The right indoor plants don&#8217;t only add an element of style; they also boost your mood, productivity, concentration, and creativity! Plus, they make any room feel zen, and they purify the air. It&#8217;s obvious why we love indoor house plants, so we think every homeowner should try the five plants we&#8217;ve listed below!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-heading\"><strong>Aloe Vera<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Aloe Vera plants are so versatile! You can even keep them in the bathroom because they don&#8217;t require direct sunlight, and they only need water every couple of weeks. They&#8217;re also perfect in the bedroom because aloe vera absorbs carbon dioxide and releases oxygen at night, helping you sleep better. If that&#8217;s not enough, Aloe Vera plants also have juice inside them that works to relieve pain from scratches and burns, so it&#8217;s like growing your own medicine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-heading\"><strong>Devil&#8217;s Ivy<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Devil&#8217;s Ivy is a vine plant that instantly makes any room more vibrant! You can pair these stunning plants with a hanging basket for instant drama in any space. Just remember that these plants can grow up to 40 feet long! They thrive in bright indirect light, and they&#8217;re very drought-tolerant, so they don&#8217;t require much water, which is perfect if you&#8217;re a green-thumb beginner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-heading\"><strong>Succulents<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Succulents are some of the most popular plants around &#8211; and for a good reason. These plants are some of the easiest to keep alive because they&#8217;re low-maintenance and love dry, indoor areas. Succulents are ideal on a windowsill as they do like light. What&#8217;s more, there are so many varieties that you&#8217;re sure to find colours and looks that match any decor!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-heading\"><strong>Spider plants<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Did you know <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nwf.org\/Magazines\/National-Wildlife\/1999\/Spider-Plants-and-Clean-Air#:~:text=The%20National%20Aeronautic%20and%20Space,Plexiglas%20chamber%20in%2024%20hours.\">NASA tested<\/a> the abilities of three common houseplants to remove formaldehyde from the air and found that spider plants were the best? They removed 95% of the toxic substance from a sealed Plexiglas chamber in just 24 hours! As an indoor option, spider plants are one of our favourites! They&#8217;re super resilient and safe for pets. Keep them in bright to moderate light, avoiding direct sun, and fertilize spider plants twice a month during the spring and summer for optimal growth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-heading\"><strong>Snake Plants<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Snake plants are also on <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/NASA_Clean_Air_Study\">NASA&#8217;s list<\/a> of houseplants that clean and filter indoor air, and we love how these plants add a unique look to your home with their upright, strap-like leaves! Snake plants, also known as Sansevieria, are easy to care for and only need to be watered once a week. They prefer bright, indirect light, and they tolerate low light environments, so they&#8217;re perfect for any living situation!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Even if you&#8217;ve never grown anything before, these five indoor plants are great for beginners! Every plant on our list is easy to care for and doesn&#8217;t require too much water. You&#8217;ll love the low maintenance and the high style impact. The right house plants add so much to a home, including an element of design, filtered air, and a touch of zen.
