QuestionWhat plants are the best for producing oxygen, in an office
and purify the air?
AnswerHi Marlene,
All plants have some capacity to absorb and eliminate various air pollutants and produce oxygen. However, the particular plant species is less important than the size (total leaf surface area), health, and growth rate of the plant. In other words, a large plant with lots of leaf surface that is growing vigorously is your best bet, regardless of the species.
I know there are various reports about certain plants being better than others, but it is always better to select a plant that is best suited for your environment, especially the available light. That way it will remain healthy and more effective as an air cleaner and oxygen producer.
Please let me know if any of this is unclear or if you have any additional questions.
