If you suffer from allergies, you don’t have to give up your love for indoor plants. There are a number of houseplants that are hypoallergenic and can purify the air in your home, making them ideal for allergy sufferers. Let’s explore some of these options.
1. Areca Palm (Dypsis lutescens)
The Areca Palm is an excellent choice for allergy sufferers. It’s known for its air-purifying qualities, as it specifically filters out airborne toxins such as xylene, toluene, and formaldehyde. This plant is a tropical palm tree and requires indirect sunlight and high humidity. Keep the soil moist, but avoid overwatering as it can lead to root rot.
2. Spider Plant (Chlorophytum comosum)
The hardy Spider Plant makes for an excellent choice if you are new to keeping plants or have a habit of neglecting them. Spider Plants are non-toxic, making them safe for homes with pets. More importantly, they effectively remove pollutants such as formaldehyde and xylene from the air.
3. Snake Plant (Sansevieria trifasciata)
Mostly known as Mother-in-Law’s Tongue, the Snake Plant is renowned for its impressive oxygen-producing abilities and for filtering out toxins like benzene, formaldehyde, trichloroethylene, xylene, and toluene. The beauty of the Snake Plant is its resilience against neglect. It prefers dry air and soil, and can tolerate lower light levels.
4. Bamboo Palm (Chamaedorea seifrizii)
Not to be confused with the ‘lucky bamboo’, the Bamboo Palm is regarded as one of the best indoor plants for purifying air. This plant can reach up to 8 feet in height when cared for adequately and its lush, green leaves can act as a lively home decor piece. Bamboo Palm is known for eliminating benzene and trichloroethylene and turning them into fresh oxygen.
5. Dracaena (Dracaena marginata)
Available in more than 40 different kinds, Dracaena plants are very effective in removing airborne toxins, including xylene, trichloroethylene, and formaldehyde. They prefer indirect sunlight and damp soil, but take care not to overwater them. Dracaena plants are unfortunately toxic to dogs and cats, so they may not be the best choice if you have four-legged family members.
6. Peace Lily (Spathiphyllum wallisii)
Peace Lily is an attractive houseplant that typically blooms in the spring with the right care. It’s best known for removing mold spores from indoor air, which makes it ideal for those who are allergic to molds. Plus, it targets a series of airborne chemicals including formaldehyde, benzene, trichloroethylene, and carbon monoxide.
7. Lady Palm (Rhapis excelsa)
Requiring little maintenance and being quite resistant to insects, Lady Palm is an ideal choice for allergy sufferers who also have a brown thumb. This plant adapts well in cool and dry indoor environments, yet might reach impressive sizes. It’s well known for filtering out ammonia, formaldehyde, xylene, and toluene from the air.
8. Rubber Plant (Ficus elastica)
This type of Ficus is a brilliant choice if you’re living in a place with little sunlight. The Rubber Plant can get rid of pollutants like formaldehyde from your home. Keep the rubber plant in a mildly bright spot and let the soil dry out between watering schedules.
