Ficus | Improve Your Air Quality
Learn how these plants can make your home greener—and cleaner
by: Andrew Hanelly


Household name: Ficus

Scientific name: Ficus benjamina

Size: Ranges from 2 to 6 feet.

How it makes your home better: Also effectively removes formaldehyde from your indoor air supply. This tough plant can survive in a cool environment with little light and requires little upkeep—you’ll only need to water it about once a month.

Watch out for: Wilting. While the ficus plant adjusts to your home, many of its leaves will turn yellow and be shed. This is only temporary and after pruning the dead portions, your ficus plant will grow to be robust.
