The present invention relates to an indoor air purification device using plants, in which plants can be grown with balance and air efficiently flows in bed soil where the plants are planted to maximize air purification efficiency. According to the present invention, the indoor air purification device comprises: a housing (100) with an open front surface; a plurality of flowerpots (200) installed in multiple stages inside the housing; a water supply unit (300) for supplying water to the plurality of flowerpots; and a blowing unit (400) installed on the upper part of the housing and supplying the air purified through the flowerpots into a room. The flowerpot (200) includes an outer container (210), an inner container (220), and a cover (230). The inner container (220) is filled with bed soil (S) formed in a ball or pellet shape with a diameter of 1 to 5 mm by using one or more materials selected from a group including loess, decomposed granite soil, activated carbon, zeolite, perlite, and vermiculite, and thus the air can be efficiently circulated through pores (g) formed by the bed soil having the ball or pellet shape. 본 발명은 식물을 이용한 실내공기 정화장치에 관한 것으로, 식물의 균형잡힌 생장이 가능하도록 함과 아울러 식물이 식재된 상토에서의 공기 흐름을 원활하게 하여 공기정화요율을 극대화할 수 있도록 전면이 개방된 하우징(100); 상기 하우징 내부에 다단으로 설치되는 복수의 화분(200); 상기 복수의 화분에 물을 공급하기 위한 급수부(300); 상기 하우징 상부에 설치되어 화분을 통과하여 정화된 공기를 실내로 공급하는 송풍부(400);를 포함하여 이루어지는 식물을 이용한 실내공기 정화장치로; 상기 화분(200)은 외용기(210)와 내용기(220) 및 커버(230)로 구성되며, 상기 내용기(220)에는 황토, 마사토, 활성탄, 제올라이트, 펄라이트(진주암), 질석(버미큘라이트)을 포함하는 군으로부터 하나 이상의 소재가 직경 1~5mm의 볼 또는 펠릿 형태로 형성된 상토(S)가 채워져 볼 또는 펠릿 형태의 상토가 형성하는 공극(g)을 통해 공기의 유통이 원활히 이루어질 수 있도록 되어 있다.
