There is also some science behind this connection between plants and air quality. In 1989, NASA explored and tested a selection of houseplants and measured how they purify the air. As humans, we have evolved together with nature and plants. It’s only very recently in our history that we have moved to spending the majority of our time indoors without connection to fresh air and nature. Luckily, houseplants can help! They help to bring nature qi (life force energy) into our homes. Here’s a round-up of our favorite house plants that cleanse the air and bring in good feng shui.
