Good to know

When we were little, we were taught that you should never keep a green plant in a room, or you would be "suffocated" during the night.

Indeed, the chlorophyll function being reversed at night, the plant "pumps" oxygen and releases toxic products such as carbon monoxide.

However, if this respiratory function remains confirmed for certain plants, rejections are negligible compared to the amount of oxygen released during the day.

These 6 plants we have just discussed all have properties that go beyond this established concept and clean up much more than they pollute.

If you want to enjoy 100% of their benefits without these little inconveniences, you can always take them out of your room at night.
