Introduction
Air pollution is a growing concern in Indian cities like Delhi, Mumbai and Bangalore. But did you know you can improve the air quality inside your home naturally — just by keeping the right plants?
Air purifying plants in India are becoming increasingly popular as more people discover their incredible ability to remove harmful toxins from indoor air. In this guide we share the 5 best air purifying plants for Indian homes — all available at eBageecha!
Why Air Purifying Plants are Important in India
Indoor air can be 2-5 times more polluted than outdoor air according to the EPA. In Indian homes common indoor pollutants include:
- Formaldehyde — from furniture, carpets and paints
- Benzene — from cleaning products and plastics
- Carbon monoxide — from cooking and appliances
- Dust and allergens — especially during summer and monsoon
Air purifying plants absorb these toxins through their leaves and roots — naturally cleaning the air you breathe every day.
