Spider plants are powerful air purifiers! They can absorb and filter toxins in the air, such as formaldehyde, ammonia, and xylene. However, you will need a significant amount of houseplants to really notice the effects. They also increase the humidity of your home. If you’ve hung your spider plant near a window, you might see condensation on the glass after a little while, emitted from the spider plant. They're one of the easiest plants to grow for beginners and you will be rewarded with plenty of spider plant babies to cut and turn into more plants. They’re a win-win-win!
