It purifies indoor air and filters formaldehyde and other toxins, and the broad leaves naturally release moisture into the surrounding air. Keep it away from heating vents and air conditioning units, as the dry airflow causes the leaf edges to brown and curl. It thrives in a bathroom, near a kitchen sink, inside a glass terrarium, or in any spot where ambient humidity stays consistently above 50 percent.
