One of the most common and widespread indoor plants is undoubtedly the Spider Plant, scientifically known as Chlorophytum comosum, also recognized as the Spider Plant or Airplane Plant.
The Spider Plant is not only aesthetically pleasing but also one of the hardiest and easiest-to-care-for indoor plants. Beyond its visual appeal, it stands out as one of the most effective plants in purifying the air within your home.
In the 1980s, NASA conducted a study to demonstrate the ability of plants to purify the air under extreme conditions. The Spider Plant emerged as one of the top 10 plants suited for this purpose.
This resilient plant excels at removing harmful substances from the air, such as xylene found in wooden furniture and carbon monoxide emitted by boilers, certain types of stoves, and radiators.
The Spider Plant requires indirect light and should be watered once a week during winter and two to three times a week in the summer. Its low maintenance, coupled with air-purifying qualities, makes it an ideal choice for indoor greenery, contributing to both the aesthetics and air quality of your living space.
