The scientist at NASA said that for the average size house (about 1300 sq ft) you would need 10 to 15 plants. This is the guy who did the research. I figure he knows his stuff. Maybe the back-to-nature, blah, blah groups own some houseplant nurseries? :-) I know my apartment is free of harmful gases. I think I have about 50 plants in my one bedroom apartment. They're slowly taking over. Some morning I'm going to find my husband strangled by a pothos or something.
