Not sure if you have a green thumb? No worries, these plants demand minimal care. Check a couple of them out!

Peace Lily

Peace lilies are able to absorb mold spores with their leaves. The spores make their way to the roots and are used as food for the plant. This capability, and their need for insignificant light, make peace lilies a wonderful option for bathrooms. They can provide support in keeping bathroom surfaces clear of mildew and are also known to absorb destructive vapors created by alcohol and acetone.

 

Spider Plant

If you suffer from allergies, or someone who lives in your home does, a spider plant could be best for your home. Not only are they really easy to grow, but they absorb mold and other allergy triggers. They can even absorb traces of carbon monoxide put off by home appliances and formaldehyde, which is an ingredient in many cleaning solutions.

 

Aloe Vera

Aloe Vera is a legitimate winner when it comes to keeping you healthy. It helps eliminate airborne benzene given off from paint and some chemical cleaning solutions. Not only does it help keep your air clean, the gel in its leaves is perfect for treating minor cuts and burns. What makes this plant even better? While aloe vera works hard to take care of your home, you don’t have to do much to take care of it. No green thumb needed.
