Rubber Tree

Another great houseplant for beginners that is known to improve the indoor air and alleviate allergies is the Rubber Tree, which also goes by the name of Ficus elastica. 

The Rubber Tree is great to have in your home, especially if you’re suffering from nasty allergies, as they remove the chemical toxins in the air.

The NASA studies actually recommend two rubber trees in 8-to 10-inch pots for every 100 square feet of space you have in your home. The Rubber tree is especially good when it comes to removing formaldehyde, a substance that irritates the eyes, nose, and throat.

    Thank you for information on plants I might be able to try and grow in my house. It’s always a challange to find plants because my house faces North and South so most all of my windows also face that way and we don’t get a lot of direct sunlight. Plus I have trees al around my house , which is beneficial in some ways but not so much in others.
