Ask HN: What's a good plant for my desk/office?
There's a lot of inspiration on [1] r/battlestations, but I'm not sure what to look for in an office plant.
All I know is that it's meant to be calming and good for the air quality in the room.
Thoughts?

- arkitaip 8y agoNASA actually studied the connection between plants and air quality. Many of the plants (approx. 1 plant per 100 ft^2) are fairly easy to keep alive: * https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NASA_Clean_Air_Study https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NASA_Clean_Air_Study * https://www.lovethegarden.com/community/fun-facts/nasa-guide-air-filtering-houseplants https://www.lovethegarden.com/community/fun-facts/nasa-guide...
