UK Advice Highlights Three Houseplants to Help Reduce Mould Risk Indoors

Experts promote a plant-based humidity fix as a low-cost supplement to ventilation.

Overview

  • Gardening Express recommends English ivy, peace lily and snake plant for moisture‑prone areas such as bathrooms.
  • Specialists say effectiveness depends on each plant’s ability to absorb dew, fog and other moisture through its leaves.
  • Sliding Door Wardrobe Company guidance expands the list to include aloe vera, orchid and spider plant.
  • Coverage explains that condensation from cooking, showering and drying laundry is driving mould problems as homes get colder.
  • Pet‑safety warnings note that English ivy and peace lily are toxic if ingested, so placement out of reach is advised.
