For AIRY – the plant-based bio air purification system – so-called air-purifying plants are particularly suitable, as they effectively convert pollutants into nutrients. Here is an overview of the best candidates:
Optimal for AIRY
1. Snake plant (Sansevieria trifasciata)
- Extremely low-maintenance and durable
- Filters formaldehyde, benzene, toluene, xylene, as well as ammonia
- Ideal for bedrooms or offices
2. Dragon Tree (Dracaena marginata/reflexa)
- Attractive and efficient pollutant filtering
- Removes formaldehyde, benzene, and trichloroethylene
- Especially suitable for living areas
3. Areca Palm (Dypsis lutescens)
- Elegant indoor palm, air-purifying and visually appealing
- Effective against solvents like xylene and formaldehyde
4. Monstera (Swiss Cheese Plant)
- Large decorative leaves, good air purification properties
- Effectively filters pollutants in kitchens and living rooms
5. Weeping Fig (Ficus benjamina)
- Evergreen plant with high filtering capacity
- Effective against formaldehyde and benzene
- Requires a semi-shaded to sunny location
6. Flamingo Flower (Anthurium)
- Blooming variety and air-purifying
- Effective against formaldehyde, ammonia, and odors
7. Spider Plant (Chlorophytum comosum)
- Very undemanding, ideal for beginners
- Filters formaldehyde and carbon monoxide
8. Orchids
- Aesthetics meets function
- Effectively removes volatile organic compounds
- Especially effective thanks to aerial roots in the AIRY system
Why these plants in particular?
- Filters common indoor pollutants (formaldehyde, benzene, solvents)
- Easy to care for, adaptable to AIRY system
- Robust against light and humidity fluctuations
Recommendations by room size
| Room size | Suitable plants |
|---|---|
| up to 10 m² | Snake plant, anthurium, areca palm (Small) |
| up to 20 m² | Snake plant, dragon tree, monstera, weeping fig, spider plant, orchid (Medium) |
| up to 30 m² | Snake plant, monstera, dragon tree, orchid, spider plant, anthurium (Large) |
The best plants for AIRY are those from the “air-purifying” portfolio – especially snake plant, dragon tree, areca palm, monstera, weeping fig, anthurium, spider plant and orchids. They harmonize perfectly with the AIRY system, are easy to care for, and noticeably improve indoor air quality.
Tip: Depending on the room size, place at least one, preferably two of these plants in the AIRY system – ideally combined for broader pollutant filtration.
