Does spider plant absorb formaldehyde? The number one plant for removing formaldehyde

1. Do spider plants absorb formaldehyde?

Chlorophytum can absorb formaldehyde. Chlorophytum carries out photosynthesis under weak light and can absorb more than 80% of harmful gases in the room. In addition to formaldehyde, it can also absorb ammonia, benzene, toluene, xylene, etc. Although spider plants can absorb formaldehyde, they cannot absorb it completely. If you grow 1-2 pots of spider plants in a room of average size, the amount of formaldehyde they absorb is equivalent to the amount adsorbed by 10 grams of coconut charcoal, thereby purifying the air and improving air quality. For a newly renovated room, if you want to remove formaldehyde, you can place a few pots of spider plants, but you also need to increase ventilation.
