Plants provide a haven, even in a small studio apartment. They are a great idea for at home as well as at work. Not only are they pretty to look at, they are improving the air you breathe. These air-purifying plants look great, produce oxygen, and can even absorb contaminants like formaldehyde and benzene, which are commonly off-gassed from furniture and mattresses. Here are the plants to purify the air in your home twenty-four-seven: bamboo, weeping figs, rubber tree, spider plant, peace lily, and snake plants. Houseplants do need their leaves dusted from time to time, so you can do this with a banana peel. The dust clings to the peel, and the leaves are nourished by the peel. Go bananas!
