No matter what you’re allergic to, living with allergies sometimes feels like everything is out to get you. And if you’re allergic to pollen or dust, it’s tempting to avoid houseplants for fear that they can make matters worse.
But, along with other methods of reducing allergens in your home, such as a strict cleaning schedule, you might be surprised that certain houseplants can improve indoor air quality. And while they shouldn’t replace one of the best air purifiers, they’re a great addition to your home. Just be sure to wipe the leaves frequently to avoid a build up of dust.
