Only six of Google's earliest employees still work at the internet giant — and that includes founders Larry Page and Sergey Brin.

Some early Google employees have gone on to become entrepreneurs, while others are now angel investors, and a lucky few have gone on to become top executives at other tech companies. A few are happily retired.

In 2015, a Quora user compiled a list of all the original Googlers and where there careers have taken them. Only six of the original 21 are still at the company, which reorganized to become Alphabet two years ago.

Here is what's become of the first 21 employees since launching their careers at Google.

Jillian D'Onfro and Alyson Shontell contributed reporting on previous versions of this article.

• Established in 1854, McSorley's Old Ale House is one of New York City's oldest bars.
• The bar is still open in its original location.
• Hundreds of items hang on its walls, some of which have been there since the day it opened.

McSorley's Old Ale House is one of the oldest bars in New York City. Established in 1854, the bar still serves its signature ale and sits in the same location as it did from the beginning.

Plenty of famous people have walked through its doors, like Teddy Roosevelt, Woody Guthrie, John Lennon, Babe Ruth, Hunter S. Thompson, and Harry Houdini. President Abraham Lincoln is rumored to have paid McSorley's a visit, and E.E. Cummings even wrote a poem about the bar.

Going inside McSorley's feels like a trip back in time, and there are signs of its history all around. Ahead, take a look inside the famous ale house.

McSorley's Old Ale House is located in the East Village, on 7th Street near 3rd Avenue in the St. Mark's Historic District.

Established in 1854, the pub boasts the slogan: "We were here before you were born."

Only two types of beer are served at McSorley's: a pale ale and a dark porter. Ordering is easy — you simply say "light" or "dark."

Which is worse for you: weed or whiskey?

It's a tough call. There are dozens of factors to account for, including how the substances affect your heart, brain, and behavior, and how likely you are to get hooked. Time is important, too — while some effects are noticeable immediately, others only begin to shape up after months or years of use. 

The comparison is slightly unfair for another reason: While scientists have been researching the effects of alcohol for decades, the science of cannabis is a lot murkier due to its mostly illegal status. 

Still, based on the studies we have, there appears to be a clear winner.

DON'T MISS: What marijuana really does to your body and brain

30,722 Americans died from alcohol-induced causes in 2014. There have been 0 documented deaths from marijuana use alone.

Last year, more than 30,000 people died from alcohol-induced causes in the US — and that does not count drinking-related accidents or homicides. If those deaths were included, the number would be closer to 90,000, according to the CDC. 

Meanwhile, no deaths from marijuana overdoses have been reported, according to the DEA. A 16-year study of more than 65,000 Americans published in the American Journal of Public Health found that the healthy marijuana users were not more likely to die of an early death than the healthy men and women who did not use cannabis.

Marijuana appears to be significantly less addictive than alcohol.

Close to half of all adults have tried marijuana at least once, making it one of the most widely used illegal drugs. Yet research suggests that a relatively small percentage of people become addicted. For a large 1994 survey, epidemiologists at the National Institute on Drug Abuse asked more than 8,000 people between the ages of 15 and 64 about their drug use. Of those who had tried marijuana at least once, roughly 9% eventually fit a diagnosis of addiction. For alcohol, the figure was about 15%. To put that in perspective, the addiction rate for cocaine was 17%, while heroin was 23% and nicotine was 32%.

Marijuana may be harder on your heart; while moderate drinking could be beneficial.

Unlike alcohol, which slows down your heart rate, marijuana speeds it up, which could have negative short-term effects on the heart. Still, the largest-ever report on cannabis from the National Academies of Sciences, which was released in January, found insufficient evidence to support or refute the idea that cannabis might increase the overall risk of a heart attack.

On the other hand, low to moderate drinking — about a glass a day — has been linked with a lower risk of heart attack and stroke when compared to complete abstention. Still, James Nicholls, a director at Alcohol Research UK, told the Guardian that those findings should be taken with a grain of salt since "any protective effects tend to be cancelled out by even occasional bouts of heavier drinking."

Warning: Spoilers ahead for "Stranger Things" season two.

Netflix's breakout series "Stranger Things" has been captivating audiences with its numerous '80s movies references and stellar young cast since its debut in 2016.

For the actors, it was exactly a year between the start of filming on season one in November 2015 and returning for season two exactly one year later in 2016. About the same amount of time transpired for the characters between the seasons as well and it's pretty astounding how much had changed for them over the course of the show so far.

Let's take a look at how far Eleven, Mike, and the rest of the characters have come since we first saw them last year.

