Best Indoor Plants for Clean Air


  

Houseplants add beauty to our homes and offices, they have a calming effect, and they give us a sense of well-being. In addition to their obvious attributes, houseplants make us healthier by removing pollutants from the air and adding oxygen back into the room. All houseplants do this to a certain extent, and some excel at it.

 
 
 

  

 



 
 

An outstanding air-purifying plant is the Peace Lily. Peace Lily are very easy to grow. Place them in a spot where they will receive bright, indirect light, keep the soil moist and feed them every three or four weeks and they will reward you with beautiful white flowers and cleaner air for many years.  

 
 
 

  

 



 
 
 

Schefflera is a houseplant that features leaves that form a pattern that looks like an umbrella, thus its common name “Umbrella Tree”. Schefflera are great choices for clean air houseplants because they are very tolerant of indoor conditions.  

 
 
 


  

 
 
 
 

Pothos plants are easy to care for and they'll do well in areas where you don't have a lot of light.   


 
 
 

  

 Snake plants do best in bright light. You can keep them in a place with low light. They just won't grow as fast. They also like their soil on the dryer side.  

 
 
 

 


 
 

  

  

Aglaonema or Chinese Evergreen will tolerate low light and moist but not soggy soil. Let the top inch or two of soil dry out before you water this plant.  

 
 
 

  

 



 
 
 

With its large, interesting foliage, the Dieffenbachia plant prefers bright light but will do okay in low light situations, so it's a great choice for many offices.
