Best Plants at home for producing oxygen !
Peace lily (Spathiphyllum)
The lush, full leaves of the peace lily remove many types of chemical emissions from indoor air. In fact, this plant is ranked as the most effective at removing toxins like ammonia, acetone, formaldehyde, benzene, and xylene. Additionally, it increases indoor humidity levels, which is an extra benefit in workplaces located in regions with dry climates.
Recommended Care: This potted plan requires minimal sunlight and very little care.
Weeping fig (Ficus benjamina)
This tropical tree is popular for indoor use. Varieties of the species include a tree with a single trunk or another subspecies with more exotic multiple braided trunks. The weeping fig is effective in clearing chemicals such as toluene, formaldehyde, and xylene from indoor air.
Recommended Care: The Weeping Fig thrives in spaces with partial to full sunlight. Water routinely.
Money plant (Pachira aquatica)
NASA featured the money plant in its study of plants and air quality. This exotic plant proved to be efficient in helping clear indoor air pollutants, including harmful chemicals formaldehyde, benzene, toluene, and xylene. However, the money plant’s leaves are toxic to small children, dogs, and cats if ingested. So it’s best suited for the office, anyway.
Recommended Care: The money plant does well in indirect light. Water approximately once per week. Keep this plant out of the reach of children and pets.
Rubber plant (Ficus elastica)
The supple rubber plant is one of the most desirable of indoor plant collections. It also ranks high on the list of plants for clearing formaldehyde from indoor air. Perfect for larger offices, this plant can grow as tall as eight feet in conducive indoor environments.

Areca palm or butterfly palm (Dypsis lutescens)
The large, tender, fan-like branches of the areca palm make it a favorite indoor decorative plant. It’s also a very effective aid in helping clean indoor air. The dangerous chemicals it helps remove include formaldehyde, toluene, and xylene.
Recommended Care: The areca palm grows well in filtered sunlight. Watered frequently.
Chinese evergreens (Algaonemas)
One of the most popular plants for indoor use is the Chinese evergreen. The plant is a relatively high oxygen producer, and it’s effective in clearing formaldehyde, benzene, and other harmful chemicals from indoor air.
Recommended Care: This plant lives well in shaded spaces. Water as needed to keep soil moist.
Gerbera daisy (Gerbera jamesonii)
The colorful gerbera daisy plant is a popular species for use as decorative garden features. The plant is also effective in generating high amounts of oxygen during the night. It removes such harmful chemicals as trichloroethylene, benzene, and formaldehyde.

Aloe vera (Aloe perfoliata L)
Aloe vera is a succulent plant with supple, but strong appendages. It’s ranked among the most effective plants in helping improve indoor air quality, effective in clearing the carcinogens formaldehyde and benzene from indoor air. This plant releases oxygen and absorbs carbon dioxide at night. (Its sap is also used for topical treatment of burns as well as treatment for some internal ailments.)
Recommended Care: The Aloe Vera plant thrives in sunny indoor spaces. Avoid over-watering.
Snake plant, also called “mother-in-law’s tongue” (S. trifasciata laurentii)
The snake plant is among the most effective plants in promoting indoor air quality, and can be found in the JotForm office. The long, slender pointed leaves are strong nighttime oxygen producers. This plant is also helpful in removing chemicals such as formaldehyde, trichloroethylene, benzene, toluene, and xylene from the air.
Recommended Care: The snake plant is very hearty and low maintenance. It thrives in low light and indirect sunlight. Water every other week.
Where plants fit into strategies for improving workplace air quality
There are many ways to maintain healthier indoor air quality, such as improving ventilation, avoiding use of VOC finishes, choosing furniture made of natural materials, using high-efficiency air filters on your HVAC system and/or air-purification equipment, sealing around windows and entry doors, diligently dusting and cleaning, using strong exhaust systems in areas where air pollution is generated and other methods.
Adding indoor plants remains a very appealing option for promoting healthier indoor air in office buildings and other workplaces. Plants deliver great value, performing double duty as air cleaners and natural, high-quality aesthetic features.
