The Air Purifying Qualities Of Plants

The Luminous, Air Purifying Qualities Of Indoor Topiary And Plants

With “modern-life” being determined more and more about how much time you spend inside (rather than outside) encapsulated in our homes, department stores/mall, and office buildings; Indoor Plants have become a necessity!


The horrific Hurricane Katrina and the notorious F.E.M.A. Trailers/Mobile Homes loudly demonstrate the need of purer air and the toll that Sick Building Syndrome has on the Human/Animal body.

Indoor Plants:

• Cooling Effect, of temperature
• Diminish Stress
• Increase Humidity
• Offer Filtration of dust/dirt from the environment
• Oxygenate Internal/Room Air
• Reduce Microbes in the setting/area
• Remove (harmful) Positive + Ions
• Secrete Beneficial Negative Ions

Yes, unlike it's friendly sounding name, it is the Positive Ions that we must drastically avoid, replacing our environments with Negatively Charged Ions, for both mental and physical health.

With indoor plants, be certain to cover topsoil with a porous material such as gravel, so that no soil is exposed. The purpose of this soil covering is to reduce the possibility of mold/spore production.

More information on Ions, the Healing Qualities and Types of Indoor Plants, and “Green Spaces” to follow in later articles.
