A vital aspect to remember when it comes to Feng Shui House is the necessity for having indoor air that is clean. If you are going to find and maintain great Chi, you need to improve the air quality in your house. The reason you should do this is that the air you breathe inside your home is more harmful than air outside.

Pollution indoors can be a big issue when you are trying to employ good  Feng Shui in your living or work space. Getting consulting help, putting to use the Feng Shui compass and Feng Shui Ba Gua won’t help at all unless everything you can control in your home is at the best level for you,  which means having clean air indoors. Luckily for you that there is quite a list of inside plants that can help make your home’s air pure to achieve the best possible Chi.

Before you start trying to find a list of plants to help, you should understand why they are so necessary. There are actually many pollutants indoors that are harmful that are called volatile organic chemicals, or VOCs. If you have carpeting, plastic products, products made from synthetic materials and even some kinds of plywood in the home, they actually break down over time releasing the volatile organic chemicals. Certain air purifying plants work wonders in clearing the air.  Read here for Feng Shui Decorating.

Here is an abbreviated list of air purifying plants that will be beneficial to your Feng Shui House:

1. Boston Fern – This plant is is great for removing formaldehyde and various other pollutants from the air. They are very lovely; however, they are high maintenance and require daily attention in order to thrive.
2. Rubber Plant – This is another plant that is great for the indoors that will remove various types of pollutants, like formaldehyde. The rubber plant is very hardy and has a constitution that is tough and  can deal with cool temperatures and even low light.
3. Peace Lily – This plant is quite popular in the spring, so you should go ahead and buy a few of these lovely plants that remove toxins in your indoors.
4. English Ivy – English Ivy is great for removing formaldehyde from the air. This plant can be easily grown and will purify the air.

All of these plants do a good job at cleaning the air. However, it’s not a great idea for good Feng Shui to use them in the room you sleep in. These plants have a lot of energy, and you don’t want a lot of energy when trying to sleep. You can use them in other parts of your home for good Feng Shui and air that is clean, but keep them clear of the bedroom.
