As temperatures drop, many people will find that their windows begin to fog up on cold mornings.

Houseplants are a good way to help solve this problem naturally and reduce the humidity levels in your home.

Chris Bonnett from GardeningExpress said: “Condensation is a common problem during the winter months, but too much can become a real problem and lead to form height.

“To prevent condensation, you need to reduce the humidity levels in your home, and indoor plants are a great natural solution for balancing humidity.

“Some houseplants, such as peace lilies, absorb moisture through their leaves, which then travels to their roots.

“Not only will this help you balance the humidity levels in your home, but it will also allow you to enjoy some truly beautiful indoor plants.”

1. English ivy

According to a gardening expert, English ivy also removes mold and other airborne pollutants.

It grows best in bright, indirect light, but needs regular watering. But be sure to keep it away from pets, as its leaves are toxic to them.

2. Spathiphyllum

Chris said: 'Spathiphyllum loves shade and thrives in high humidity, making it an ideal choice for mildew-prone areas.'

This houseplant absorbs moisture through its leaves, but does not require direct sunlight to grow.

The expert added: 'This plant has beautiful white flowers but can be toxic to pets so keep it away from them.'

3. Palm trees

Palm trees are also an excellent choice for humidity control and mold prevention, as they absorb moisture through their leaves.

Recommended varieties to look for include areca palms, bamboo palms, lady palms, dwarf date palms, and reed palms.

4. Boston Fern

Chris continued: “The Boston fern thrives in humid climates, naturally absorbing moisture from the air and regulating the humidity levels in your home.

“All it needs is to survive in indirect sunlight and be watered regularly.” They also look great in any room of the house.

5. Snake plant

Also known as mother-in-law's tongue, this hardy houseplant is another mildew-loving variety that grows best in bright light.

However, it will also grow well in low light conditions, such as dark bathrooms or windowless areas of the house.

6. Orchids

Orchids not only look beautiful, but they also reduce humidity in the home. They can last for several years and receive nutrients and moisture from the air around them.
