-- A U.S.-based online plant store owner and longtime plant hobbyist is gaining attention for a simple DIY experiment that combines indoor plants, airflow, and everyday materials to explore how thoughtful houseplant setups can support a fresher, more comfortable living space.
Rather than purchasing a traditional air filter, the plant hobbyist documented a hands-on approach using common indoor air purifying plants, gentle airflow from a low-voltage fan, and activated bamboo charcoal. The experiment is featured in a newly released video that walks viewers through the process step by step using accessible DIY tools for indoor plants.
The project was inspired by early NASA research that examined how certain air-purifying plants and growing media interact with airborne compounds in controlled laboratory environments. While real homes differ significantly from lab conditions, the experiment emphasizes plant placement, air circulation, and environmental design curiosity rather than making claims about air filtration, chemical removal, or medical benefits.
In the video, the creator demonstrates how airflow across plant roots and leaves, thoughtful pot design, and materials such as activated charcoal can be combined into a simple setup that anyone can safely try at home. The approach highlights affordability, experimentation, and awareness of how indoor plant environments are designed and experienced.
In addition to airflow and plant placement, the experiment also explores a small humidity-capture concept. Using basic condensation principles, the setup demonstrates how moisture from ambient air can be collected and redirected back into the growing container. This portion of the project focuses on observation and sustainable design thinking rather than replacing traditional watering practices.
The setup features several indoor houseplants frequently referenced in indoor air quality discussions, including Golden Pothos, Snake Plant, Peace Lily, Spider Plant, and Philodendron. These plants were selected for their durability, ease of care, and suitability for everyday homes and apartments.
“This wasn’t about replacing air filtration systems or making scientific claims,” the creator explains in the video. “It was about curiosity—experimenting with plants, airflow, humidity, and materials in a real home environment and sharing that process with others.”
The creator also operates Plants and Roses Inc., a U.S.-based online plant store that sources indoor plants from trusted local growers. Experience running a plant business led to exploring how plants behave in real homes and how simple design choices can influence indoor living spaces.
