Houseplants to Breathe New Life into Your New Home

They also provide extra benefits, such as air purification, to keep a new home smelling new. Continue reading below to learn more.

Peace Lily
Peace lily plants are beautiful, low-maintenance additions to any home. They are exceptional filtration plants that will reduce several airborne toxins in the air. They require water about once a week and minimal sunlight.

Air Plants
Air plants, also called Tillandsia, are a unique type of indoor plant. They do not require soil to grow, and they only need a weekly mist of water. These plants can produce a variety of colored tendrils and flowers to brighten up all areas of the home.

Red-Edged Dracaena
Dracaena plants are a wonderful addition to a home with high ceilings. They can grow as high as fifteen feet to provide a beautiful and decorative space-filler. Dracaena plants can also remove several airborne toxins, such as formaldehyde and xylene.

Aloe Vera
Aloe Vera is a common plant of the Southwest, because it can go up to three weeks without water. It also produces a gel that can sooth cuts, burns, and irritations. The aloe Vera plant can also signify when there are too many harmful chemicals in the air. The leaves may develop brown spots in response to excessive chemicals.

Spider Plant
Spider plants are one of the most common houseplants, because they are easy to grow and they purify the air. Spider plants can fight against various pollutants, such as formaldehyde, carbon monoxide, and benzene. These plants are also easy to expand across the house. There are small “pups” produced at the end of the tendrils that can be snipped off and repotted.
