1. Snake Plant
The Snake plant is very good at absorbing toxic chemicals such as carbon monoxide, benzene, and formaldehyde—all of which are known to cause nose and throat irritation. What’s great about this indoor plant is that it produces oxygen while absorbing CO2, a process that occurs especially at night.
But there’s more. The Snake plant has also been shown to relieve allergy symptoms. According to a study conducted at Naresuan University, Phitsanulok, Thailand, this lovely plant can absorb CO2 in a closed space at 0.49 ppm/m3, making them oxygen bombs. Your respiratory system will definitely thank you for having this plant in your house.
Also known as Mother-in-Law’s Tongue in some parts of the world, this houseplant is incredibly low-maintenance. It grows in both full and low-light conditions and doesn’t need a lot of water. If you’re a beginner at growing plants, this one is perfect for you.
