15 Plants That Naturally Purify Your Home's Air

8. Prayer Plant

Hailing from South America, the prayer plant is compact and only grows to the height of 12 inches, so you can conveniently place it on your desk or an end table. This plant grows well in semi-shade or semi-sun. This air-purifying plant is lovely to behold with its lustrous green leaves that feature a rib-like pattern. A charming house-warming gift, this plant is easy to care for, requiring routine watering. Its habit of unfurling its leaves during the day and closing them again at night makes this plant an interesting sight to see.
