For a healthy environment, it’s important to avoid excessive humidity, which can lead to mold and other problems. To help lower humidity in your home, try these plants.

6. Tillandsia (Air Plants)

Tillandsias, commonly known as air plants, don’t require soil to survive. They absorb moisture directly from the air and can be displayed creatively—hung from supports or placed in decorative holders.

Growing Tips

• Keep the soil moist, especially in summer, to prevent leaves from wilting.

• Avoid overwatering, as excess water can lead to root rot.

• Hanging pots can help plants absorb more moisture from the air.

• Remember: all plants release some moisture through transpiration, but the plants listed above are particularly helpful in managing indoor humidity.
