Scindapsus Aureum
strong air-filtering and charming
The Scindapsus Aureum is a beautiful green and yellow houseplant, with heart-shaped and satin-like leaves. The plant has air-filtering qualities as it is able to reduce the formaldehyde levels in the air in its surroundings. Formaldehyde is a natural gas that is present in greens, fruit and plants. The plant is easy to keep, just as long as you place it in a light spot in the room (but not in direct sunlight). Give it water when you notice the soil becoming dry. Are the leaves too brown or too large for your taste? Feel free to cut them, they will be replaced by new leaves.
