A Popular Benefit of Houseplants Is a Myth
============================

"... Recently, Waring and his colleagues reanalyzed all 195 studies that have examined whether houseplants can filter the air. They found that some types of plants can remove higher amounts of VOCs than others. But once you factor in the effects of working in a large room, none of the plants are able to do much.

Waring told me to imagine a small office, 10 feet by 10 feet by eight feet. “You would have to put 1,000 plants in that office to have the same air-cleaning capacity of just changing over the air once per hour, which is the typical air-exchange rate in an office ventilation system,” he said. That’s 10 plants per square foot of floor space. Even if you chose the most effective type of VOC-filtering plant, you would still need one plant per square foot, Waring said..."

An old post. Not sure how on earth this plant can suddenly become viral.

Yes, it can clean the air to a certain degree (many plants do that, actually).

However, I'm surprised that some people would overclaim that it can replace the function of an air purifier.

It can't 😅

❗Are you a fan of plastic / artificial plants?

Do you know that real plants can help improve the quality of the air that you breathe?

Look at the picture below for the type of chemicals that each plant tackle in your home.

And office, too.

✿ Y O U R D R E A M G A R D E N ✿

Whether you realize it or not, you create your dream garden by selecting plants based on:
☑ Type (trees / palms / shrubs / ground covers)
☑ Size (large, medium, or small)
☑ Form / shape (e.g. round, conical, spreading, columnar, etc.)
☑ Colour of their foliage or flowers
☑ Texture (how coarse or fine the surface or individual leaves of the plant look or feel)

Having a variety of these makes your garden design interesting.

❗On the flipside, choosing plants of similar characters will cause the garden to appear monotonous and boring.

However, to maintain a beautiful garden, your selection should also consider:
☑ Their purpose / function in your garden (e.g. act as hedge, to provide shade, to be edible, for aesthetic value, etc.)
☑ Do they prefer full or partial sun
☑ The amount of water they need
☑ Are they hardy or fragile
☑ How fast do they grow (this will determine how much pruning work required)
☑ Do they require any special care

>> Now, go around your garden and see how much you know about each plant.

Hope it helps,
Aleda
