Then you can grow Swedish ivy in the living room. The tiny pores on the leaves can effectively absorb formaldehyde and nicotine in the air, converting them into harmless sugars and amino acids. It can also absorb smoke produced by smoking and resist the carcinogens in nicotine. Swedish ivy can convert nicotine produced by smoking in the air into oxygen and carbon dioxide. These two plants are very suitable for growing in the living room.
