Indoor plants
Common indoor plants provide a valuable weapon in the fight against rising levels of indoor air
pollution & are very useful in absorbing potentially harmful gases and cleaning the air inside
modern buildings and provide a natural way of helping combat “Sick building syndrome”. The
most common three air quality improving plants are Areca palm, Mother-in-Law’s Tongue and
Money Plant.

Areca palm(livingroom plant) is a plant which removes CO2 and converts it into oxygen.
We need four shoulder high plants per person, and in terms of plant care, we need to wipe
the leaves every day in Delhi.

Mother-in-law’s Tongue is again a common plant. We call it a bedroom plant, because it

converts CO2 into oxygen at night. One requires about 6-8 such waist high plants per
person in the bedroom.

Money plant is a very common plant; preferably grows in hyrdoponics. It is excellent plant
for removing Formaldehyde and other VOC’s (volatile chemicals) in the air.
