Air Cleaning House Plants

July 11, 2017

When my husband and I moved into our home a few months ago I had no idea what to do with the indoor balcony space that overlooks the living area. The space is kind of awkward in the way that it’s quite narrow and there isn’t much space to fit furniture in it. Initially I wanted to turn it into a meditative space with rugs and throw pillows but as the plants started to pile up because I’m plant obsessed I figure why not turn the space into a jungle.

While in the process of creating the indoor jungle balcony and researching tropical plants I found out that there are certain plants that are better at cleaning the air in your home. NASA did a Clean Air Study  back in 1989 and the results suggest that certain indoor plants provide a natural way of removing toxic agents from the air like formaldehyde, benzene and ammonia to just name a few. I’m sure that all plants have the natural ability to clean the air but these select few are just better at it.

If your home or office doesn’t have much air flow and the indoor environment is stagnant this can allow for pollutants to build up to levels that can be harmful to breath in all day. I live on a fairly busy street in LA so I wanted to make sure that a good portion of the plants in the jungle weren’t just pretty to look at but also useful. Here a a few on the NASA Air Cleaning List you can find the full list here.

    I am so beyond obsessed with your living space. The colors, the vibes and the aesthetic. You truly live a beautiful life Jules! I have been wanting to add plants to my space forever! Both my mother and grandmothers had green thumbs and I ache to have one too.

    Thank you for the information. I love the rubber and banana plants the most! Xx

Our favorite day of the year has come and gone. I Our favorite day of the year has come and gone. I miss it already. 

Soleil was so excited for Christmas. I wasn’t sure if she’d get it or be into it but she totally did. She’s been asking to wear her Christmas pjs all week long and has been saying Santa on repeat.

It was just pure magic enjoying the day with her and making “eat” as she calls it in her new kitchen from Santa.

Meeting Santa was quite different this year 6ft ap Meeting Santa was quite different this year 6ft apart. It was kinda funny how Soleil kept wanting to go to him. She wasn’t even scared of him at all and probably would’ve started playing with him. She even started to cry when we were leaving him lol.  #santaclausiscomingtotown 🎄✨❤️

Thanks to the lockdown I’ve eaten the best home cooked meals of my life these past months. I’ll take that win from this crazy year!

I love you baby and I’m so proud of how you’ve grown so much this year. You make me so proud, and make my tastebuds scream for joy!❤️ @ryanturley #ryanandjuliet #iloveyoubaby #marriedlifeisthebestlife
