Is it safe to have plants in the bedroom, don't they use up oxygen at night?
- ses1984 7y agoWhere did hear it's not safe to have plants in a bedroom?
- dsego 7y agoNot sure, I vaguely remember hearing or reading about it.
- txcwpalpha 7y agoIt's a common Feng Shui belief that plants in the bedroom are bad, which is probably reinforced a bit by the recent uptick in worrying about sleep CO2 levels. If you do a quick Google, you'll find a decent amount of Quora answers and blog posts asking about if it's safe or not, so it seems to be a not-entirely-unheard-of concern.
- CPLX 7y agoI think you’ve got that backwards.
- txcwpalpha 7y agoHe doesn't. Plants use up oxygen and release CO2 at night. They only do the opposite during photosynthesis, in the presence of sunlight.

- dsego 7y agoThat's photosynthesis, not respiration.
