FAQ About Indoor Plant Phytoremediation Techniques

Yes, some plants are more efficient at removing specific pollutants than others. Research has shown that plants such as the the purple waffle plant (Hemigraphis alternata), Boston fern (Nephrolepis exaltata), and English ivy (Hedera helix) can remove substantial amounts of toxins and thus are considered more effective for certain contaminants.