Mike Wheeler was introduced as the de facto leader of his group — always coming up with plans and standing up for his friends.

Mike and his friends, who call themselves "the party" in reference to their Dungeons and Dragons campaigns, were the odd ones out in school. Mike was usually the one to stand up to the bullies or reassure his buddies when things were looking dire.

After meeting Eleven and then seemingly losing her, Mike spent much of season two in a much darker mindset.

At the start of season two, it's apparent that the events of the first season left Mike seemingly depressed and prone to acting out. He was heartbroken by Eleven's disappearance, but sprang back into old-Mike action when it became clear Will needed his help once more.

Eleven appeared on the first season as a scared but capable young girl with a very limited understanding of the world.

Though Eleven was a powerful child with psychic powers, she had been raised in abusive captivity and didn't know basic concepts like friendship, promises, or Eggo waffles. But when she met Mike and his friends, her entire world changed.

The Su-57 could be the future of Russian military aviation — but there's still a lot of questions hanging around the country's first stealth fighter.

While Russia recently announced its desire to turn its first stealth fighter into a sixth generation plane, the Su-57 is still undergoing testing and has yet to be mass produced.

Moscow, nevertheless, touts the Su-57 as a more capable fighter than the F-22 Raptor, despite the fact that much of its capabilities are still classified.

While the two stealth planes are similar in design and other ways, they also have plenty of differences.

Here's what we know thus far about the Su-57:

Russian President Vladimir Putin himself even checked out the Su-57 after it first flew.

The most current Su-57 prototype is fitted with an Izdelie-30 engine, but it reportedly has been problematic and is slated to be tested near the end of 2017.

The fighter also only needs about 1,100 feet of runway length to take off.

I've been using Google's Pixel 2 XL for a few weeks, and, for the first time, I'm finding it harder to convince myself that it's that much better than an iPhone.

The iPhone X makes a serious case for itself purely based on design. It's that pretty, especially when you see it in person. 

But once I snapped out of the iPhone X spell, I remembered there are several key reasons why the Pixel 2 phones are better.

SEE ALSO: The iPhone X is actually more durable than the iPhone 8

1. Both the Pixel 2 and Pixel 2 XL are cheaper than the iPhone X.

Right off the bat, Google's new Pixel 2 phones have a huge advantage over the iPhone X: Price.

The Pixel 2 starts at $650, which is $350 less than the iPhone X's $1,000 starting price tag. 

The larger Pixel 2 XL costs $850, which is still $150 less than the iPhone X starting price.

2. The Pixel 2 phones come included with a fast charger, whereas the iPhone X doesn't.

Apple finally added support for fast charging on the iPhone 8 and iPhone X, a genuinely meaningful feature that Android phones have had for years. It lets you get hours of battery life from just a few minutes of charging, which is incredibly useful when you're in a pinch.

However, you'll find a standard iPhone charger when you unbox the iPhone X, and you'll have to buy separate accessories if you want to fast charge the new iPhones.

Meanwhile, Google's Pixel 2 phones come with a fast charger included in the box. So, not only are the Pixel 2 phones cheaper, they don't require you to spend more to take advantage of core features. 

3. The Pixel 2 XL has a bigger screen than the iPhone X, even though both phones are roughly the same weight.

The 175-gram Pixel 2 XL and the 174-gram iPhone X are almost identical in weight, but the Pixel 2 XL has larger 6-inch screen compared to the iPhone X's 5.8-inch display. You get more screen for the same weight with the Pixel 2 XL. 

The smaller Pixel 2 weighs in at 143 grams, but it's not exactly a fair comparison considering its smaller 5-inch display compared to the iPhone X. 

While the overwhelming majority of people don't start out in their dream jobs, you can learn a lot while earning your first paycheck.

First jobs often take us out of our comfort zone, stretching us in ways we couldn't have anticipated and helping to shape our path forward. They can also teach us invaluable lessons about ourselves, how to work with different personalities and how to solve problems on the fly.

For example, Mary Barra started out as a quality inspector on the General Motors (GM) assembly line before going on to become the company's first female CEO, and she says her time on the line helped her really value the people who did that role for the company.

I asked eleven successful entrepreneurs about the lessons they learned while earning their first paycheck. 

