Instead of turning on your ACs, you can switch to a more environmentally-friendly alternative which is plants! With this, you can help the environment and reduce your energy consumption at the same time. Fortunately, Unbeleafable PH has all the plants on the list below. With us, you can get a pot of cooling plant for as low as P199!

Snake Plant

The Snake Plant, also known as the Mother-in-Law’s Tongue, is one of the most low-maintenance plants you can have in your home. It requires minimal watering, and can thrive from low to bright indirect sunlight. This indoor plant in Manila helps cool its surrounding areas through its water storage. The bigger the plant’s water storage, the more excess water it will release unto the air which then helps in the cooling process. It also gives off oxygen during the night, and removes toxins from the air as well. 

Aloe Vera

Aloe Vera is a popular plant for its many health benefits. This plant promotes healthy skin, and hair, and even aiding digestion and weight loss. But you should know that this plant is also beneficial to air quality as it can remove formaldehyde from the air. Just like the Snake Plant, this Aloe Vera for sale in Manila helps cool surrounding areas around it as it has high water content as well.

Asparagus Fern

Ferns are natural air purifiers and humidifiers. Asparagus Fern specifically has feather-like leaves and is usually placed in a hanging pot. They remove harmful toxins in the air like formaldehyde as well. This indoor plant likes to be placed in bright areas for optimum growth, and their soil to be dried out in between waterings. 

Golden Pothos

This indoor plant for sale in Manila is known to be beginner-friendly! The Golden Pothos is known to remove a handful of harmful pollutants in the air such as formaldehyde, benzene, xylene, and carbon monoxide. Not to mention this one’s a fast grower too so this indoor plant is one of the best choices if you want to improve your air quality at home! This low-maintenance table-top plant can thrive in low to bright indirect sunlight with once a week watering only.

Palm Tree

Palm Trees are known to be natural air purifiers. Their leaves take in Carbon Dioxide and release Oxygen as well. Considering that Palm Trees have long leaves, they’re capable of producing more Oxygen. This indoor plant in Manila gives your house a tropical vibe without being high maintenance. It thrives best in bright indirect sunlight with once to twice a week watering!

Aglaonemas

Aglaonemas are low-maintenance indoor plants in Manila. We have multiple varieties available such as Aglaonema Romeo, Red Siam, Silver King, and Dona Carmen. Since these indoor plants tend to be lush as they mature, their transpiration rate also increases. Transpiration is the process by how plants “sweat”. Thus, the lusher the plant, the higher the transpiration rate as well. This indoor plant in Manila can tolerate low light conditions to bright indirect sunlight with once a week watering. 

Peace Lily

Peace Lily is an indoor plant that grows a single white flower in the middle and droops when they’re thirsty. Just like Aglaonemas, this plant tends to get lush as well. They’re also active when it comes to transpiration which in effect, they release high amounts of oxygen and moisture into the air. Placing them in direct sunlight may burn its leaves. This indoor plant in Manila does well in bright indirect sunlight with once to twice a week watering. 

Rubber Tree

The Ficus Elastica or also known as Rubber Tree has big elegant leaves, making them an effective cooling plant. Plus they also remove formaldehyde in the air, making this indoor plant a game-changer when it comes to improving air quality. The Rubber Tree likes bright spaces, with once a week watering.
