Sansevieria: This succulent, with large, pointed, and striped leaves, absorbs moisture well and doesn’t require direct sunlight. It's ideal for lower corners.
Orchids: As tropical plants, orchids love humidity and absorb as much as they can to nourish themselves and grow lushly. They just need good light, so be mindful of their placement.
Pothos: Often seen trailing from pots, pothos is a climbing plant that loves water and thrives in moist environments. It’s best grown in soil, not water, especially in mold-prone areas.
How to Use Plants Against Mold
Plants that trail downwards are best placed on high shelves or cabinets. Plants that grow upwards can be set on the floor or raised surfaces. It's often thought that combining different plant types in one area can solve mold issues. While these plants can reduce the likelihood of mold, they won't eliminate it entirely, even when grouped.
Arranging the Plants
When humidity exceeds 70%, the situation might be too severe for plants to help. In such cases, consult experts to resolve the issue definitively.
Even if it’s for aesthetic reasons or a small aid against mold, cultivating several plants in the same room can be beneficial.
