Continue reading to discover what characteristics allergy-friendly plants have, along with the best indoor plant allergy-free plants for gifting.
Characteristics of Allergy-Friendly Plants
Plants have several benefits like purifying and fragrance the air. Plus, they relieve tension and improve the mood of people, even allergen people. However, not all plants, especially flowering plants, are allergy-friendly.
Certain plants emit pollen, a common allergy when they bloom. Many plants have low-pollen or no-pollen, so allergy sufferers may safely keep and enjoy them. Some plants are allergy-friendly (non-allergenic) due to several characteristics:
- Less Pollen Production: Certain plants produce less pollen, only a small amount or no dust at all that may trigger an allergic reaction.
- Small, Simple Flowers: If flowering occurs (i.e., the plant is not a male), blooms are typically small and plain with little pollen production.
- Smooth, Waxy Leaves: One of the features that many hypoallergenic plants share is their smooth waxy leaves that don't attract and trap allergens like dust or pet dander.

Some Advice For Allergy Sufferers
- Dust Regularly: Dust on the leaves of your plants causes allergy. Occasionally, you can dust off the leaves with a paper towel by lightly wiping them down.
- Select Bigger Plants: Small plants get knocked over and throw pollen into the air. Any plant that is larger, stronger, and stays solid.
- Avoid Highly Scented Plants: As much as many plants smell good, some can be aromatic and could trigger allergic reactions in some people. Opt for unscented or lightly scented types.
- Beware of Mold Growth: waterlogging can also induce the growth of molds in soil that is an allergen! Make sure there is adequate drainage and do not continue watering when damp!
