This was one of the most googled plants in lockdown, likely becuase t is almost impossible to kill. However, it has the added bonus of releasing moisture into the air along with oxygen. Ideal for improving wellbeing at home.

We would argue that this plant will help boost your mood purely by it’s looks alone, however, it has another superpower. Peace lilies soak up mould spores in the air and also release moisture back into their environment. You can breathe easy with one of these plants around.

5. Monstera plant

Also known as a Swiss cheese plant, this plant has become an Instagram favourite. However, it is another superstar for purifying the air and boosting air quality in your home.