SEE ALSO: 6 entrepreneurs share their biggest failures — and how they led to success

1. Appreciate the jobs that fulfill you emotionally.

"I got a minimum wage job in a windowless chemistry lab where I had to wear a full-body protection suit and clean glass beakers with acid. It was mind-numbingly boring. It was painful and low-pay. The most important thing I learned was an appreciation for any job that would be fulfilling emotionally. I really wanted a job that had direct positive impact on people's lives and without that, I couldn't be happy." — Ryan Carson, TreeHouse CEO and Founder

2. Make the most of limited resources.

"During high school, I spent my summers as a camp counselor taking a bunch of kids on canoe trips, some as long as 40 days. I learned a lot about teamwork and making the most of limited resources — only so much can fit into a backpack, and a lot can go wrong when you're out in the backwoods for weeks at a time. I also learned a lot about perseverance and hard work — there are no shortcuts on great journeys. 

"There are a surprising number of parallels between being a camp counselor and building your own business. The attributes that help you survive in the woods are the same attributes that will help you be successful as an entrepreneur." — Mike McDerment, FreshBooks CEO and Co-founder

3. Know your worth.

"My first job was a secretary position at a legal firm in downtown Los Angeles. The head secretary ended up quitting a couple weeks after I started so I was given a lot of responsibility, essentially managing an office of 12 lawyers. I learned how to use Outlook and Excel, how to work in a corporate environment and manage my time, how to be diplomatic and deal with tough clients.

"It also taught me my own worth, that I was capable of earning a real salary. As a young person (I was still in high school), I realized age didn't matter as much as work ethic and ability. Also, the firm had a female partner. She was a very talented lawyer and reminded me I could do anything I wanted." — Leila Janah, Samasource CEO and Founder

With Week 10 of the NFL season nearly in the books, it's time to gear up for another important waiver cycle.

We've reached the point where a steady stream of prominent players who missed extended time due to injuries earlier in the season are preparing to come back. Rex Burkhead and Charles Clay are among those who have returned in the last few weeks, while others, like Danny Woodhead and David Johnson, are on the mend and should be back at some point. Now more than ever, be sure to peruse the injury reports across the league when assessing the value of potential pickups.

Fantasy managers only have a few weeks left before the playoffs begin, but there's still time to mount a late charge. Below, read up on 10 players you should consider adding to your roster.

Austin Ekeler, RB

Team: Los Angeles Chargers

Week 10 stats: 42 rushing yards, 77 receiving yards, 5 receptions, 2 touchdowns

One thing to know: While 2016 Pro Bowler Melvin Gordon struggled, Ekeler enjoyed the biggest game of his career. The undrafted rookie outgained his fellow running back both on the ground and in the air, all while having to deal with the Jaguars' top-ranked pass defense. While his late fumble was enormously costly, allowing the Jaguars to force overtime and pull out the win, it shouldn't affect Ekeler's outlook going forward.

Rod Smith, RB

Team: Dallas Cowboys

Week 10 stats: 14 rushing yards, 15 receiving yards, 4 receptions

One thing to know: This Ohio State product didn't do a whole lot in his first action since Ezekiel Elliott began a six-game suspension, but neither did starter Alfred Morris, a popular fantasy pickup who got just 11 touches and wasn't targeted at all in the air. Expect Smith to play a bigger role in the Cowboys' Week 11 showdown against the Eagles.

Dontrelle Inman, WR

Team: Chicago Bears

Week 10 stats: 88 receiving yards, 6 receptions

One thing to know: Inman looked sharp in his first game as a Bear, hauling in six out of eight targets for his best game of the season. He should be a go-to weapon in the weeks ahead, so pick him up if you're willing to bet that Mitch Trubisky's career-best passing performance was a sign of things to come. Chicago's next opponent is the Lions, who nearly lost to the Browns on Sunday.

• A Crock Pot (or any slow cooker) can be an indispensable tool for Thanksgiving.
• We spoke with several cookbook authors and slow cooker experts for tips and trick on how to cook your entire Thanksgiving meal in a crock pot.
• For turkey, you'll want to separate the breast from the dark meat so it fits.
• You can even slow-cook Thanksgiving cocktails like mulled wine or cider in a Crock Pot.

No matter how much you prepare ahead of time, cooking for Thanksgiving usually turns into a stressful hassle. But there's one tool that can ease some of that holiday preparation-related worry: your slow cooker.

INSIDER spoke with several cookbook authors and slow cooker experts about their tips and tricks for cooking your entire Thanksgiving meal in a slow cooker. Turns out you actually can use your Crock Pot for practically every part of the traditional Thanksgiving meal, from soup to nuts (or from turkey to mulled wine).

