Wolverton wrote a really nice book on the topic titled, "How to Grow Fresh Air." It has a nice list of 50 houseplants ranked by how well they clean the air and how easy they are to grow. Probably my favorite gardening book! The lead NASA scientist, Dr. B.C.

Just thought I would note that. Via the ASPCA.org website, of all the plants listed except for 5 and 13 are toxic to either cats or dogs. Just thought I would note that.

Have you looked into maybe placing some palms? They are a little more sun hungry, but if you have a nice bay window, they look real nice and smell good as well.

Thanks for the information though. It would have helped if you could add pictures of the respective plants. Thanks for the information though.

Thanks for the information. My cat loves to eat spider plants when they are indoors but ignores them when they are grown outdoors (they grow really well outdoors where I live). Maybe he likes the extra stuff the plants absorb from the air when indoors? Or he could be just another weird cat.... This is a really interesting post, Fern. Thanks for the information.
