Chlorine-Tolerant Plants for Indoor Pool Environments

Hannah (floristry student) needs plants for indoor pool/gym container display with airborne chlorine. Project due Feb 28.

Chlorine-Tolerant Species (from David Hamilton's "Commercial Indoor Plants")

Never water with pool water. Use tap water only. Chlorine in air is tolerated; chlorine in root zone is not.

These plants withstand the toxic microclimate. Design container with varied heights/textures for visual interest.
