You’re technically right about the “lots and lots” part, though I suspect you don’t understand how much “lots and lots” actually is:

> 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]

Potted plants do not improve indoor air quality: a review and analysis of reported VOC removal efficiencies[1]

huh. thanks for that info.

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)))
