10 Indoor Plants That Help Improve Air Quality
"Did you know that certain plants are actually proven to improve the air quality in your home?

Electronics, paints and adhesives are just a few of the elements in our home that emit toxins. Not to mention the various sources of mold that can lead to severe illness for those who suffer from allergies.

There are of course many products you can purchase on the market that serve as air purifiers, but why opt for something man-made, when you can go all natural?"

• English Ivy

• Garden Mum

• Golden Pothos

• Baby Rubber Plant

• Spider Plant

• Wax Begonias

• Peace Lily

• Weeping Fig Ficus

• Bamboo Palm

• Boston Fern

After hurricane Katrina, many people were forced to live in FEMA trailers.

The trailers, which were cheaply built, were full of formaldehyde.

Many people starting buying Rubber Tree Plants because of it's ability to filter those harmful toxins out of the air.

Great info! Just came here to add that English ivy and all lilies are toxic for cats. Always make sure that any new plants are safe for your pets before you bring them into your home.

I personally think that any living plant will help clean the air in your home.

At the moment, I have about 1,000 baby tomato plants in my house. So that should do it.

Snake Plant is also very good at purifying the surrounding air (sansevieria trifasciata). A lot of hospitals will have pots of this in the hallway, because it is helpful in cleaning up the air quality.

It is toxic if ingested, like many other plants on the list.

I like the idea, OP, so don't get me wrong... but to answer your question:

I'm too damned lazy to water "a" plant, let alone 10... or a houseful, for that matter. They'd all be dead within 2 weeks. My man-made-something just plugs in the wall and won't die if I forget to water it.

Sure, it costs monthly and depletes our ozone more by using fossil fuels to power the thing, but hey... It's alive and I can continue being lazy.

Yep, 1,000 plants. I start them inside and move then outside to my unheated greenhouse when they are up and growing. But they germinate in my house.

I plant about two acres of tomatoes and sell a few thousand plants each year. I usually have about 100 varieties.
