If you’re thinking of adding a bunch of indoor plants to your office space, start with the following five:

1. Spider plant

According to experts, this plant removes volatile organic chemicals and compounds from the air, thereby, purifying the air you breathe. Moreover, it can easily go 1-2 days without water, and so, you don’t have to worry about constantly watering or adjusting it for adequate light exposure.

2. Cactus plant

From tiny cup-sized shrubs to larger-than-life plants, there are over 2,000 different types of cactus in the world.

4. Money plant

We’ve all heard of the saying; “the bigger the money plant leaves, the more money in the house”. While this saying may be stuff of the legend, there are other important benefits that the money plant (also known as Pothos) has. Whether on the windowsill, stairs, or the walkway, money plant is one of the most popular office plants in the world.

It requires almost no sunlight to grow, and yet, it grows extremely quickly. Money plant is known to attract wealth and prosperity, which is why, it’s an important plant in Feng Shui.

What’s more, they effortlessly take in exhaled carbon dioxide and convert it into oxygen that’s breathable. In ideal conditions, rubber plants can reach as tall as 8 feet, and so, make sure to place them where there is enough space for them to grow.
