6. Devil’s Ivy

Keep your lungs healthy by getting yourself a Devil’s Ivy. Also known as Golden Pothos, this popular indoor plant is native to the Soloman Islands, but it now grows all over the world.

Not only does it look lovely in your home, but it’s also extremely easy to care for, so you don’t need a green thumb to grow it. The most important benefit of having a Devil’s ivy plant in your house is that it’s quite efficient at purifying the air of pollutants such as xylene, formaldehyde, trichloroethylene, and benzene.

It’s best to keep the pot near a window while making sure it doesn’t get direct sunlight.
