JML and JMSM Pot a Plant

  • Category:

JML and JMSM conducted a Pot a Plant program where plants were repotted and distributed among staff members to allow for a greener office. Among the plants were succulents, cactuses and herbs of different varieties.Succulents are highly efficient carbon dioxide absorbers and are quite beneficial when it comes to removing toxins and cleansing the air. A study conducted by NASA confirmed that succulents could get rid of more than 87% of the VOCs in the environment. These plants emit water vapor and, in turn, create a pumping action that helps pull the toxins to their roots. The succulents convert these toxins to plant food, thereby purifying the air and lowering the VOCs level in the atmosphere. Therefore, by having succulents and other plants in the office, the air would be cleaner and more safe for the staff members to inhale.
