By Cornelius Nunev


The indoor air quality of your home is vital to your health. With these houseplants, you can filter the air without dumping hundreds of dollars into electronic air filters.

Snake plant a great choice

The Snake plant converts CO2 into oxygen at night, which makes it great for the bedroom. It costs $15 up to $70 depending on the size and can scrub air of formaldehyde, toluene, benzene, trichloroethylene and xylene.

Get some Devil's Ivy

A plant that's easy to find, Devil's Ivy (aka Golden Pothos) starts at around $15. It screens formaldehyde, trichloroethylene, xylene, toluene and benzene.

The very best could possibly be Florist's Chrysanthemum

Florist's Chrysanthemum (aka Pot Mum) is affordable at under $5, but that's for the seeds, as the plant is hard to find in stores already potted. The Chrysanthemum flowers are attractive, and the plant screens out formaldehyde, trichloroethylene, xylene, toluene, ammonia and benzene.

Get some Peace Lily
