- Areca palm – (Chrysalidocarpus lutescens)
- Snake plant or mother-in-law’s tongue – (Sansevieria trifasciata ‘Laurentii’)
- Golden pothos or Devil’s ivy – (Scindapsus aures or Epipremnum aureum)
The “Areca Palm” removes CO2 and converts it into oxygen during the day. The “Snake Plant” converts CO2 into oxygen at night. The “Golden pothos” removes formaldehyde and other chemicals from your air.
Using these plants has shown significant oxygen level improvements in real world situations. Having these plants in your home can increase blood oxygen levels by 1% in 10 hours. They can reduce headaches, eye irritation, asthma and other respiratory problems.
These three plants are just a few of the many plants that are considered Air Filtering Plants. NASA has identified a number of similar plants in it’s Clean Air Study — an attempt to understand natural ways to purify air in closed spaces, on earth and beyond.
