It would be difficult to find a person who hasn’t yet encountered this plant. The spider plant is known in every household, apartment or office.
Besides its low-maintenance care and decorative appearance, it also has other interesting properties.
Many houseplants, for example Aloe vera, Kalanchoe or geranium, have healing properties. Despite strong competition, the spider plant remains in first place.
The secret of this plant lies in its tremendous air-cleansing power. Like a vacuum cleaner, it purifies the air of pathogenic bacteria, harmful substances and various impurities, which significantly increases the oxygen content we breathe.
It is known that this “air purifier” absorbs carbon monoxide, acetone, ammonia, benzene, formaldehyde and nitrogen. In addition, it can destroy up to 80% of pathogenic microbes.
Because of these properties, even experts at NASA proposed a plan for how air could be cleaned on an orbital station using this plant.
The spider plant is indispensable in children’s rooms and in the bedrooms of people with allergies or lung disease.
For the plant to grow and reach its potential, it needs enough light, water and regular soil replacement.
