Plants naturally have a way of making your space feel more like a home. Maybe it has to do with caring for a living thing, or maybe the pop of color just brings a space to life. If you’re looking to curate a chill environment, these five calming plants will help you do just that.

Easy to take care of and known for their healing properties, aloe plants are an easy go-to if you’re looking to add a low-maintenance, yet purposeful plant to your home. The best part: they help purify the air and develop brown spots when you have excess pollutants in your house or apartment.

2. Jasmine

There’s a reason that jasmine is added to many herbal teas. It’s been shown to soothe the body and the mind, as well as reduce anxiety levels.

3. Lavender

The scent itself is so calming. You may have used a lavender body wash at some point, but the lavender plant has even bigger benefits that help induce a good night’s rest. It’s been proven to minimize babies’ crying. (Crazy right?)

4. English Ivy

If you want an air-purifying machine, English ivy is the plant for you. NASA claims that ivy is so powerful because it’s ridiculously effective at absorbing formaldehyde. You can’t go wrong with this one.

5. Rubber Tree

Another low-maintenance plant, the rubber tree purifies air without needing a ton of sunlight or a warm environment. You can even keep this plant in your basement and it will still help clear your living space of toxins.
