Aloe Vera
Aloe Vera is called a ‘miracle plant’ because of its infinite benefits. This plant is famous for its benefits on hair, skin, and health. Everyone knows the wonders its gel can do but few people know what it can do without getting cut open.
Aloe Vera purifies the air resulting in breathing easily because they release a lot of oxygen at night and takes in the carbon dioxide we exhale. Make sure to keep Aloe Vera near your window as it needs full sun. Keep it in well-drained soil and water it heavily twice a week.
The snake plant does the same. It also owns a spot in NASA’s list of air-purifying plants which makes it more authentic.
Jasmine
Jasmine is famous for its sweet smell. Some people prefer using scented candles or essential oil diffuser, but we would recommend you keep Jasmine in your room. Research shows that Jasmine promotes peaceful sleep and helps you wake up with reduced anxiety and higher afternoon-alertness. It works better than Lavender.

English Ivy
