50 Houseplants That Are Healthy to Keep at Home

10. Pygmy Date Palm (a.k.a Phoenix roebelenii or Dwarf Date Palm) is a versatile indoor or outdoor plant.

The Pygmy Date Palm can range between six to twelve feet, though it will be on the smaller side if grown indoors or potted. These babies love high humidity, but take care to let the soil dry out to avoid mold. They may even enjoy the occasional misting! These trees do grow slowly but remember that it is a labor of love. The payoff will be slim, feathery fronds measuring about three feet long. Give them bright light without dousing them in nonstop sunlight, and they’ll be happy campers. In return, they’ll purify your air of formaldehyde and xylene.
