How many plants do I need to purify the air?

Although it is difficult to say exactly how many plants are needed to purify indoor air, It is recommended you have two medium or large-sized plants for every 100 square feet (approximately 9.3 square meters) of indoor space. The bigger the plant and leafier the plant, the better at improving your air quality.  

Can indoor plants improve air quality?

Studies from NASA prove that plant-filled rooms contain 50 to 60 percent fewer airborne molds and bacterias than rooms without plants. And a cleaner environment is just the start. According to NBC news, “indoor plants improve concentration and productivity, reduce stress levels and boost your mood.”
