How Many Plants Do You Need?
NASA recommends using 15 to 18 of these air-purifying plants in a 500-square-meter home. That’s roughly 3 to 4 plants for every 80 square meters. For optimal benefits, place at least one plant in your bedroom — clean air while you sleep can significantly improve your overall well-being.
By incorporating these plants into your living space, you can enjoy fresher, cleaner air and create a healthier indoor environment for you and your family.
