Also easy to care for, the spider plant is capable of thriving under a variety of conditions, and doesn’t require much care at all. Keep this plant anywhere in your kitchen — by the window in the sun, on the countertop underneath overhead cabinets — and watch it grow with the help of occasional waterings and infrequent pruning.
Why it’s great for the kitchen: A great natural air purifier, the spider plant helps remove odor, fumes, and pollutants from the environment.
