Chris Bonnett from GardeningExpress.co.uk said: “Condensation is a common problem throughout the winter months but too much can be a real issue and lead to mould growth.
“To prevent condensation you need to bring down the moisture levels in your home and houseplants are a great natural solution to balance the humidity.
“Some houseplants like the peace lily will absorb moisture through its leaves which will then travel through to their roots.
“Not only will this help you balance the moisture levels in your home, but it will also leave you with some really beautiful houseplants to enjoy too.”
1. English ivy
According to the expert, English ivy removes “airborne mould” as well as other toxins found within the home.
It’ll thrive best in bright, indirect light and needs regular watering throughout the year.
It is also important to keep this away from pets as its leaves are toxic to them if ingested.
2. Peace lily
The expert explained: “The peace lily loves the shade and thrives in high humidity so the perfect choice for areas prone to mould.
“It absorbs moisture through the air through its leaves and doesn’t need direct sunlight to thrive.
“This plant has beautiful white flowers but can be toxic to pets so keep it out of their way.”
3. Snake plant
The snake plant houseplant, also known as the mother-in-law’s tongue, is another “mould-loving” indoor plant.
Not only do they absorb moisture through their thick leaves, but they also help to purify the air by absorbing toxins and producing oxygen.
They need watering very infrequently, making them a great option for beginners or people who are away a lot.
4. Spider plant
Chris continued: “This is a popular indoor plant which is great at removing harmful pollutants in the home.
“It’s easy to look after too and will need watering around once or twice a week.”
5. Boston fern
The Boston fern thrives in moist climates, making them ideal for the bathroom or kitchen to get the most out of them.
They will naturally absorb the air moisture and balance out humidity levels in the home too, according to the gardening expert.
All they need to survive is indirect sunlight and regular watering, making sure to never water too much.
