Use these plants to naturally purify the air.

As a homeowner, the last thing that you want is for your loved ones and guests to breathe in chemical-filled air.  While you can improve your home’s air quality by investing in an air filter, you have some more natural options as well.  In fact, there are many common indoor plants that have air filtering capabilities.  Here are some of the houseplants that you should consider buying.

Peace Lily

Peace lilies are striking plants with their thick green leaves and white, tear-drop shaped flowers.  These indoor plants are great at removing harmful chemicals, particularly ammonia, from the air.  As an added bonus, these plants love the shade and are easy to care for, making them a perfect addition to any home.

Ficus

Ficus, also known as weeping figs, resemble small trees with their sturdy trunk and numerous leaves.  While this is a larger indoor plant, ficus are great because they are low maintenance and only require being placed in a sunny spot.  Ficus work to remove harmful compounds found in solvents and grease-cleaners from the air.

Snake Plant

Snake plants feature long, two-toned leaves that stretch upwards.  These plants are beloved, not only for their striking appearance but also for their ability to remove potentially harmful gases known as volatile organic compounds (VOCs) from the air.  These plants are also notoriously hardy, so long as homeowners are careful not to overwater.

These are some of the indoor plants that can improve your home’s air quality.  Want another way to take care of your loved ones and house guests?  If so, then make sure you have the right homeowners insurance protections in place.  For assistance will all your home coverage needs, contact the experts at the Scavone Insurance Agency Center LLC in White Plains, New York today.
