This product was recommended by Jasmin Diaz from SmokyMountains
One of the best plants for purifying the air around you is Chrysanthemums. They eliminate toxins like ammonia, formaldehyde, xylene, benzene, and other common toxins. They do require a bit of attention though, you have to check the soil every other day to make sure the soil stays damp. Now aside from the benefits, this plant is toxic to animals. If you choose to have a chrysanthemum in your home make sure to keep it away from both cats and dogs.

Sansevieria trifasciata Laurentii Live Snake Plant
This product was recommended by Rob Greene from Price of Meat
There are a couple of de facto reasons why I love Snake Plants. They don’t need a lot of looking after, and only need to be watered once a week or so, and for some reason, they seem to exude far more oxygen at night, which means that if you invite a snake into your house, you’re going to sleep more peacefully, and easily during the hours of darkness.

Kona Sugarloaf Pineapple Plant
This product was recommended by Jason Cordes from CocoLoan
According to a recent NASA study, pineapple plants can stop snoring. However, NASA asserts that pineapple plants produce oxygen and boost air quality at night which could improve sleep quality and cut out those snores, even though they do not remove any toxins from the air. Although these plants are incredibly hardy and can survive with very little water, take precautions because they are vulnerable to frost and detest the cold.

It needs bright light, but can tolerate low-light levels up to a certain degree. Again, water it when half of the soil is dry, plant it in a well-draining growing medium, and that’s it. You should fertilize this plant more often than the snake plant, but if you follow the instructions on the package, your plant will be just fine.
