Neo P1 is equivalent to 30 traditional indoor plants in terms of air purification. such a plant It can hold formaldehyde, benzene, toluene and xyleneturning them into harmless substances.

what is known

Genes inserted into Neo P1’s DNA cause it to produce enzymes that convert harmful compounds into safe substances that are then used by the plant itself. Formaldehyde turns into fructose, benzene, toluene and xylene amino acids.

Neo P1 Comes with its own soil containing biochar, similar to wood material. It is produced by heating biomass in an oxygen-free environment. Biochar acts as a home for beneficial microorganisms added to the soil once a month in the form of supplements known as Power Drops. While these microbes take the nutrients necessary for life from the plant, they also increase the efficiency of air purification. also captures volatile organic compounds, as air enters the soil through the slots in the pot. The air purification ratio between plant and soil varies with plant size and approaches 1:1 when the Neo P1 reaches maturity.

Easy but expensive

Neo P1 does not require special maintenance. Simply add Power Drops and water once a month. Thanks to the reservoir in the pot, irrigation should be done once a month in winter and once every two weeks in summer.

With all the advantages, the plant will cost a significant amount. Neo P1 scheduled to be sold $179 per facility. For this price you can buy an electric air purifier that doesn’t need sunlight, water or germs.

Lionel Mora, CEO of Neoplants, explains: Air purifiers are great at capturing particulate matter such as smoke from fires, but volatile organic compounds are much more difficult to capture, which also cause serious health problems. Most cleaners won’t cope with it. The facility serves many purposes that air purifiers can’t, plus it doesn’t need electricity, makes no noise, and works 24/7.