We have rounded up tips for every part of your Thanksgiving preparation, from separating the turkey breast from the legs so that it can actually fit into the Crock Pot, to Thanksgiving-themed slow cooker pumpkin cheesecake. 

Separate the turkey breast from the legs and choose one to cook low and slow.

Unfortunately, your Crock Pot or slow cooker probably won't hold an entire turkey, but if you separate the breast from the legs, it can work. 

"If you have a 6 quart slow cooker or larger, you still probably won’t be able to fit a whole turkey in there, but you can fit a 3-4 pound turkey breast," Kendra Bailey Morris, author of "The Southern Slow Cooker,"told INSIDER. "The beauty of the slow cooker is that it is inherently self basting. Slow cookers create a very moist environment with the condensation from the cooking process often rising to the top of the slow cooker and then dripping back down onto the meat, which helps to keep things moist."

Her one very important tip? Make sure to inject some fat back into your turkey breast, since the meat is very lean. She suggests using an herbed butter. 

Place your favorite stuffing recipe into your slow cooker instead of the turkey carcass.

Stuffing is actually made for the Crock Pot and doesn't require much tweaking at all for your slow cooker.

"I would say use just about any stuffing recipe you like, just make sure it contains eggs and a liquid, like stock," Sarah DiGregorio, recipe developer and author of "Adventures in Slow Cooking: 120 Slow-Cooker Recipes for People Who Love Food," said. "Prepare it as you normally would, but instead of baking it or stuffing it into the turkey cavity, spoon it into your slow cooker. Cover and cook for about 4 hours on low. The top won't brown, but the sides and bottom will get nice and crisp and golden, while the center will stay pudding-like and moist."

The slow cooker version of cranberry sauce or relish is simple and makes your house smell great.

"Apple cranberry relish makes your house smell so good," Sheana Davis said. "Equal parts apples, cranberries, and apple and cranberry juice. Add sugar to taste, a bit of orange zest and cinnamon. The house will smell wonderful and the relish is delicious."

• Festive window displays are a classic New York tradition during the holiday season.
• The tradition is older than you might think — holiday windows date all the way back to the 1870s, according to Macy's.
• Today, people wait in line for hours to see some of New York's best holiday decorations.
• Keep reading for the history behind department store holiday windows in New York City.

From children sending letters to Santa Claus to selfie-taking snowmen, department store window displays are some of the most festive holiday decorations in all of New York City. 

Since the holiday season is one of the busiest times of the year to shop, starting with Black Friday, it's no surprise that New York City's department stores bring out all the stops for their seasonal window displays.  

Holiday windows that look more like art installations rather than store advertisements date all the way back to the 1870s with Macy's first window displays. Since then, the practice has evolved into a tradition that both tourists and locals love year after year.

Department store window displays are one of the most iconic holiday traditions in New York City.

While you can see holiday windows at virtually every department store in Manhattan today, the tradition dates back to the 1870s.

Macy's claims to be the first department store to implement holiday windows in New York City, thanks to the store's founder, R.H. Macy. He showcased Macy's first animated windows in 1899.

Former Vice President Joe Biden said on Monday that he is "not closing the door" on running for the Democratic ticket in the 2020 presidential election.

He certainly has reason to be optimistic — throughout his eventful life and political career, Biden has overcome enormous obstacles to get to where he is today.

Born in Scranton, Pennsylvania on November 20, 1942 to a used car salesman, Biden moved with his family to Mayfield, Delaware when he was 13 years old. From the get-go, he faced many trials growing up, including bullies and an embarrassing stutter.

As he says his father taught him, "The measure of a man is not how often he is knocked down, but how quickly he gets up."

Throughout his long political trajectory, Biden has lived by his father's advice, and gotten back up after facing countless tragedies and challenges to achieve his political dreams.

Here's how a kid from Scranton became a respected Senator, Vice President, and now possible 2020 presidential contender:

He met his first wife Neilia on a spring break trip in the Bahamas his junior year. The couple had had three children: Joseph "Beau" Hunter III, Robert Hunter, and Naomi Christina Hunter.

Fresh out of University of Syracuse law school in 1968, Biden started working as a defense attorney in Wilmington, Delaware, and launched his own law firm in 1971. He first entered politics as a member of the New Castle County Council in 1970.

Kids sometimes follow in their parents' footsteps. For these mother and daughter duos, that means stepping in front of the camera. 

Some roles consist of these moms and daughters playing relatives on-screen, like Demi Moore playing Rumer Willis' mom in "Striptease." But others have no relation at all, like Angelina Jolie and daughter Vivienne Jolie-Pitt in "Maleficent." 

