Also indoor plants help in keeping the room slightly cooler and pleasant to eyes .
Following is the list of some indoor plants :

2 Snake plant

4 Pothos vine
They are so easy to grow that anyone can keep alive. Choose a sunny spot , but without too much direct light .Water occasionally , better a little too dry than too wet with a pothos plant.
