🧐 How Many Plants Do You Need for Air Purification?
NASA suggests placing at least 1 plant per 100 square feet for noticeable air-purifying effects. For a standard home, this means:
- Small room (100 sq. ft.) → 1-2 plants
- Medium room (200-300 sq. ft.) → 3-4 plants
- Large room (500+ sq. ft.) → 5-8 plants
For the best results, mix different types of plants to target a variety of toxins and maximize oxygen production.
