FAQ About Indoor Plant Indicator Species
How do indoor plants indicate air quality?
Certain indoor plants can absorb harmful pollutants and toxins from the air through their leaves and roots, thus improving air quality. For example, plants like the Peace Lily and Spider Plant are known to remove formaldehyde, ammonia, and other volatile organic compounds (VOCs) from the air. Their performance often affects their appearance, which can serve as an indicator of the presence of pollutants.
