Houseplants that fight moisture: Peace lily and snake plant heroes
Getting rid of excessive moisture in the apartment can be challenging, especially during the fall and winter months. Fortunately, houseplants can be a great help. You just need to know which ones to choose.
There are many ways to remove moisture from the apartment. Before spending money on specialized products or professionals, it's worth trying much cheaper methods. All we need are plants that will also beautifully decorate the interior.
Peace lily - a natural moisture absorber
The peace lily is an ideal choice for people struggling with excessive humidity in the home. This plant, with its lush leaves, draws excess water from the air and additionally helps purify it of toxins such as formaldehyde or benzene.
Although the peace lily is easy to grow, you should avoid contact with children and animals, as its leaves can be toxic to them. That's why it's recommended to place it in hard-to-reach places, such as high shelves or windowsills, out of the reach of small hands and paws. By taking these precautions, you can improve the air quality in your home at a low cost.
Sansevieria and its unusual properties
A plant that will effectively deal with the problem of moisture is the snake plant, known as sansevieria or "mother-in-law's tongue." It uses stomata for the transpiration process, where it absorbs excess moisture from the air.
Not everyone knows that at night it converts carbon dioxide into oxygen. For this reason, it is often placed in bedrooms. In this case, remember to regularly ventilate the rooms. Just a few minutes a day are enough to not only get rid of accumulated viruses and bacteria but also moisture.
