    We have a few Spider Plants in the window of our snake room and they seem to thrive.

    According to this article here are 6 plants that are supposed to improve the air quality of your home.

    1. Bamboo Palm: According to NASA, it removes formaldahyde and is also said to act as a natural humidifier.

    2. Snake Plant: Found by NASA to absorb nitrogen oxides and formaldahyde.

    3. Areca Palm: One of the best air purifying plants for general air cleanliness.

    4. Spider Plant: Great indoor plant for removing carbon monoxide and other toxins or impurities. Spider plants are one of three plants NASA deems best at removing formaldahyde from the air.

    5. Peace Lily: Peace lilies could be called the “clean-all.” They’re often placed in bathrooms or laundry rooms because they’re known for removing mold spores. Also known to remove formaldahyde and trichloroethylene.

    6. Gerbera Daisy: Not only do these gorgeous flowers remove benzene from the air, they’re known to improve sleep by absorbing carbon dioxide and giving off more oxygen over night.

    Lots of snakes, a bunch of horses and an array of other animals small and large!

    They don't have to "eat" bugs, they can just take nutrients from the soil. I believe a lot of the carnivorous plants evolved that way because they grow in areas with soil that is not very nutritious. If you supply them what they need they do fine.

    Plants in your BP room

    Spider plants and snake plants grow well for me. Although I often call the snake plant by the older name

    Mother-in-law tongue. My wife gives me dirty looks when I do
