These days, air pollution has reached dangerous levels in Delhi-NCR. In such a situation, people think of installing air purifiers to keep the indoor air clean, but not everyone’s budget allows it.

NASA also counts the snake plant (Sansevieria) as one of the most effective air-cleaning plants. It absorbs formaldehyde, benzene and other toxic elements. Its specialty is that it releases oxygen even at night. Grows easily even in low light and less water. Hence perfect fit for bedrooms and small rooms.
Areca palm maintains moisture in the air of the house. It helps in removing harmful elements like toluene and xylene. It is better to keep it in big rooms, drawing rooms or places where there is a lot of light. Its large, dense leaves give a natural and fresh look to the house.
