18: Philodendron
Philodendrons are lush, green and tropical houseplants that are praised for their easy-to-care-for nature and air-purifying abilities. With a genus consisting of over 450 species, Philodendrons can fit any style and size of a living space, from small apartments to mansions.
This plant is known for its heart-shaped glossy leaves that vary in color from deep green to red, burgundy, and even pastel green. Most Philodendrons thrive in bright, indirect sunlight and prefer to be kept moderately moist.
Philodendrons are loved by many plant lovers because they do more than add greenery to a room. They purify the air and remove toxins such as formaldehyde and benzene, making them a natural air freshener. Bringing a philodendron into a home can improve air quality as well as bring tranquility and an ambiance of the tropics.
