House Plants filter indoor air?
Living in Chicago, we spent a lot of time indoors during the winter months. This morning I picked up an old copy of Garden Design magazine (April 2009 – www.gardendesign.com), and read the article on Sansevierias. The Sansevieria was named one of the best plants for cleaning indoor air toxins by NASA and it’s low maintenance! Mid-February indoor air – could it use a boost? I thought I’d give it a try.
So I went shopping this afternoon to my local nursery and they had quite a variety of Sansevieria’s including those with gold edging or speckled foliage. I settled for the trifasciata which is the most common but I liked the height and price! They are also incredibly easy to grow – indirect light and little water (good drainage is critical) will keep them happy for a long time.
