SANSEVIERIA TRIFASCIATA
- Also known as snake plant.
- Experts working for NASA discovered that it is the best potted oxygen producer.
- It reduces the amount of allergens in the air.
- It purifies the air from toxins, absorbing: formaldehyde, xylene, toluene, benzene, nitrogen oxides released from paints, varnishes, plywood, synthetic fabrics, printers, and exhaust fumes.
- It also produces oxygen at night.
