12 Indoor Air-Cleaning Plants

I sometimes get what I refer to as "plant envy" when I visit other people's houses.

Observing these verdant, luscious trees and flowers near the window or in the yard evokes a sense of relaxation within me that begs me to join the plant community. The fact that these ordinary house plants that purify your air are also reasonably priced décor makes them even more alluring. Unfortunately, when choosing plants for their homes and backyards, pet owners need to exercise extreme caution. We might lose our tiny closest buddies to something we once believed would improve their breathing if we make one error when handling peace lilies.

After doing some research, I discovered several gorgeous plants that not only protect your furry friends but also help purify the air. Please pay particular attention to the names to ensure that you are receiving the correct plants!

1. Spider Plant (Chlorophytum Comosum)

This graceful plant with long, flowing leaves has been shown to have positive effects on indoor air quality and is safe for pets. It is regarded as one of the best air purifiers and removes formaldehyde, xylene, and toluene from the air within your home.

The spider plant is one of my favorite houseplants because it's easy to grow indoors and can withstand folks like me who are not very good at gardening. I actually have one next to me on my bookshelf. Thus, this is a fantastic choice if you're seeking a low-maintenance plant.

2. Small Date Palm (Phoenix Roebelenii)

You can probably find this palm in someone's front or backyard. It is just as good at removing benzene, xylene, and formaldehyde as the Spider Plant.

3. Nephrolepis Exaltata 'Bostoniensis,' or Boston Fern

This is undoubtedly one of my personal favorites because it is so beautiful to look at. The fact that this plant may be grown indoors only serves to increase its allure! Formaldehyde, benzene, and xylene are among the indoor air contaminants that the Boston Fern removes.
