Five plants that can detox your home and make it less dry

If you're looking to reduce toxins, boost humidity, or simply freshen up your space, then you had better grab some flowers - and you don't need to spend a lot. According to experts

at Eflorist, who have revealed the best flowers to have in your home for naturally cleaner air, many of them are easy to care for too. But how do they do this? The specialists explain that

flowers contribute to cleaner indoor air in several different ways. First, they can help with absorbing toxins, as some flowers, like houseplants, have the ability to absorb pollutants such

as formaldehyde and ammonia, which are commonly found in household products. They can also help to increase humidity, as flowers release moisture into the air, which can help combat dryness.

As well as this, they release oxygen through photosynthesis and since flowers take in carbon dioxide and release oxygen, they improve the freshness of your indoor environment. Finally, they

can provide a natural fragrance, so instead of using artificial air fresheners filled with chemicals, you can use fresh flowers as a natural way to keep your home smelling good. And flowers

look incredible in any home. But whilst all flowers can look great, they don't all do the same job. So what plans should you buy? 1. PEACE LILIES The specialists said that these

flowers "are one of the most effective air purifying flowers or houseplants" which are best known for their abilities "remove dangerous toxins like formaldehyde, benzene, and

carbon monoxide." They said: "So much so that research from NASA identifies them as one of the best air-purifying houseplants. They also thrive in low-light conditions, making them

easy to care for, so even beginner gardeners and flower enthusiasts can enjoy the benefits of peace lilies!" 2. CHRYSANTHEMUMS These bright and cheerful flowers do more than just look

pretty. Chrysanthemums have been found to remove harmful pollutants, including ammonia and benzene - making them a great flower to purify air. However, they require a good amount of

sunlight, so it’s important to position them near a window where they can get an ample amount throughout the day. 3. LAVENDER This is best-known for it's relaxing scent and is used in a

variety of ways. But did you know it can also help to improve air quality, making it another of the best air purifying plants? The firm said: "Lavender can help to filter air

pollutants, and it releases a lovely, calming fragrance naturally, eliminating the need for any synthetic air fresheners in your home." 4. JASMINE Jasmine flowers emit a sweet fragrance

and can improve sleep quality and reduce stress by promoting relaxation. It’s also a great oxygen-producing flower for your bedroom, and creates a calming atmosphere whilst absorbing

harmful toxins such as formaldehyde, benzene, trichloroethylene, and xylene. 5. ORCHIDS Orchids are a fantastic choice for improving air quality, as they can absorb harmful chemicals like

xylene, toluene, and formaldehyde that can be found in the air. Just like jasmine, they also release oxygen at night, making them another excellent option for bedrooms. Thankfully, these

plants are also low-maintenance houseplant, as you only need to water them once every 7-10 days, meaning you can reap the benefits without doing much work.
