@PeaceUdo They do, but in varying amounts.

I thought all plants take CO2 and turn it into O2?
-
@AnnNoire These plants are zone 12 if you wish to grow them outdoors. Any zone will work if you grow them indoors and keep the temperature 50 or above.
-
Can they grow well in Zone 9a, which is sub-tropical?
-
*runs and buys those plants* Thank you!

@eljay2121 It's not bad at all... I have a 3,000 sq ft home, and have 1 plant per 100 square feet. Yea 30 plants, so what I enjoy it. Just cuz it's not for you doesn't mean it's bad....

@eljay2121 its in delhi, very limited space, very high pollution. in the UK the plants would have to be wiped alot less/not at all, as no layers of grime will build up on them.
in delhi, not alot of people are going to be able to afford machines either. and if you live a year longer because of having a jungle, isit not worth giving up a few meters of space?

Why does TED try to make me deaf at the end of every video.
