7. Rubber Plant
According to a NASA study, rubber plants (Ficus robusta) aren’t just low-maintenance plants; they are also natural purifiers that improve indoor air quality. Their large leaves can trap airborne toxins and break them down, making them harmless.
They also absorb exhaled carbon dioxide, converting it to breathable oxygen. But that’s not all: rubber plants also eliminate mold and bacteria spores in the air. And just like that, your lungs will breathe cleaner air.
You don’t need too much experience with plants to grow a rubber plant, as it’s pretty tolerant of neglect. If it gets the right conditions, the plant can eventually reach 8 feet tall, so make sure you keep it in a place where there’s space for it to grow.
