Don’t think you have a green thumb? Don’t worry, these plants need minimal care. Check a few of them out!

Peace Lily

Peace lilies can literally absorb mold spores using their leaves. The spores make their way to the roots and are used as nourishment for the flower. This capability, and their need for very little light, make peace lilies a fabulous option for bathrooms. They can assist in keeping bathroom surfaces clean of mildew and are also known to absorb destructive vapors produced by alcohol and acetone.

 

Spider Plant

If you have allergies or live with an allergy sufferer, a spider plant could be perfect for your home. Not only are they absolutely easy to grow, but they absorb mold and other allergy triggers. They can even absorb some carbon monoxide put off by home appliances and formaldehyde, which is an ingredient in many cleaning products.

 

Aloe Vera

Aloe Vera is a legitimate winner when it comes to keeping your home healthy. It helps get rid of airborne benzene released from paint and some chemical cleaners. Not only does aloe vera improve air quality, the gel within its leaves is wonderful for treating minor cuts and burns. Could it get even better? While aloe vera works hard to take care of your indoor air and possible burns, you have to do very little to take care of it. No green thumb required.
