    Hey Guys,
    I recently saw a documentary about Environment issues etc and one of the ''Office Solutions'' was to place a moderate/large size plant in the office to recycle Co2 to Oxygen. I love that idea, It is great . . . but . . . I was just wondering .... Is it really worth it ? Mainly the question im getting to is, What is the rate at which plants convert Co2 to Oxygen ???


    Barry.

    Isn't there also something about not having them in bedrooms at night for some reason or another?

    Plants produce CO2 at night so its best not to have them in the bedroom. I'm not sure how much air they purify during the day though.

    Surely they purify more O2 during the day then they use at night.... otherwise we'd all be done for!

    A reason to kick out the spouse there as well. :D

    Houseplants aren't always nett producers of oxygen. If a plant isn't properly maintained or if the light conditions aren't correct for the plant, then it can actually consume a lot more oxygen through respiration than it can produce. Plants in offices in particular are often nett consumers of oxygen due to poor maintenance and poor natural light. But still, plants look nice and make the working environment more pleasant in other ways.
