Which air purifying indoor plants are safe for pets?

Some air purifying plants are safe for furry friends and this includes delightful orchids. These fantastic, exotic flowering plants won’t give any side effects if nibbled and still help keep your air nice and clean. The kentia palm is another incredibly stylish houseplant that both cleans the air and is non toxic for dogs and cats. The arching stems and generous foliage provides a lovely softening effect in a corner.

Which are the fastest growing air cleaning houseplants?

For fast plant growth you can't go wrong with a trailing epipremnum aureum. The vigorous leafy growth has unique clinging aerial roots and is suited to training up a support or across a wall to make an eye-catching feature. The vines reach 1.5m long in the right conditions.

Best air purifying plants for your bedroom

Fill your bedroom with air purifying houseplants to process the air while you sleep. Avoid spiky plants in case you brush past them in the dark! Soft ferns and a large swiss cheese plant are ideal.

Include a perfumed flowering plant for the bedroom windowsill to keep the air smelling sweet. Choose a feature like an anthurium aqua in Sierglass, the exposed roots, stylish glass and pink blooms look fantastic on a chest of drawers. Remember you can cycle your indoor plants around the house, so don’t feel pressure to find the best plant and location straight away.

Best air cleaning plants for the bathroom

The bathroom offers a more humid environment which is ideal for moisture loving plants. The fern humata tyermannii, venus fly trap and the unusual actiniopteris australis thrive in the bathroom. This last houseplant has lush green foliage like miniature palm leaves that loves the humidity of a steamy bathroom.
