I read somewhere that indoor plants won’t really make a difference since air flows in and out without any problems. By that I mean there won’t necessarily be more oxygen indoors if you have these indoor plans. However, being a plant lover myself, just knowing that I’m helping reduce CO2 in the atmosphere is well worth it. I’ll look for these plants and place them by the window. I won’t necessarily follow the prescribed ratios since they won’t fit in my room.

However I see two big problems:
1. How do you take care of 6000 plants? Watering is one thing, it could maybe even be done automatically or maybe twice a week.
Cleaning the leaves is the next thing. If it takes 4 minutes per plant, one worker will be occupied for 16.6 days – walking time between plants and breaks not included.
And then they have to be cut back, cleaned, repotted..

2. What about light needs? Energy savings are great. However, plants need light to grow. You could plaster all windows but then you need artificial light inside, esp. for workplaces. Or you place the plants further back in the room, then you maybe need artificial light for each plant. I wonder if this still saves energy then, and which solution is better- plants at the window or back in the room.

At least plants look nice and cheer you up. That alone is worth most of it I think.

It says:

“The soil used should be of vermi manure or use hydroponics”
“Best grown using hydroponics”

Why? What would be the advantage of vermi manure or hydroponics over ordinary soil?

We need this kind of fresh air action in Detroit.
Of course, a neighbor may steal it
