One of the most inexpensive ways to improve the air in our homes is with air cleaning houseplants. A common use for houseplants is decorating which is great for those who love plants and have lots of them in and around their home. The real question is why don’t most people have houseplants? The most common reason is the maintenance. I don’t believe that most people would just sacrifice the health benefits of air cleaning houseplants because watering and exposing them to sunlight would be too much work if they were educated on the facts. Certainly artificial plants look beautiful but serve one purpose and that is to look like the real thing. Why would anyone use artificial houseplants if they really knew of the air cleaning benefits of live houseplants? The fact is most people would run out and replace those artificial plants with real ones in a heartbeat. Many people I have spoken with are aware of the benefits of air cleaning houseplants but many are not aware and in fact were considering other means of expensive air filtering systems. This article is in no way to discount the benefits of air filtering systems because many systems available today can clean the indoors in a very short period of time efficiently.
Let’s talk about some real research conducted by N.A.S.A., that’s right, the National Aeronautics and Space Administration has conducted research over many years and documented discoveries on how houseplants improve indoor air. They have found many common houseplants help fight pollution by scrubbing significant amounts of harmful gases out of the air, filtering out common volatile organic compounds (VOCs) found in our homes, schools and work environments through the everyday process of photosynthesis. Not all plants have been studied for this benefit but it is a known fact of many researchers that all plant life has many benefits to our environment. N.A.S.A. studies generated recommendations that you use 15 to 18 good-sized air cleaning houseplants in 6 to 8-inch diameter containers to improve air quality in an average 1,800 square foot house.
The following list include 15 of these air cleaning plants that are easily available from your local nursery: 1) Philodendron scandens ‘oxycardium’, heartleaf philodendron; 2) Philodendron domesticum, elephant ear philodendron; 3) Dracaena fragrans `Massangeana’, cornstalk dracaena; 4) Hedera helix, English ivy; 5) Chlorophytum comosum, spider plant; 6) Dracaena deremensis ‘Janet Craig’, Janet Craig dracaena; 7) Dracaena deremensis `Warneckii’, Warneck dracaena; 
Ficus benjamina, weeping fig; 9) Epipiremnum aureum, golden pothos; 10) Spathiphyllum `Mauna Loa’, peace lily; 11) Philodendron selloum, selloum philodendron; 12) Aglaonema modestum, Chinese evergreen; 13) Chamaedorea sefritzii, bamboo or reed palm; 14) Sansevieria trifasciata, snake plant; 15) Dracaena marginata , red-edged dracaenathe. When making your purchase please be sure to ask the poisonous houseplants in the air cleaning group and the risks they pose on people and their pets.
