Unseen toxins, dust, and dirt can accumulate in our homes and have a knock-on effect on our health. So if you’re looking to breathe easy and add some character to your home, our range of air-purifying indoor plants is just what you need!

Detoxify Your Home With Air Purifying Indoor Plants

So not only do houseplants improve our productivity, reduce stress and enhance calm, but they also have a knack for cleaning the air in our homes. NASA’s clean air study found that plants like snake plants and rubber plants can remove toxins from indoor air. And while you’d need a fair amount of indoor plants to make a significant difference, that shouldn’t be a problem, as we have plenty for you to choose from!

Building a collection of functional foliage at home will make you feel more at ease when it comes to indoor pollution. Also, indoor jungles are a wonderful way of bringing the outdoors in and adding some much-needed nature into our everyday lives.

Which Indoor Plants Can Purify The Air?

All indoor houseplants can purify the air, but some are more skilled than others. For example, the areca palm; this elegant plant will add a tropical vibe to your home, whether you have it in the living room or the bedroom. But wherever you place it, ensure you give it a nice sunny spot to sit in, ideally next to an east or west-facing window. The areca palm also loves humidity, so be sure to mist it regularly to keep it fresh and thriving.

However, for something slightly smaller (yet mighty), a stunning peace lily could be a great addition to your home office or bathroom. The contrast between this plant’s deep green leaves and elegant white flowers make it incredibly striking. The peace lily likes to live in moist soil and enjoy bright, indirect light, and just like the areca palm, it’s at its happiest when regularly misted.

Even inexperienced plant parents can benefit from popping a few air-purifying houseplants around the home. The golden pothos and jade plant are two hardy (practically unkillable) plant pals that even the most notorious of all plant killers will be able to look after.

A Range of Air-purifying Plants to Satisfy All The Senses

Whether you want to purify the air in your home, protect your pets, or want something low-maintenance, we have a plant for your home. Our range of plants come in all shapes and sizes and go from deep green all the way to vibrant red, meaning they'll fit in with any decor vibe you may have. We also now deliver all over the UK, having expanded from our roots in London.
