Despite the fact that special devices called air purifiers have long been invented to clean the air, indoor plants can cope with this task no worse.

An expert of the online publication BelNovosti, agronomist, landscape designer Anastasia Kovrizhnykh told how exactly this process occurs.

It turns out that plants act like filters, absorbing toxins through their leaves.

If you are seriously considering using indoor flowers for this purpose, you should know a few rules.

If the apartment is one-room, 4-6 pots with suitable seedlings will be enough for you. Hence the rule - the more space, the more plants you need.

To ensure maximum effectiveness, arrange flower arrangements in groups rather than individually.

Please note that many flowers may be poisonous. Make sure they are kept in a safe place where pets and small children cannot reach them.

Here is a short list of plants that are suitable for the role of "green filters". These are chlorophytum, pelargonium, lemon, sansevieria, cactus, spathiphyllum, dracaena and others.
