With only three varieties of plants, we can "grow our own fresh air" indoors, to keep us healthy.
 |
| Fresh air plant |
- Areca Palm (Chrysalidocarpus lutescens)
- Works well in the day time
- Great for living areas
- One needs about 4 shoulder high plants/person
- Needs to be put outdoors once every 3-4 months
- The leaves of the plant need to be wiped everyday in Delhi and perhaps once a month in a cleaner city
- The soil used should be of vermi manure or use hydroponics
- Mother-in-law’s Tongue (Sansevieria trifasciata)
- Converts CO2 into O2 at night
- One requires about 6-8 such waist high plants per person in the bedroom
- Leaves need to be wiped in the same way as the Areca Palm
- The soil used should be of vermi manure or use hydroponics
- Money Plant (Epipremnum aureum)
- Excellent for removing Formaldehyde and other VOC’s
- Best grown using hydroponics
