Any houseplant produces oxygen, as well as adding to the beauty and coziness of your home. These plants are especially good at being “air filters” which is great for someone with asthma, allergies, or just likes the idea.

2. Snake Plant: Found by NASA to absorb nitrogen oxides and formaldahyde.

3. Areca Palm: One of the best air purifying plants for general air cleanliness.
