Because of this, indoor plants are really able to protect
от инфекций the flu. All plants, except succulents and cacti,
increase humidity through a process called
�”Transpiration”.
What is transpiration?

leaves, and water evaporates from them into the air. Plant in its
turn, pulling water out of the ground to compensate for the liquid,
lost during evaporation.
The larger the plant, the more transpiration occurs and the
more water enters the air. Humidity increases with
increasing the intensity of sunlight. If put in
the premise more large plants, the humidity will increase even
stronger.

Clinical efficacy of individual plants
tested in research. Most large plants reduce
30% risk of developing predominantly viral infections. For
bacteria, this figure is 15-20%, which is clinically
insignificantly.
