thanks,
I’m growing Spathiphyllum at home (presented to me and my husband on wedding)
now it’s clear how easy to take care of it

Amazing plants –
Mother in Law’s tongue, peace lily, English Ivy, philodendron, pothos, and spider plant – these all remove chemical toxins from the air (like synthetic fragrances are made from – i.e., benzine, acetone, toluene, formaldehyde). I have an English ivy at work because people STILL won’t leave their #*&^#$%!# perfumed products at home.

Of the plants I listed above, only the spider plant is not poisonous to cats / people. Another that is not toxic to cats is the bamboo palm, not sure how easy that is to grow, though. I keep trying to find one of these locally since I’ve ordered plants through the mail and it never works. A spider plant shouldn’t be that hard to find. People are always trying to “adopt out” their spider-babies.

Thanks for identifying these (a bonus) as easy-to-grow ! – j

i agree.some of those are easy indoor plants to grow! i think aloe vera is also one of the easy plants to grow.

Appreciate the research Mandy. I used to have an airplane plant and miss it very much. Plants make good pets. They don’t eat or drink too much and never complain about anything whatsoever.

Spider Plant/Airplane Plant is considered the best house plant for removing CO from the home or any closed in environment.

I like the mother-in-laws tongue. I don’t have many house plants (my peace lily is very neglected), but I think I’ll put some effort into them in the winter after my balcony container garden is a distant memory. Cheers!

I know you are right as I am a beginner with plants and have pretty good luck with some of the plants listed. Peace Lily, Mother-in-Law’s tongue, pothos and philodendron have worked well. Thanks for doing the research, now I’ll probably add Schefflera or a Dieffendbachia or both!
