The good news is there are ways to control this and prevent condensation from forming in the first place. If your windows are particularly steamy, it means you need to bring down the moisture levels in your home and plants can help do this.

Some houseplants like the peace lily will absorb moisture through its leaves which will then travel through to their roots.
