Ficus (Ficus elastica)

Ficus, which is also called the rubber tree, is famous not only for its aesthetic qualities, but also for its ability to purify the air from harmful impurities.

This plant has a unique ability to absorb toxic substances such as formaldehyde and benzene, which can accumulate, for example, in leather furniture and household chemicals.

Areca palm (Dypsis lutescens)

The areca palm not only fits perfectly into the interior, but also effectively filters the air from ammonia and xylene.

Its decorative feathers not only improve the visual perception of space, but also serve as an effective filter for harmful substances.

Chlorophytum (Chlorophytum comosum)

Chlorophytum, or "spider plant", does a good job of purifying the air from carbon monoxide, formaldehyde and xylene.

Its ease of care and ability to reproduce make it an ideal solution for those looking for a reliable green companion.

Dracaena

Ornamental varieties of dracaena not only add coziness to your home, but also effectively filter the air from toxic substances such as trichloroethylene and xylene.

There are many varieties of dracaena suitable for different interiors.

Create a fresh air zone in your home with these plants. In addition to their health benefits, they will also add a touch of nature and coziness to your home.
