Air quality in Delhi has become a serious concern, especially during winter months when smog blankets the city. But you don’t always need expensive gadgets to improve your indoor air - you can harness nature itself. By using indoor planters strategically, Phooldaan offers a simple, elegant solution to reduce pollutants and elevate your space.
At Phooldaan, we understand that every home can be a sanctuary, even in a city facing poor air quality. Our curated range of planters blends design and function, making it easy for you to set up a natural air filter at home - without compromising on style or space.
How Indoor Planters Can Help Combat Delhi Air Pollution
Indoor plants are more than decorative - they function as living air purifiers. In Delhi, where fine particulate matter (PM2.5) and volatile organic compounds (VOCs) can seep into homes, certain houseplants act as natural filters. They absorb toxins, produce oxygen, and retain harmful particles on their leaves.
At Phooldaan, our indoor planters are designed not just to hold plants, but to support health-enhancing greenery. With thoughtfully crafted pots and stands, you can place these plants in spots where they’re most effective - by windows, corners, or next to furniture -creating a living barrier that helps improve indoor air quality in Delhi.
Choosing the Best Air-Purifying Plants for Your Delhi Home
Not all plants are equally powerful when it comes to cleaning indoor air. Here are some of the most effective, and how they pair beautifully with Phooldaan planters:
Snake Plant (Sansevieria): A champion of low-maintenance air purification. Even in low light, snake plants filter out formaldehyde and benzene.
Peace Lily: Excellent at removing common indoor toxins like ammonia and volatile organic compounds.
Areca Palm or Sanseviera Hahnii: Known to humidify the air and absorb xylene and toluene.
Pair these with our elegant Phooldaan planters - such as resin head pots, tall metal stands, or compact ceramic planters - to create a DIY air purifier using plants that also enhances your décor.
Setting Up Your Natural Air Filter at Home in Delhi
To make the most of low cost air purification in India using plants, here’s a simple, design-forward strategy:
Identify hotspots: areas like near the balcony, windows, or the entrance where outdoor air seeps in.
Group air-purifying plants in visually cohesive planters: e.g., a tall metal 3-tier corner planter from Phooldaan to house snake plants, or a series of ceramic pots for peace lilies.
Use vertical space: For smaller Delhi flats, vertical aeroponic towers like our Nova 40 are a smart solution. They take up minimal floor space but allow you to grow up to 40 plants.
Maintain health: Ensure proper watering and occasional dusting of leaves so they can effectively absorb pollutants.
By doing this, you’re not just decorating - you’re installing a natural air filter at home, engineered by nature and designed by Phooldaan.

Real-Life Impact: How Phooldaan Customers in Delhi Benefit
Our customers in Delhi often tell us how adding plants has noticeably changed their spaces - less dust, visibly greener corners, and even a sense of calm amid seasonal smog. One customer paired peace lilies in Phooldaan’s ceramic planters on her balcony and bedroom window, turning them into natural air filters that made her home feel fresher, especially during high-AQI days.
Another urban gardener used the Nova 40 vertical tower on a small terrace to grow herbs and greens - not just improving aesthetics but also building a living green wall that acts as a barrier against polluted air.
These stories show that using indoor plants to fight pollution isn’t just a concept - it’s a practical, stylish, and accessible solution.
Low-Cost, Low-Maintenance: A Smart Home Remedy
Unlike expensive air purifiers or filters that consume power or require frequent replacement filters, Phooldaan’s plant-based air purification solution is:
Low cost over time: After the initial investment in pots and plants, maintenance involves only watering and occasional nutrients.
Sustainable: Plants produce oxygen, don’t need power, and contribute positively to your living space.
Scalable: Start small (a few planters) and expand with aeroponic towers or more pots as needed.
Aesthetic and calming: It’s not just functional - your home looks more vibrant, calm, and alive.
This makes Phooldaan not just a home remedy for air pollution, but an elegant lifestyle upgrade.
