9. Money Plant

The Money plant is easily recognizable thanks to its flat, green, circular leaves that can reach 5 inches (15cm). One of the best indoor plants for air purification, they are great at reducing levels of dangerous chemicals found in paints, carpets, glues, and man-made fabrics.

Belonging to the stinging nettle family, this lovely plant can reach a height of 16 inches (40 cm) and does best in a bright spot, away from direct sunlight. When the soil feels dry to the touch, that’s a sign the plant needs water. Also, make sure you feed it once a month with a liquid feed during the summer and spring.
