Indoor plants don't just look good — they actively purify the air in your office. NASA research suggests keeping two plants per 100 square feet to help counter poor air quality, filtering out volatile organic compounds (VOCs) like formaldehyde and benzene commonly found in office furnishings and paint. Here are five easy-care plants that pull their weight.
1. Boston Fern
A classic air-purifier that loves bright, indirect sunlight away from windows and drafts. Bonus: it makes a wonderful hanging plant.
2. English Ivy
Easy to grow and maintain, English ivy prefers a few hours of direct sun and a cool environment — perfect for chilly offices. Ambitious teams have even grown entire green walls with it.
3. Snake Plant
The ultimate low-maintenance choice. It thrives in low light, goes weeks without watering, and is one of the best plants for filtering chemical pollutants while releasing oxygen.
4. Madagascar Dragon Tree
Hearty, hard-to-kill dracaenas do well in bright or low-light spaces with minimal watering. The dark green and maroon leaves add a striking touch to any office corner.
5. Aloe
The perfect desk plant. This low-maintenance succulent prefers warm, bright spots away from air-conditioning drafts — and it's practically indestructible.
