A Paris-based startup has created a genetically engineered houseplant that can literally clean the air within your home. The plant builds off the natural purifying properties that houseplants already offer. So, while it adds some color to whatever room you put it in, itâs also actively keeping the air cleaner than 30 air purifiers.
The company, called Neoplants, modified both a pothos plant as well as its root microbiome to pump the plantâs natural air-cleaning properties up quite a bit. Called Neo P1, the genetically engineered houseplant recently hit the market, and you can purchase it right now.
