Plant Suggestion #1– Snake Plant
This hearty house plant is a good choice for new plant parents since it doesn’t need too much watering and attention. That’s not just it! Snake plants release oxygen at night, which can help you get a good night’s sleep.
Plant Suggestion #2- Peace Lily
This is another low-maintenance plant and makes a gorgeous floral addition to your home. It is renowned for removing air toxins like ammonia, formaldehyde, and benzene. What’s more, they’re also known to add moisture to dry environments.
Plant Suggestion #3- Spider Plant
Spider plants help purify the air by absorbing carbon monoxide, formaldehyde and xylene. Despite their name, they are non-toxic plants which makes them both pet and child friendly.
Plant Suggestion #4- Parlor Palm
Want to create a tropical vibe at home? Then this indoor plant is perfect for you! The Parlor Palm prefers areas with high humidity. To take care of this plant, the soil should be evenly moist and should be watered freely during the growing season. During the winter season, watering should be reduced. The secret to this pretty palm is making sure that the soil remains moist, but well-drained.

This plant is also known as Zamioculcas zamiifolia, (yeah that’s a mouthful). It grows slowly to a height of two to three feet making it a perfect addition to your home or even to your office. Research has shown it specifically savvy at removing large amounts of toxins from the air.
