What are some plants that sucks humidity our? I would love to have house plants but it’s already so humid in my house that it effects my health

Oh dear, sorry to hear you’re having problems with the humidity in your home! I’d think that any epiphyte/air plant would help remove unwanted humidity. Large air plants include Spanish moss and Tillandsia xerographica. Other cool epiphytes are staghorn fern (it often comes planted in soil but you can mount it on wood) and orchids like Vanda, Phalaenopsis and more.

Do keep in mind that despite the humidity these do still need additional watering. Soaking is the easiest watering technique for most epiphytes 🙂

Hope that helps. 

I don’t think plants are going to have any significant impact on your humidity. You can get a dehumidifier for that, but it’d take a massive number of plants to reduce the humidity by much.
