How to reduce humidity in the house: 4 plants that will help to cope with it

Get rid of mold and mildew easily

This year, problems with heating are expected due to regular attacks by the Russian Federation on infrastructure facilities in Ukraine. Therefore, the batteries will not heat up strongly enough, which can lead to high humidity, and then mold and mildew. Many people try to cope with mold with the help of chemicals, but houseplants can also help fight high humidity.

Fighting moisture with plants is a natural, practical, and pretty way (because you decorate your home with plants that absorb moisture well through their leaves).

1. English ivy

This plant will help remove mold from damp areas, so you can put it in the bathroom. It is important that the ivy grows in bright, indirect light and that it be watered regularly. Keep the plant away from pets because its leaves are toxic to them.

2. Spathiphyllum

This plant also grows well in places with high humidity, so you can safely install it in a place where there is mold. Spathiphyllum does not need direct sunlight and is also toxic to pets.

3. Sansevieria (mother-in-law's tongue)

This plant is one of the best for absorbing condensation and moisture, as well as filtering household toxins, and grows well in direct sunlight. It needs to be watered once every one/two weeks, which is great as a first plant.

Areca palms, bamboo palms, dwarf date palms, and reed palms are considered the best for moisture control and mold protection.
