Your Green Shield: How to Create a Healthy Indoor Environment
Do you often feel tired or unfocused in your own home, even when you've had enough sleep? One of the invisible culprits could be electrosmog, caused by all the tech devices that surround us daily. But there's a simple and natural solution that not only improves air quality but also boosts your well-being: the right houseplants. In this article, we'll show you which green roommates act as effective shields against electrosmog and how to make the most of them.
Why Are Houseplants Such Effective Natural Shields?
Certain plants are true multi-talents: they not only filter pollutants from the air but can also absorb a portion of the electromagnetic radiation in their environment. This is how you can create a healthier home naturally and without much effort. Here is our selection of the four most effective green helpers:
1. Snake Plant (Sansevieria) – The Robust One

- Benefits: Filters pollutants like formaldehyde and absorbs electromagnetic radiation. Ideal for bedrooms and offices.
- Downsides: Cannot tolerate overwatering at all.
- Pets: Toxic to cats and dogs.
2. Weeping Fig (Ficus Benjamina) – The Air Purifier
- Properties: Prefers a bright spot with indirect light and moderate watering.
- Benefits: A master at removing household toxins and improving the overall indoor climate.
- Downsides: Prone to leaf drop if exposed to drafts or sudden changes in location.

3. English Ivy (Hedera helix) – The Versatile One
- Properties: Very adaptable and also grows in shadier corners.
- Benefits: Excellent filtering effect on pollutants and a proven reduction in radiation.

How to Get the Most Out of Your Green Helpers
To ensure your plants can achieve their full potential, follow these simple care tips:
- Placement: Position the plants near electronic devices such as Wi-Fi routers, TVs, or computers.
- Care: Find the right balance of light and water – overwatering is the most common care mistake!
- Cleaning: Regularly wipe the dust off the leaves. This helps them "breathe" better and perform their filtering function optimally.
