> To reduce VOCs enough to impact air quality would require around 10 plants per square foot. In a small 500-square foot apartment, that’s 5,000 plants.[0]

I just like plants in general... vertical walls in specific though I have yet to build my own (built the ones with architects in Salesforce office around the country)
but now I am craving more plants!! (and moss) ((and fungi)) (((planning on composting all these leaves with seeded fungi spores, just need to find the spores)))
They are pretty though and if you have the time and the room for them they definitely are worth having but $ for $ if your goal is clean air technology is far more efficient.
Second, I wasn't giving "advice" per se
I just think that the world is a better place with more plants ( I was just commenting about Singapore's setbacks with respect to how green a super dense city can be )
but What I am stating is that no house is complete without a healthy level of plants... (its the same as that adage; don't ever listen to a person who doesnt have any books in their home)
So dont like a home where there are no plants!
EDIT: Oh I forgot to mention, the ancient Mayan Saying "Humanity will die once the last tree is cut down"
LOTS AND LOTS OF PLANTS
One of the best filters out there is a spikey plant that you wouldnt think of as "pretty" but it is super helpful

While is #10 on this list, its still SUPER good at filtering... I Personally like LOTS of Pothos and Spider plants....
