Peace lilies: The natural remedy for winter’s indoor humidity
Excessive humidity in the home encourages the growth of mould and fungi, which is even more noticeable in the winter. Fortunately, there is a potted plant that effectively absorbs moisture. Discover which plant we can use!
It's well known that excessive humidity in rooms is not beneficial to health and well-being. Long-term exposure to such an environment can lead to allergic reactions and asthma. It may also cause headaches, muscle and joint pain, irritability, and insomnia, as these conditions are ideal for developing fungi and mould.
Humidity in the apartment - How to combat it?
To prevent the growth of fungi and mould in the home, we should regularly ventilate the rooms, improving air circulation and positively affecting our mental health. Ensure the temperature in the house is maintained correctly and that the windows are sealed - when necessary, use blankets or old towels to seal them.
Certain plants help reduce humidity. Among them are: English ivy, snake plant, and peace lily. The peace lily, in particular, effectively absorbs moisture from the air in the home. However, it's important to remember that this plant should not be easily accessible to small children and pets, as it can be dangerous for them. Ideal places for peace lilies include window sills or high shelves in bathrooms where children and pets cannot reach them.
The peace lily is an exceptional plant that grows easily. As a tropical plant, it thrives in humid conditions. Moreover, it effectively absorbs moisture from fogged windows, acting like a vacuum cleaner. The peace lily also purifies the air by removing toxic compounds such as formaldehyde, benzene, ammonia, and carbon monoxide. It also absorbs mould spores while reducing harmful radiation from electronic devices.
