The houseplant that absorbs humidity and purifies the air

Pothos

Like the previous plants, Pothos (scientific name  Epipremnum aureum  ) requires little attention. Which, however, returns the favor by helping to remove formaldehyde, xylene, toluene, benzene and carbon monoxide. It likes light, but not direct sunlight, and it has the particularity of  developing quickly and abundantly  : you can leave it hanging with its leaves out of the pot or let it climb on a support.

Sansevieria

Mother-in-law’s tongue or snake plant? No matter what you prefer to call it, just know that sanseveria is another useful plant for making the air in your four walls cleaner. Consider that it is capable of absorbing at least  107 pollutants  , including formaldehyde, benzene, xylene and trichlorethylene. Don’t consider yourself a green thumb? Peaceful, it does not need constant monitoring, since it is a very hardy evergreen plant   , capable of going weeks without water and thriving in any environment, even in low light conditions .
