Adding plants to your bedroom is about more than just aesthetics. Having plants in your space can boost your mood, reduce stress levels, increase productivity, enhance creativity, and provide better air quality.
The best plants for a bedroom provide these physical and mental health benefits and more. Certain plants on this list boost oxygen levels at night, providing you with better sleep.
Parlor Palm
The Parlor Palm is an easy to care for plant traditionally used as a focal point in one of the most important rooms in the homes of the time, the parlor, hence its name. This delicate, tropical plant does well in medium to low-light spaces and would thrive near your ensuite bathroom, where it can get some extra humidity. Its easygoing nature makes it one of the best plants for the bedroom.
Benefit: Removes pollutants such as formaldehyde and carbon monoxide from the air.
Snake Plant
The Snake Plant is a perfect bedroom houseplant with its hardy nature and adaptability to various care conditions. This sculptural plant with long, leathery, variegated sword-like leaves adds an exotic aesthetic to any bedroom. If your bedroom doesn't get a ton of sunlight, the snake plant is the best bedroom plant for you. You won't have to deal with messy dropping leaves or complicated watering schedules with this plant.
Benefit: Removes allergens like dander and dust from the air.
Philodendron Brazil
Philodendron Brazil is one of the most low maintenance bedroom plants you can own. Its lush, trailing vines would look beautiful hanging in the corner of the room, drawing attention to its bright green heart-shaped leaves. This plant is adaptable to various light conditions, making it an ideal indoor plant for the bedroom.
Benefit: Removes pollutants such as formaldehyde from the air.
Rubber Plant
The Rubber Plant is another relatively easy to grow plant with powerful toxin-eliminating benefits, making it one of the best plants for the bedroom. These plants do well in moderate to low light and have an easy-to-maintain watering cadence. In Feng Shui, the round, waxy leaves of the Rubber Tree are believed to bring fortune and wealth.
Benefit: Improves air quality by absorbing airborne chemicals.
Fiddle Leaf Fig
The Fiddle Leaf Fig is one of the trendiest plants for the bedroom, showing up in numerous interior design magazines. Its staggering heights and large, oblong leaves make it the focal point of any room. Known to be a bit finicky, these plants love to stick to one bright, indirectly lit spot in the room. All care in moderation will keep this plant happy and put less of a burden on you.
Benefit: Boosts positive energy, promotes concentration, and increases productivity.
Heartleaf Philodendron
The Heartleaf Philodendron was one of NASA's top 10 list for air purifiers. It's one of the best plants for a bedroom because it is near impossible to kill. This plant is so adaptable and easy to grow. It just needs moderate to bright light, so hanging it near a window is ideal, and an occasional watering that won't burden your schedule.
Benefit: Improves air quality by absorbing toxins like formaldehyde.
Chinese Evergreen
The Chinese Evergreen makes a great indoor bedroom plant because it's low maintenance and lives long. Its gorgeously luminant, broad, sage-green leaves spread out, making it a lush and dense plant. The Chinese Evergreen loves bright indirect light, so place it near a bedroom window with a sheer curtain. Water when the top two inches of soil are dry. This plant is believed to bring well-being to the home.
Benefit: Improves air quality by filtering indoor air of pollutants and toxins.
Jade Pothos
Jade Pothos is one of the best plants to have in your bedroom because it is extremely low maintenance and novice plant owner friendly. Plant care is simple, it likes moderate light and needs to be watered regularly, but it's very forgiving and difficult to kill. It has a similar aesthetic to the Heart Leaf Philodendron and loves to trail up, down, or across a surface.
Benefit: Eliminates odors and purifies the air of toxins like benzene, carbon monoxide, and formaldehyde.
Anthurium
Anthurium is a tropical evergreen plant whose bright red flowers make it an aesthetically ideal houseplant for the bedroom. It's a symbol of kindness and generosity, cherished for its blooms. Its plant care requires a brightly lit space, although it can adapt to medium to low light, and watering once a week through most of the year, pulling back in the winter.
Benefit: Improves air quality by absorbing ammonia, toluene, xylene, and formaldehyde.
Monstera Deliciosa
Monstera Deliciosa has one of the most unique looks, with large perforated leaves sprouting from thick, sturdy stems. They are one of the best plants for the bedroom, not just because of their stunning aesthetic but their many benefits. Plant care requires bright, indirect light, although this plant can adapt to bright, direct light and watering roughly every 1-2 weeks.

Should You Keep Plants In Your Bedroom?
Yes, you can absolutely keep plants in your bedroom—the benefits of plants in the home, in any room, far outweigh any possible disadvantages. There has been some concern about plants emitting carbon dioxide at night, but humans and pets produce more CO2 than plants, so they are completely safe.
