Combat Indoor Pollution With Thee Plants To Lower AQI And Refresh Your Space
Combat Indoor Pollution With Thee Plants To Lower AQI And Refresh Your Space
Pollution levels are on a steady rise across the country this winter season, making it hard to breathe. With outdoor air pollution getting worse, it is obvious that the air quality inside our homes will also not be optimal. Indoor air pollution tends to rise quickly when the AQI spikes, making even a regular day at home feel heavy and uncomfortable.
One of the simplest ways to freshen the air naturally is by adding plants that help purify it. These green companions fit effortlessly into any corner, brighten up your space and quietly improve the air quality. Certain plants can help with air quality by absorbing gases like carbon dioxide and pollutants through processes like photosynthesis and transpiration, converting them into oxygen and other compounds.
Below are some indoor plants that can help when AQI spikes:
Snake Plant
Known for its resilience, the snake plant thrives in low light and requires minimal care. Its firm, upright leaves help stabilise indoor air, making it an ideal choice for busy homes needing cleaner air without extra effort.
Spider Plant
With its long, arching leaves, the spider plant adds a gentle touch to any room. It grows easily in low light and looks great in hanging pots or small corners. Its mild air-purifying ability makes it a handy pick during AQI surges.
Areca Palm
The areca palm's soft, feathery leaves open up any space. Preferring filtered light near windows, it lifts the room's ambience and helps improve air quality on poor AQI days.
Peace Lily
Peace lilies thrive in shaded corners and perk up with regular watering. Their soft leaves lighten the air, making them perfect for bedrooms or study areas that need a fresh boost.
Chinese Evergreen
With vibrant, patterned leaves, the Chinese evergreen stays lively even in heavy air. It brightens shaded rooms and supports cleaner air, especially in homes relying on artificial lighting.
Money Plant
The trailing green leaves of the money plant bring a relaxed vibe on high AQI days. It fits perfectly on shelves, tables, or wall corners, quietly enhancing air quality.
Rubber Plant
Featuring large, glossy leaves, the rubber plant thrives in partial shade and adds a grounded, fresh feel to living rooms and bedrooms without demanding much care.
ZZ Plant
Ideal for rooms with minimal sunlight, the ZZ plant's thick, shiny leaves remain fresh for long periods. It's perfect for those wanting cleaner air with little maintenance.
