Spider Plant
Spider plants are another beginner-friendly choice that will liven up your living space and purify your air. These easy-to-grow plants have long, thin leaves; some varieties even have fun white stripes. If your spider plant is happy, it may grow “pups,” new baby plants that you can pot up and give to all your friends.
ZZ Plant
We all forget to water our plants from time to time. Good news: The hardy ZZplant (aka Zamioculcas zamiifolia) isn’t phased by a little neglect. This air-purifying plant has large potato-like rhizomes for roots, so it stores up lots of water—in fact, you really only need to water it once a month or so.
