Flowers that dry or humidify the air

Many of us choose indoor flowers as pets. Plants in the interior look beautiful, create a feeling of an oasis, decorate the room. But few people know that there are types of indoor flowers that can humidify the air in the room or, on the contrary, dry it. There are also those that fully purify the atmosphere from salts of heavy metals, radionuclides, formaldehydes, carbon monoxide and other toxic compounds.

Flowers for hydration

1. Areca catechu. A species of palm that, according to NASA studies, is one of the most powerful natural moisturizers. During the day, a two-meter mature tree is able to release almost 1 liter of moisture. But subject to regular watering of the plant.
2. Boston fern. This plant is considered one of the unpretentious and feels great in an apartment. With regular watering and full spraying of the leaves with clean water, it perfectly moisturizes the overdried air in the room.
3. Spathiphyllum. The perfect natural humidifier and filter for your air. At night, a flower called "Women's Happiness" actively cleanses the air of toxins and saturates it with oxygen. But you need to keep the plant away from babies and pets, since spathiphyllum leaves are toxic.
4. Dracaena marginata. Indoor flower, which, in parallel with humidification, removes particles of benzene and formaldehyde from the air.
