3. Chinese Evergreen
Chinese evergreen is another low-maintenance plant that purifies the air while you catch some Zs. It’s one of the most common indoor plants, and for good reason. This plant releases a high content of oxygen while cleaning indoor spaces of harmful chemicals such as formaldehyde, benzene, and other toxins.
As its name suggests, this low-maintenance plant is quite popular in China, especially for its high efficiency in slashing harmful pollutants from the air. Chinese evergreen is versatile and pretty resilient, which means it can handle different types of indoor environments. It grows up to 3 feet tall and has dark green leaves with patterns of white, cream, and red.
