<p>The three plants he references in the video are:</p>
<ul>
<li>Areca Palm (<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Areca_palm"><em>Chrysalidocarpus lutescens</em></a>)</li>
<li>Mother-in-Law&#8217;s Tongue or Snake Plant (<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sansevieria_trifasciata"><em>Sansevieria trifasciata</em></a>)</li>
<li>Money Plant (<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Epipremnum_aureum"><em>Epipremnum aureum</em></a>)</li>
</ul>
<p>For a more exhaustive list of air-filtering soil and plants check out <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_air-filtering_soil_and_plants">this Wikipedia entry</a>. The list was compiled by NASA as part of the NASA Clean Air Study, which researched ways to clean air in space stations.</p>
