trees. They are unrelated to true bamboos.

• Chamaedorea
• Dypsis, specifically Dypsis lutescens, native to Madagascar
• Raphia, specifically Raphia vinifera, native to Nigeria

According to NASA, it removes formaldehyde and is also said to act as a natural humidifier.

2. Snake Plant (Sansevieria trifasciata or some people called it as mother in law tongue): 

Sansevieria trifasciata is a species of Sansevieria, native to tropical West Africa from Nigeria east to the Democratic Republic of the Congo. It is an evergreen herbaceous perennial plant forming dense stands, spreading by way of its creeping rhizome, which is sometimes above ground, sometimes underground. Its stiff leaves grow vertically from a basal rosette. Mature leaves are dark green with light gray-green cross-banding and usually range between 70–90 cm (27–36 in) long and 5–6 cm (2–2.5 in) wide.
It is commonly called the snake plant (not to be confused with the very similarly named "Snakeplant", Nassauvia serpens), because of the shape of its leaves, or mother-in-law's tongue because of their sharpness. In China, it is known as hǔwěilán (虎尾兰, Tiger's Tail Orchid). In Japan, it is called 'Tiger's Tail,(とらのお）'. In Brazil, it is commonly known as espada-de-são-jorge (sword-of-saint-george). Due to its blade-like shape, it is commonly associated with Ogun, the orisha of war (usually associated with Saint George), and is used in rituals to remove the evil eye. A yellow-tipped variant is known as espada-de-santa-barbara (sword-of-saint-barbara), and is associated with Iansan/Oya, the female orisha of storms (usually associated with the sword-bearing image of Saint Barbara). In Africa, the plant is used as a protective charm against evil or bewitchment

Found by NASA to absorb nitrogen oxides and formaldehyde.

3. Areca Palm: 

Areca is a genus of about 50 species of palms in the family Arecaceae, found in humid tropical forests from China and India, across the Malay Archipelago, to the Solomon Islands. The generic name Areca is derived from a name used locally on the Malabar Coast of India. 

They said that Areca is one of the best air purifying plants for general air cleanliness.

4. Spider Plant: 

Chlorophytum comosum, often called the spider plant, is a flowering perennial herb. It is native to tropical and southern Africa, but has become naturalized in other parts of the world, including western Australia and San Francisco, California. Variegated forms in particular are used as houseplants.

Great indoor plant for removing carbon monoxide and other toxins or impurities. Spider plants are one of three plants NASA deems best at removing formaldehyde from the air.

5. Peace Lily: Peace lilies could be called the “clean-all.” They’re often placed in bathrooms or laundry rooms because they’re known for removing mold spores. Also known to remove formaldehyde and trichloroethylene.

6. Gerbera Daisy: Not only do these gorgeous flowers remove benzene from the air, they’re known to improve sleep by absorbing carbon dioxide and giving off more oxygen over night.
