What air-cleaning plants are good for inside a windowless office?
Question:I work in an office with no windows but natural lightbulbs. The air is somewhat polluted--we have to use an air filter but I still sneeze a lot. I'm thinking that plants could help clean up the air, but I don't know much about indoor plants. I tried one once but it didn't do so well. Any recommendations?
Answers:
try any plant that can grow on water like dracaena,fortune plant. Plants need sunlight and as a replacement, place them just below the light bulbs.
The more leaf surface the better. I use pothos, nephtitis and airplane or spider plants. Your experience was probably because of incandescent light bulbs. They make special "grow" lights, but all plants really seem to love fluorescent bulbs.
Plant don't clean the air.
Philadendrons (spelling??) need hardly any water or light. They can actually grow in a glass of water. They are pretty hard to kill and grow very full if watered.
