Intoxicating indoor plants

Air quality matters

The jury is still out on domestic free standing air purifiers...Mostly they are just overpriced machines that hiss and hum without really improving air quality. There is, however, one solution that’s affordable, eco friendly and actually endorsed by NASA (Yep, the guys who put a man on the moon)

According to a study they did, there are various house plants that not only drastically improve the air quality in your home by removing various toxic chemicals from the air, buy these plants will also combat a whole array of unpleasant odours. These plants purify air, and by doing so, reduce the effects of certain unpleasant smells.

We have done our homework:

Most run of the mill indoor plants, like snake plants, peace lilies, ferns, bamboo and parlour palms all play an important role in purifying air, but if you’re looking for scent inspirations, its best to go for the blooms.

Secondly, we move into the bougie realm

While most store-bought orchids are pretty to look at, but disappoint in the smelly-verse, there are a few exceptional orchids that delicately fill your house with an intoxicating scent for as long as they are blooming. Cymbidiums have a wonderful lemony scent to go with their bright yellow flowers. The second orchid that really packs a fragrance punch is the Brassavola Nodosa, a tough little orchid from central and northern South America.
