7. Pothos Plant

According to recent research, the pothos plant — also known as pothos ivy or devil’s ivy — can filter the surrounding air from toxins and volatile organic compounds. Some reputable institutions have even ranked the pothos plant as the best air-purifying indoor plant since it can remove benzene, toluene, and carbon monoxide from the ambient air.

If your house is located in an industrial area or near a busy road, your indoor air has a high amount of pollutants. This means you’re constantly inhaling those toxins which can seriously affect your health. But your green pal pothos plant can rescue you.

Tip: The pothos plant does best in medium sunlight, but it will withstand very low light as well.
