While summer is the time when we spend most of our time outdoors, we stay inside our house to keep away from the smoldering sun. While we usually turn to our fans and air conditioning units, electric bills eventually increase, making them an unwise option for those on a budget. Thankfully there are monkey-saving alternatives that can help keep your home cool (plants).

Areca Palm Tree:

This plant can help remove toxins and carbon dioxide in the air. It is even qualified as a humidifier according to experts. When choosing this tree, go for one that has a thicker trunk at its foundation, so that it will not be difficult for you to maintain this plant.

 

 

 

 

 

Aloe Vera:

This plant is known for its medicinal benefits, but this can also help keep cool temperatures, so you stay comfortable even during the hot days and nights.

Aside from hit protection, this plant can also remove formaldehyde in the air.