Acting for these duos just runs in the family. 

Here are 17 mothers and daughters who have been on-screen together.

Leslie Mann and her two daughters, Maude and Iris Apatow, first appeared in husband/dad Judd Apatow's "Knocked Up."

Mann and her two daughters returned for "This Is 40," playing the same characters from "Knocked Up," and were also in "Funny People." 

Mann told the Hollywood Reporter that she feels"lucky" to work with her daughters, even if she has more to pay attention to.

"With Maude and Iris, I just feel lucky that I get to be with them all day, but it's also hard, because I'm mom and I'm also working," she said. "So if they're having problems or they hurt themselves or they're fighting with each other, I have to deal with that and put out that fire and I have to work, so it's like double the amount of work."

Meryl Streep and her eldest daughter Mamie Gummer portrayed mother and daughter in "Ricki and the Flash."

During "Ricki's" premiere, Gummer admitted to People that she was nervous during certain scenes because she didn't want to hurt her mom's feelings.

"There's this one scene where I really was quite eviscerating and I was worried about if my words actually wounded her, but after the first take, I looked over and she just had this big grin on her face, so that was a pleasant surprise," she said. 

Gummer made her onscreen debut as a toddler alongside her mother in "Heartburn," but she was credited as Natalie Stern to avoid the publicity.

Gummer played a younger version of her mother in the drama "Evening."

Vanessa Redgrave and daughter Natasha Richardson played mother and daughter in "Evening."

The two reunited onstage for a concert production of "A Little Night Music" shortly before Richardson's untimely death. They had been preparing to costar in a Broadway revival of the show.

Send your boss an email recapping what you've accomplished this week

National workplace expert Lynn Taylor previously told Business Insider that when you start a new job, you should ask your boss how often they'd like you to check in. But you should still err on the side of over-communicating, so they know exactly what you're working on and how much you've accomplished.

In fact, Eric Barker, author of "Barking Up the Wrong Tree," recommends that you send your boss an email every week that sums up what you've accomplished.

If your boss asks for feedback, give it to them — politely

Kim Scott, a former Google and Apple exec and the author of "Radical Candor," recommends that every manager ask their team for feedback on a regular basis. She told Business Insider it's so important to get an honest answer that managers should sit in silence for six seconds until their employee comes up with something.

If you want to make your boss' life easier, don't make them wait in silence. Think of an area where they can improve and offer some constructive criticism.

Be open about your professional ambitions with your boss

According to Toni Thompson, VP of people and talent at The Muse, one of the best ways to get ahead in your career is to "make sure that they [your boss] know what salary you want eventually and the title you want or more opportunities that you want."

This has obvious benefits for you — you probably won't get the promotion or compensation you'd like if your boss doesn't know you want it. But it also helps your boss, so they don't have to guess which roles or challenges you want to take on, and so they can build the best team possible.

• Target just opened its first "next-generation" store in Texas.

Target's new "next-generation" store has two separate entrances: one for time-starved shoppers who only need to pick up a few items, and the other for people who want to leisurely browse the store.

The store's quick-trip entrance gives customers easy access to grab-and-go food, a wine-and-beer shop, self-checkout lines, and a pickup counter for online orders.

The other entrance for leisurely shoppers features a mix of merchandise from the apparel and accessories, home, jewelry, and beauty departments.

• Tiffany & Co. sells expensive "Everyday Objects" on its website.
• The items include silver and gold versions of ice cream scoopers and protractors.
• Some of them cost upwards of $10,000.

The average Tiffany customer can afford to pay a premium for luxury. Perhaps this is why the company now has an "Everyday Objects" section on its website, where it sells silver and gold versions of "household" items, like balls of yarn and porcelain eggs, for thousands of dollars.

It might also be an attempt to build buzz among millennials and compensate for declining traffic in its stores, according to CNN.

The company said the collection was "born out of the notion that beautiful things should not be limited to special occasions," adding that the "covetable accessories possess a whimsical wink that is quintessentially Tiffany." (Or, in other words, they'll do well on social media.)

These are the craziest, least practical "everyday objects" you can currently buy on Tiffany's website.

America Recycles Day is on Wednesday, and the green holiday exists for good reason: Recycling helps keep rubbish off the roads, reduces the need for Earth-scarring metal-mining operations, and fuels industry jobs.

