A few years ago we looked at a TED talk on how to grow fresh air inside. The information was based largely on NASA’s research done in the 1980s called Interior Landscape Plants for Indoor Air Pollution Abatement, which looked into which plants are best for cleaning interior working spaces. They first looked at what is in the air in an average office then set out to find plants that remove chemicals that harm humans.
Here’s the list from NASA and the TED talk:
- Areca Palm (Chrysalidocarpus lutescens)
- Weeping Fig
- Money Plant (Epipremnum aureum)
- Kimberley Queen Fern
- Moter-in-law’s Tongue (sansveria trifascata)
- Lady Palm (Rhapis excelsa)
- Lillyturf
- Barberton Daisy
- Bamboo palm (Chamaedorea seifrizii)
- Rubber Plant (Ficus robusta)
- Flamingo Lilly
- Dwarf Date Palm (Phoenix roebelenii)
- Spider Plant
- Chinese Evergreen
- Ficus Alii (Ficus macleilandii “Alii”)
- Boston Fern (Nephrolepis exaltata “Bostoniensis”)
