1. Use Multiple Plants: For optimal air purification, use multiple plants in different rooms. NASA’s Clean Air Study suggests that having at least one plant per 100 square feet can significantly improve air quality.
2. Proper Placement: Place plants in areas where air circulation is good and where they can receive the appropriate amount of light. Avoid placing them in drafts or near heating and cooling vents.
3. Regular Maintenance: Keep your plants healthy by providing the right amount of water, light, and nutrients. Regularly dust the leaves to ensure they can efficiently absorb pollutants and perform photosynthesis.
4. Potting and Soil: Use well-draining soil and appropriate pot sizes to prevent root rot. Consider using pots with drainage holes and saucers to catch excess water.
