50 Houseplants That Are Healthy to Keep at Home

18. Pilea has a unique texture on its leaves, which is how it oxygenates the air so well.

The Pilea family is a large family with quite wide-ranging members from vining plants with tiny leaves to the much loved crinkly flowering plant known as the Friendship Plant. It has uniquely textured leaves with gorgeous purple and green coloring. When allowed to dry between watering and kept in bright indirect light, the members of the Pilea family, and mainly the Friendship Plant, will reward you with excellent oxygenation and air purification thanks to the uniquely textured leaves. Try to avoid getting water on its leaves since the unique texture can trap droplets and lead to mold.
