Mother-in-Law's Tongue

10/16

Mother-in-Law's Tongue best plants for your bedroom

Whether you call it mother-in-law's tongue or snake plant (Dracaena trifasciata), neither one sounds like something you want in your bedroom as you drift off to sleep. However, its air-cleaning properties may make you reconsider whether you want it next to your bed. According to NASA's 1989 Clean Air study, mother-in-law's tongue can help remove formaldehyde, benzene, and trichloroethylene from the air. What's more, its tall, upward-growing leaves make for attractive decor, and short of overwatering it, it's pretty hard to kill.

Spider Plant

Spider  best plants for your bedroom

Like mother-in-law's tongue, spider plant ( Chlorophytum comosum ) is hardy and easy to maintain. It, too, improves indoor air quality by removing formaldehyde, cigarette smoke, ammonia, and benzene, among other pollutants  from the air we breathe. A 2014 study found that spider plants also accumulate particulate matter, further cleaning the air we breathe. It's safe in households with pets and can live in either bright light or less sunny indoor spots. The spider plant gets its name for the "spiderette" offshoots that hang from the main plant. Occasional pruning will keep the spider plant from becoming too unwieldy.

Bamboo Palm best plants for your bedroom

Low-maintenance bamboo palms (Chamaedorea seifrizii) thrive outdoors in USDA zones 10 and 11. Indoors, they grow from 4 to 8 feet when mature and will bring a tropical vibe to your bedroom. This plant is a great choice for a sleeping space because it filters toxins such as xylene, chloroform, carbon monoxide, and formaldehyde out of the air. Since it prefers indirect light to full sun, there's no need to ditch your blackout curtains, either. According to the ASPCA, bamboo palms are nontoxic to dogs and cats.

Areca Palm

Areca Palm best plants for your bedroom

Areca palm (Dypsis lutescens) is a large potted palm that's native to Madagascar and thus likes to be kept moist and humid indoors. Multiple cane-like stems grow from its base, topped by narrow, feathery fronds. As a houseplant, the areca palm reaches a maximum height of about 10 feet and won't flower. What it will do for you is produce oxygen and absorb the pollutants toluene, xylene, and formaldehyde from the air you breathe.

Thanks to the way its leaves cascade over its growing container, golden pothos (Epipremnum aureum), also known as devil's ivy, is a good choice for those who want to hang plants in the bedroom.

Chinese Evergreen

Chinese Evergreen  best plants for your bedroom

Suitable for low-light conditions—and for those without a green thumb—Chinese evergreen (Aglaonema) is a terrific addition to a novice plant grower's bedroom. It removes benzene and formaldehyde from the air, and it grows slowly so it's usually small enough to keep on your nightstand. This plant is toxic to pets, so best steer clear and choose different bedroom plants if your animals sleep with you.
