Plants that create a microclimate in the house
People aren’t usually aware of the incredible abilities of ordinary household plants to improve the microclimate in their homes. Along with their natural beauty and scent, the plants create a comfortable and cosy atmosphere, stabilise humidity and saturate the air with oxygen. Thus helping young children and people with allergies to breathe more peacefully.
Plants that moisturise the air
Kalanchoe
The Kalanchoe is native to Madagascar and feels extremely good in dry air areas. The moisture accumulates in its leaves and regulates the climate of the home. It should not be irrigated but make sure you keep it in a sunny place.
Ficus
The most popular indoor plant and it is technically a weeping fig. The ficus moisturises the air and saturates it with oxygen, neutralises toxins and bacteria and with its broad leaves retains dust.
Cypress (Chamaecyparis)
In Japan, the cypress tree is considered sacred: it is believed that the souls of the dead and gods inhabit it. The evergreen plant the refreshes the interior, moisturises the air, fights dust and relieves headaches and migraines.
Cissus (Grape Ivy)

Sansiviera
It is also know as “thin tongue” and it is popular by the name of Dracaena. This plant does great things with the air: it moisturises and generates a huge amount of oxygen.
Plants that absorb the air moisture
Myrtus (Myrtle)

Coffee tree
The plant ranks as one of the world’s most valuable and widely traded. The coffee tree loves good watering and partial shade. Has the ability to absorb excess moisture from the air.
Lemon tree (Citrus)
The leaves emit a huge number of phytochemicals sterilising the space around them. The tree loves sunbathing, regular watering and dry soil.
Peace Lily
