Does ivy purify the air?
Confirmed!
With its permanent foliage, ivy is reputed to eliminate formaldehyde and benzene, as well as trichloroethylene and carbon monoxide, all chemicals that can be found in our homes or offices, some of which are carcinogenic.
Choose broad-leaved varieties to maximise its effect and let it grow in cascades or by climbing on a suitable support.
So not only will you be decorating your home, you'll also be keeping it healthy all year round.
Ivy in literature
“The ivy on the walls seemed to vibrate to the rhythm of the wind, a living breath.”
Jack London, The Sea Wolf«
