English Ivy
English Ivy, which also goes by the name of Hedera helix, is a proper allergy fix, as it helps alleviate allergy symptoms by clearing the air of any irritants. It’s also known for reducing airborne mold spores, as a recent study has concluded.
This particular plant has done so many wonders for allergy sufferers, and to be completely honest, I have a couple of pots of English Ivy around the house!
Interestingly enough, even if it does so many wonders when it comes to allergies, the plant is nonetheless toxic to humans and animals. That’s why is mandatory to keep it out of the rich of children and pets.
The best way to do so is to place the plants on a higher shelf, and then let them trail down for a lovely display. However, remember to trim it back before it gets too long!

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.
