Indoor plants are beautiful, ornamental and serve a dual purpose. Not only do they turn your house into a home, they also purify indoor air by adding oxygen through their normal process of photosynthesis. Through various studies conducted over the years, it has been found that some plants are more beneficial than others in removing harmful household toxins. You could place a few of these plants around your home to purify the air as well as adding a decorative edge. There are many more varieties, in fact, too many to be listed here.
