Certain plant species living in tropical environments have the ability to dehumidify the ambient air. They remove water from the air for nourishment, reducing excess humidity in your home. The Boston fern, for example, is best suited for this role. It should be placed in a bright place but protected from direct sunlight. If your living room lacks light, a spathiphyllum is just as effective.

To have a healthy indoor space, the humidity level must be between 40% and 60%. If your accommodation is above this average, you do not need a meter, certain signs are not misleading: fogging on the windows, musty smell, peeling wallpaper or baseboards, appearance of yellowish stains on the walls.
