Plants that purify the air..

Studies by NASA prove certain plants help keep the air in your house cleaner and increase oxygen levels. More general studies over time have shown that plants help us to: Have fewer headaches and coughs and feel less tired.

I found out about these on my recent break to Thorsby Hall. We visited Welbeck garden centre one day & there they were.
My friend Jean & I both bought a Dracaena which I have placed in the bedroom.

Now I plan on getting a lot more for all over the house.

Very interesting Carol, I may invest in a couple of those plants on my next visit to the Garden Centre.

Thanks for the link.

Re: Plants that purify the air..

We've been interested in this for a while and have several air cleaning plants in each room, TBH I haven't noticed much difference. Either means our air was clean to start with or they don't work I guess

I've got 2 Spider Plants, and 5 Aloe's indoors.

I keep my Aloes to soothe the awful insect bites I get every summer, plus any scalds/burns/skin irritations for both me and my dogs.
These plants make young baby plantlets all the time, so it is really easy to increase your stock if you wanted more.

They are good for minor burns too I find, those I touched the oven shelf as I got the baking tray out of the oven times.
