2. Spider Plant
Spider plants have antioxidant properties as they successfully absorb dangerous chemicals found in cleaning and furniture products such as ammonia, xylene, benzene, and formaldehyde. This houseplant is incredibly easy to grow and boosts air quality immediately.
There’s a popular study conducted by NASA where experts discovered that spider plants can eliminate up to 90% of the air pollutants found indoors. This absorbing process takes just two days to complete.
Therefore, if you have asthma or allergies, a Spider plant (or even several placed throughout the house) can really help your respiratory system. What’s great about these plants is that when you hang them instead of keeping them on a shelf, they truly change the surroundings with their arching stems and lush foliage.
