Thumbs down Re: We need a trillion more indoor plants.

From a company that sells "air purifiers"

Dust (your sofas and beds are a good breeding ground), pollen from indoor plants , flying fibers from carpets, soot from the kitchen, airborne mould and bacterial particles on paintings, curtains and cabinets, various odors from insect repellants, glass cleaner liquids and deodorants – all these envelop us at home and office completely.

Except to have pollen plants have to flower, and even then, not all produce air born pollen.
On the whole, most indoor plants DO NOT produce pollen!

Some more--plants will kill you--annoying Bull Shite

* Health & Safety Issue: Indoor plants though beautiful can prove fatal in some cases as some species are deadly poisonous and intake of such plant leaves or flowers may lead to death e.g. philodendron and some species of ivy are poisonous.

There are certain plant types that are deadly for cats and there are others that are dangerous for well being of dogs. Bird of Paradise, Pencil Cactus, Peace Lilly, Geranium, Iris Ivy, Lily of the Valley (Lilies are usually hazardous to cats’ health) and Tulips are examples of plants that a cat lover should never think to plant in his home.

Alumroot, American rubber plant, Anthericum comosum, Antirrhinum multiflorum, Mexican firecracker, Mexican snowballs, Mexican rosettes, Minature maranta, Minature marble plant are fine examples of plants that are non-toxic in nature.

some originality in this blog, some of it a bit speculative.

The experiments conducted to test the absorption capacity of indoor plants have yielded excellent results. Employees Plants are also known to have de-stressing effects on the mind. The green color (sic) that the plants possess relaxes the mind. Placing plants in offices have resulted in the rise in productivity of employees. According to the studies conducted, the offices having enough plants in the premises have witnessed drop in absenteeism and enhancement in the creativity of employees
