Did you know that indoor air pollution is one of the top environmental risks to your health? After having some issues with what I thought must be allergies that just never went away, I introduced some NASA approved air purifying plants to my home.

1 Garden Mum

Easy to find pretty much anywhere, the Garden Mum scrubbed pollutants out of the air in the NASA study better than any other indoor plants they looked at. 

2 Peace Lily

Smaller than most of the plants on this list, the Peace Lily does a lot of work cleaning the air for its size.

3 Dracaena

They are foliage plants (meaning they don’t flower) with stripes of color in the leaves. This is one of the houseplants that are toxic to cats and dogs, so stay away if you’ve got one of these furry friends in your home.

4 Snake Plant or Mother-in-Law’s Tongue

It needs a good watering every so often, but it is perfectly fine with the soil drying out occasionally

I couldn’t imagine going back to having a house without houseplants. Having brought even just a little bit of nature inside my home has made life better by cleaning my air and making it, in general, a more cheerful and welcoming space.  Swipe up to see the full list!
