3. Gerbera Daisy

Arguably the list’s prettiest entry, the Gerbera daisy is often considered a decorative element in gardening. However, most people tend to overlook its distinct ability to produce a lot of oxygen at night while eliminating harmful chemicals that affect our lungs, such as trichloroethylene and benzene.

Beneficial for those suffering from breathing disorders and sleep apnea, make sure you place the pot on the nightstand for better sleep. Your lungs will thank you for that.

This lovely plant prefers indirect light during the winter and bright sunlight during spring, summer, and fall. Regular watering is required, and the soil should be kept moist.
