Formaldehyde is a common indoor air pollutant, and many plants have some formaldehyde absorption capacity. Here are some of the fastest and most effective plants that absorb formaldehyde:
Monstera: The leaves of Monstera are very large, which can absorb more than 90% of formaldehyde in the air, and can purify other volatile gases such as toluene, which is very suitable for placing in new houses.
Pothos: Pothos is a common indoor air purifier plant, known as a "natural air purifier". It can quickly and effectively absorb harmful gases such as formaldehyde and benzene left after decoration. Scientists have shown that putting a pot of pothos in a room of about 10 square meters is as purifying as an air purifier.
Ivy: Ivy has the characteristics of preferentially adsorbing formaldehyde, benzene and other harmful gases in the air, and at the same time can adjust the indoor temperature and humidity, reduce noise and dust. In addition, ivy is very ornamental and comes alive indoors.
One-leaf orchid: One-leaf orchid is also one of the plants with strong formaldehyde removal ability, its leaves are very large, the color is green, and it can play a role in greening the environment while effectively purifying indoor harmful gases. In addition, the orchid has a certain ability to regulate the temperature and humidity of the room, which helps to improve indoor comfort.
In addition, plants such as spider plant and tiger tail also have a certain formaldehyde absorption capacity. When choosing a plant, in addition to considering its formaldehyde absorption capacity, it should also consider the difficulty of plant maintenance, the need for light, water and other conditions, as well as personal preferences and indoor environment and other factors. At the same time, it should be noted that although these plants have a certain formaldehyde absorption capacity, they cannot completely rely on plants to purify indoor formaldehyde pollution, and they also need to combine other methods, such as ventilation and the use of activated carbon, to comprehensively deal with indoor formaldehyde problems.
