Indoor Plants That Reduce Dust

Rubber Plant

• The rubber plant is considered one of the most effective indoor air cleaning plants. While collecting granules of dust, the rubber plant also helps to eliminate pollution indoors by absorbing carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide and other pollutants. This plant is very easy to care for -- but don't over water.

Ivy

• All forms of ivy are excellent at reducing dust. English ivy, for example, is very easy to manage and grows well indoors. In addition to removing indoor dust, ivy is also effective at removing formaldehyde and benzene.

Dripping Guanyin

• Dripping guanyin, also known as dripping lotus, is a type of bonsai plant that works to reduce dust indoors. This plant thrives in a moist environment, so it is helpful to mist the leaves with water. The sap and water droplets that come from the plant can be toxic if consumed, so place this plant out of the reach of animals and children.

Date Palm Tree

• The date palm tree is a stylish plant that is also highly effective in removing dust from the air. It is low maintenance and requires only weekly watering. The date palm tree also works even better at absorbing particles in combination with other purifying plants.
