In the UK, heatwaves are rare but have become more frequent, leading to challenges in homes ill-equipped for high temperatures. Houseplant expert Craig Morely explains that certain houseplants can effectively cool indoor spaces through transpiration, where water evaporates from leaves, resembling a form of free air conditioning. He lists seven plants including snake plant and peace lily that are particularly effective at this process, emphasizing that their leaf structures and sizes play a crucial role in releasing water vapor, thus lowering the temperature indoors.
Houseplants can provide eco-friendly cooling for UK homes during heatwaves through the natural process of transpiration, significantly reducing indoor temperatures.
