Studies have proven that house plants improve concentration and productivity and they reduce stress levels. Indoor air pollution, arises from a variety of causes which can also cause health problems. Studies warn that carbon pollution and resulting climate change are expected to lead to more intense hurricanes and storms, heavier and frequent floods, increased drought, and more severe wildfires. Houseplants make the best natural air purifiers. They have the ability to cleanse the air from toxic chemicals which are usually found in paint, cigarettes, vinyl and solvents. Plants can raise the humidity in the air and release water as moisture which can help us from breathing problems, dry coughs and sore throat. Here I will list out 5 such indoor plant which you should consider having at home from this year and why you should have them.

Thank you for this valuable information. Could you please guide me as to what I should do with my Spider plant? I planted one recently I don’t know shit about these things. I did it out of sheer impulse when someone told me that girls love it when you have potted plants in your apartment.
But the plant has started to die I think. I might have watered it every single day?
I do not know if I should do this or if I should water it once in a week or where to place it. (It’s kept in the kitchen as of now, gets a lot of sun ). I do not want it to die as I have given a lot of effort to soil for my plant in this age of concrete and flats. Please help me.
