Pollution free house with Natural Plants

There are some natural plants which can fight pollution inside the house, which many people are not aware about. Instead they unnecessarily try to clean their houses using vacuum cleaners and cleaning solutions which are harmful and costly.
In spite of using these modern equipments we find we are not free from diseases, dirt and dust which contaminate the air around us.
When compared to the vacuum cleaners, plants do not make noise like them. Maintenance of a plant is very cheap but at the same time we will have to shed many dollars to maintain a vacuum cleaner.
The best way to control pollution at home is through these ten plants which can be bought.
1) Feston Rose Plant :
A lovely and low maintenance indoor plant which can be considered is the Lantana camara or the Feston rose plant. The uniqueness of this plant is that it produces numerous flowers which have a variety of colors.
This plant has a tendency to endure blazing heat or heavy winds. It can survive even with less water and in salty conditions. The leaves of these plants give out a very pleasing and strong fragrance, which leaves the house smelling fresh and also removes impurities from the air.

You need to change the information you have on Devils Ivy. It is very dangerous for pets and you have written the wrong information. I am sure it is a type error but please fix it just incase someone feeds it to their pet. Thanks Trisha
