1. Spider Plant

Spider plants work as an antioxidant as they successfully eliminate harsh chemicals found in furniture and cleaning products such as benzene, xylene, formaldehyde and ammonia. This indoor plant is pretty easy to grow and improves air quality immediately. According to this study made by NASA, the spider plant can remove up to 90% of the indoor air pollutants in just two days. Amazing, isn’t it?

So, if you’re struggling with asthma or allergies, consider purchasing some indoor plants. If you already own a few, you’re already one step ahead. Research suggests that older plants are actually doing a better job purifying the indoor air and processing out pollutants — so take care of your plants, and they will take care of you.
