The Best Indoor Houseplants


1. Peace Lily: 

Peace Lily's purify the air, provide a calming ambiance, and even neutralize harmful indoor gases. These are perfect indoor plants because they flourish in dark areas, such as bathrooms, bedrooms, and offices.

2. Golden Pothos:

These are a household staple, especially if you find yourself looking at a screen all day. Other than purifying the air, they also prevent ocular hypertension. When you've had too much screen time, relax your eyes and take a break with the Golden Pothos.

3. Cacti:

Cacti are great indoor plants for those who can't seem to keep plants alive for long. Cacti don't require much care and grow all on their own. They require minimal watering, so keep these beauties out of your weekly watering routine!

4. Snake Plants

Snake plants are vibrant and fun, and also require little maintenance. They thrive on indirect sunlight and flourish with a single touch. The best approach when caring for snake plants is to drench and dry, which can extend their lives significantly. Another plus: these guys absorb benzene, xylene, toluene, and keep the system free of toxic fumes.

5. Weeping Fig

These plants are ones experts say must find a place in every household. They will help filter out hidden pollutants in common places such as carpets, curtains, furniture, sheets, etc. Weeping figs basically act as an air purifier.

6.  Aloe Vera

Aloe vera has a gel-like sap that helps heal cuts and burns. It absorbs carbon dioxide and releases oxygen at night, which makes it a great plant for bedrooms. They prefer moist soil but will do fine if you forget to water it occasionally.
