10 Best Indoor Plants To Purify The Air In Your Home

{This post contains affiliate links, please see disclosures for more info!}

1. Aloe Vera Plant.

This incredibly simple-to-grow, sun-loving succulent helps to remove formaldehyde and benzene, which can be a by-product of cleaning products, paints, and more.

As a succulent, aloe plants require very little maintenance. It’s important to water them generously every few weeks. If your aloe plant is getting too much water, then it will rot, so be careful.

They’re best kept in indirect sunlight, so a windowsill on the east side of your home should do fine. They excel at temperatures between 55 and 80 degrees Fahrenheit.

On top of its simplicity and air-purifying abilities, the aloe plant has medicinal properties. To learn more about how to use this plant, check out healthline.com.

 

2. Snake Plant.

Don’t worry; this one won’t bite! As you may have guessed, the snake plant gets its name for its long leaves that somewhat resemble snakes.

Similar to other home succulents, snake plants help recycle indoor air. What is unusual about this type of plant is that it is one of the very few plants that can turn carbon dioxide ( CO2) into oxygen at night.

 Are you the kind of person who always forgets about your plants? If you answered yes, then this is the plant for you. This plant is a perfect way to fill a corner and hide bare walls.

Snake plants require little sunlight, and they can survive for weeks without water.

 

3. Cacti.

They may be prickly, but they sure are pretty. Cacti work wonders for your home’s air quality by absorbing tons of bacteria and carbon monoxide and releasing plenty of oxygen.

Nearly all cacti have the same air-purifying abilities, so your choice of cactus comes down to pragmatic concerns and personal taste. For a quick rundown on how to care for any cactus, take a look at dwell.com.

 

4. Chrysanthemum Plant.

Chrysanthemums are some of the most beautiful flowers in the world, and they can easily be grown indoors. These flowers absorb ammonia and many other toxins, so they’re a great choice for any home.

Since chrysanthemums come in a variety of colors and patterns, you’re sure to find a variety that suits your style. Chrysanthemums may be toxic to your pets, so if you have a curious dog or cat, then it’s best to keep these flowers out of their grasp.

 

5. Boston Fern.

 These plants complement any room or style of décor, so they’re an awesome choice for anyone who needs to spice up their home. On top of that, they’re great at regulating your home’s humidity.

Boston ferns are pretty easy to take care of, but it pays to be informed. For an in-depth look at how to grow happy, healthy Boston ferns, check out thespruce.com.

 

6. Spider Plant.

You’ve probably seen spider plants everywhere, and there’s a good reason for that. Spider plants are easy to take care of, and they’re great at filtering formaldehyde and producing plentiful oxygen.

Spider plants thrive in indirect sunlight, so don’t put them right in front of a windowsill. They prefer cooler temperatures, and for the best results, you should occasionally replace their soil.

 

7. Pineapple Plant.

Not only are pineapples fun, but they’re also super easy to grow on your own. You don’t even need to wait for a seed to sprout. Just go to a grocery store, eat the fruit, and plant the leafy part.

While indoor pineapple plants don’t produce large pineapples, they’re still very beautiful, and they work wonders for your air quality. To better understand how to grow and care for your pineapple plants, check out this comprehensive guide at modandmint.com.

 

8. Chinese Evergreen.

Chinese evergreens have a simplistic elegance that is unmatched by most houseplants. Furthermore, they’re very easy to manage. You just have to avoid overwatering them or letting them bake in direct sunlight.

Like chrysanthemums, Chinese evergreens are slightly toxic to pets, so try to keep that in mind when finding a spot for this plant. Luckily, they only need small pots, and you can place them almost anywhere.

 

9. Rubber Tree.

Rubber trees are renowned for their slender height and beautiful green leaves. These plants grow very tall, so it’s best to put them in a corner with plenty of vertical space.

These plants are quite easy to take care of, but there are some minor caveats. Take a look at thesill.com to make sure that you’re taking proper care of your rubber tree.

 

10. English Ivy.

English ivy is an iconic plant that gives off strong academic and aristocratic vibes. You’ve likely seen English ivy creeping along all sides of many brick buildings and stone manors.

With that in mind, it’s important to regularly check on your English ivy plant to make sure that it’s not latching onto your walls. This plant is great for your home’s air quality, but you probably don’t want it to cover your home’s entire interior.


Once you receive the awesome benefits of these plants you’ll want to add more to your sacred space. Happy planting!
