Easy Grow Indoor Plants

Having plants around us makes us feel rejuvenated. Indoor plants not only convert carbon dioxide to oxygen, but they also trap and absorb many pollutants. Many of these chemical compounds, which are released into our air through a process called “off-gassing,” come from everyday items present in our homes and offices. Here is a list of some indoor plants that are easy to grow and require low maintenance.
