Re: plants!!

  • all plants will filter the air, but some can be poisionous to your animals and kids.... I have spider plants, phyledrendon's, and bamboo... just check to see which ones have adverse side effects if you have family/furry family.

  • I do love my spider plants because they thrive on abuse. I water everything once a week, but the spiderplants always grow very well and seem to enjoy never being repotted.

    I also have an anthurium (not recommended, really easy to kill and it won't ever flower for me), christmas cactus (okay, but probably not much of an air purifier), and a giant tropical thing that looks like a corn plant my sister left me 7 years ago when she skipped the country. 

    Ask around work. If anyone mentioned wanting houseplants, I could start a spiderplant in about a week with really minimal effort.

  • found a link for you... her blog has a list of toxic and nontoxic plants.
