Did you know there is a benefit to keeping some varieties of plants inside your home? There are some that can purify the air in your space — and there are others that may renew your mental wellbeing.

Not only are indoor plants wonderful for decorating purposes, the most important part they play is to help clean the air inside your home. Did you know the air inside your home is sometimes more polluted than outside? According to Good Housekeeping, these are some of the easiest to take care of and best for indoors:

Two Low-Light Plant Options – The Snake Plant and The ZZ Plant – these plants are low maintenance and could easily go in your living room or bedroom

Best Air-Purifying Indoor Plant – The Spider Plant – this one needs weekly watering, but you can stick it anywhere to help with air quality indoors.

Best Easy to Care For – Monstera Deliciosa – or the Swiss Cheese Plant – this plant is a tropical plant which features leaves with holes, very exotic looking. It needs moderate watering and indirect light (bright to medium is best). Take note: This plant is toxic to cats and dogs.