The practice also keeps planet-warming carbon dioxide out of the air. Every ton of recycled aluminum cans (about 625 of them), in fact, keeps 10 tons of CO2 out of the atmosphere, according to Popular Mechanics.

Recycling is no panacea, though. An ever better idea is to curb carbon emissions, though President Donald Trump has vowed to withdraw the US from the Paris climate accord.

That globally denounced decision came on the heels of the hottest year the world has seen since 1880 — when scientists started keeping global temperature logs — and the fifth annual heat record of the past dozen years. In 2016, planet Earth's temperature averaged 2.3 degrees Fahrenheit (1.26 degrees Celsius) above preindustrial averages, which is dangerously close to the 1.5-degree-Celsius limit set by international policymakers. 

"There's no stopping global warming," Gavin Schmidt, a climate scientist who is the director of NASA's Goddard Institute of Space Studies, previously told Business Insider. "Everything that's happened so far is baked into the system."

That means that even if carbon emissions were to drop to zero tomorrow, we'd still be watching human-driven climate change play out for centuries. And we all know emissions aren't going to stop immediately. The key thing now, Schmidt said, is to slow climate change down enough to allow us to adapt as painlessly as possible.

This is what the Earth could look like within 100 years if we succeed in curbing climate change.

"I think the 1.5-degree [2.7-degree F] target is out of reach as a long-term goal," Schmidt said. He estimated that we will blow past that by about 2030.

But Schmidt is more optimistic about keeping temperatures from rising more than 3.6 degrees F, or 2 degrees C. That's the increase the UN hopes to avoid.

Let's assume that we land somewhere between those two targets. At the end of this century, we'd be looking at a world that is on average about 3 degrees Fahrenheit above where we are now.

• Some houseplants are known to help purify the air. 
  
• A horticulturist told us that keeping a plant is also linked with therapeutic benefits. 
• There are plenty of low-maintenance plants you can keep that could fit your lifestyle. 

Eating plants isn't the only way to reap their benefits. Science has shown that keeping a simple houseplant can do wonders for your health.

Horticulturist Marc Hachadourian, the director of the Nolen Greenhouses at the New York Botanical Garden, told us that plants benefit both your physical and mental state. 

"There is actually a lot of scientific evidence that adding plants to any workspace or living environment actually does help to reduce stress," Hachadourian said. "There are obviously therapeutic effects of caring for plants and gardening has been shown to decrease blood pressure and reduce stress, so the benefits go beyond [...] helping to clean the air and add oxygen." 

Certain plants have been found to specifically clean the air of toxic chemicals like benzene, formaldehyde, and ammonia, according to a clean air report from NASA. Hachadourian noted that although this data exists, whether you can use plants to filter your air totally has yet to be seen. 

"There is some benefit," Hachadourian said. "I think the debate now is how much of that occurs and whether it is enough to make a significant difference in the overall health and quality of the environment you live in." 

Although the air-purifying benefits may not necessarily be extremely significant, Hachadourian has found that the other benefits of nature are. He mentioned forest bathing, the tradition of being in the presence of nature and trees, and it even became part of Japan's national public health program in 1982, according to The Atlantic. It's documented health benefits include lower blood pressure and lower stress hormones. 

Of course, not everyone has the ability to forest bathe. But, if you're convinced you need more greenery in your life, Hachadourian recommended getting a houseplant that fits your environment and lifestyle. That way, you can reap all the benefits while actually keeping your plant alive.

Here are some of the most popular houseplants that are especially good for your air — and how to care for them. 

1. Golden pothos

Although this plant isn't great at removing formaldehyde, it does remove other chemicals like benzene and trichloromethyl from the air, according to the NASA clean air report. Benzene is in glue, paint, and detergent.

Golden pothos are also especially hard to kill, according to Rodale's Organic Life, making it a great starter plant for horticulture newbies. 

How it grows best: This plant tolerates low-light conditions and irregular watering, according to The Spruce. 

2. Peace lilies

This plant removes benzene, formaldehyde, and other chemicals emitted from harsh cleaning products, according to Rodale's Organic Life. Bonus: it's one of the few plants that can actually bloom indoors. 

How it grows best: Place your Peace lily in indirect light near a window, Southern Living reports. Water it only when the soil is dry, and be careful not to over-water. 

3. Garden mums

Garden mums are inexpensive and remove ammonia, benzene, formaldehyde, and xylene from the air, Greatist reports. 

How it grows best: Garden mums require bright, filtered light near a window, SF Gate reports. Water them when the soil is dry to the touch, but the plant is not wilted.
