Rely on them to absorb formaldehyde - green purifiers

Monstera

When it comes to absorbing formaldehyde, Monstera is definitely number one. It can absorb 90% of the formaldehyde in the room within 2 hours, which is comparable to coconut charcoal which is specially designed to absorb formaldehyde! It can also absorb benzene and other toxic and harmful gases.

Maintenance points

Monstera likes a warm and humid environment, and the scattered light of the living room will be enough. You can grow it well by spraying water on the leaves and around the plant to keep them moist.

Tiger Piranha

A mature tiger skin plant can be placed in a room of 10 to 15 square meters. It can absorb a large amount of harmful gases, including formaldehyde, benzene, etc., and release oxygen at night, which is very good for the body.

Maintenance points

Sansevieria is simply a blessing for lazy people. You don’t have to worry about managing it. Just water it once every ten days or half a month. It doesn’t matter if the light is strong or weak. You just need to put it there and appreciate it.

Gardenia

Gardenia can actually absorb formaldehyde! That’s right, a gardening bureau has conducted special experiments and confirmed that among single small potted plants, gardenia has the strongest ability to absorb formaldehyde, and can also absorb sulfur dioxide and nitrogen compounds!

Maintenance points

Gardenia likes acidic soil. You can add some fruit peel water when watering it. It should be exposed to more sunlight. Every three to five days, water it with beer water to promote flowering.

Pothos

Green ivy is also an expert at absorbing formaldehyde. It can decompose harmful gases such as formaldehyde, benzene, and trichloroethylene into nutrients that are useful for its own growth.

Maintenance points

Bright scattered light is suitable for growing green radish. Watering it with rice washing water or blanching water every month will greatly speed up its growth.

Rely on them to absorb oil smoke - oil smoke killer

Chlorophytum

Chlorophytum can absorb carbon monoxide and sulfur peroxide in stoves, electrical appliances and other plastic containers. It can also absorb oil smoke and dust and inhibit bacterial growth. It is equivalent to a small air purifier.

Maintenance points

Chlorophytum is easy to grow and can grow very fast with weak light, but it needs to be watered and sprayed with water frequently, otherwise the tips will easily dry out and turn yellow.

Silver Queen

Silver Queen can absorb oil smoke and formaldehyde in the air. The higher the concentration of pollutants, the stronger its ability to purify the air. It can still grow in humid, stuffy and poorly lit kitchens.

Maintenance points

Schefflera is relatively drought-resistant. Water it less in autumn and winter, and wait until the surface of the pot is dry before watering. After watering, place it in a ventilated place to speed up transpiration.

ivy

There are tiny pores on the leaves of ivy, which can convert nicotine in smoke and harmful substances such as formaldehyde and benzene in the air into harmless nutrients such as sugars and amino acids.
