How does a Spathiphyllum purify the air?
A – Plants breathe just like people and animals. They breathe through minuscule holes in their leaves. The Spathiphyllum filters harmful substances out of the air, storing them in their stalks and roots where they are then broken down. This alone makes the air cleaner, but the Spathiphyllum does even more: it releases oxygen (O2) and improves the humidity of the air.
