The role of spider plants

1. Decorative function

Chlorophytum is called the fairy of the sky. It often hangs in the air, with creeping stems of varying lengths hanging down along the edge of the pot. New plants grow at the top of the stems, floating in the air like flying butterflies. Its leaves are slender and green all year round, which looks very pleasing to the eye.

2. Purify the air

Chlorophytum not only decorates the room, but is also the best plant for purifying the air. Environmental experts once conducted an experiment. They placed it in a polluted room and exposed it to light. After a period of time, they tested the air and found that there were almost no harmful gases in the air. Its efficiency was completely inferior to that of a purifier.

Chlorophytum can also purify and decompose carcinogenic formaldehyde during its metabolism. It can absorb harmful gases from clean air within 24 hours. Just place a pot of it at home and it will absorb the carbon monoxide emitted by electrical appliances and paints within a day and pass it to the roots, where it will be decomposed into harmless substances through the soil. Therefore, it is particularly suitable to be placed in a newly renovated house that needs to be deodorized.
