In the quest for a healthier indoor climate, there is a simple yet effective solution right in front of us - plants. Plants have been shown to have a positive effect on both air quality and well-being in our homes and workplaces. But which plants are best suited for the purpose? Let's explore some of the best plants for a healthy indoor climate, based on the latest research.
According to a study by SBI , green plants can significantly improve indoor air quality by reducing air pollution and increasing humidity. Plants absorb carbon dioxide and release oxygen through the process of photosynthesis, resulting in cleaner, fresher air.
Research from Grøn Jord shows that plants not only contribute to better air quality, but can also increase well-being and productivity. This is due, among other things, to the ability of plants to reduce stress and create a more pleasant atmosphere.
According to Bolius , plants have a direct positive impact on both the indoor climate and the working environment. They can reduce noise, regulate humidity and even help reduce sick leave in the workplace.
It's clear that plants play a crucial role in creating a healthy indoor climate. But which plants are best for the purpose? Here are some of our recommendations:
Known for its air-purifying properties and ability to absorb harmful substances like formaldehyde and benzene, the peace lily thrives in shady environments and requires minimal care, making it ideal for offices and bedrooms.
The fern is an excellent humidifier and can reduce dry air and improve indoor climate in rooms with low humidity. It thrives best in well-drained soil and indirect light, making it suitable for bathrooms and kitchens.
