15 Plants That Naturally Purify Your Home's Air

13. Broadleaf lady palm

The broadleaf lady palm is a slow-growing houseplant that removes ammonia, carbon dioxide, formaldehyde, and xylene from the air. This plant prefers indirect sunlight. When watering, allow the soil to dry out to a depth of one inch before providing a thorough soaking. Repot the broadleaf lady palm into larger pots as it grows. You can stop its growth, which can reach eight feet or more, by not sizing up the pot once you are happy with its height.
