Question

What are the best kind of plants for indoor office environments?

Answer 1

NASA has studied using plants to improve air quality in enclosed spaces. For instance, spider plant was found to be efficient at removing formaldehyde and personally I like at as an indoor plant since it is very low maintenance. The web sites referred below contains several suggestions for different kinds of pollution (and esthetic preferences :) ). Avoid ferns, as their spores are harmful to the lungs. Avoid Ficus benjamini as it is extremely allergenic (which is quite ironic since it has been, at least in Norway, quite popular in offices and public buildings).

Answer 2

Cacti --- low maintenance, high tolerance
