Do preserved plants produce oxygen?

We all learnt the principles of photosynthesis at school, by means of which green plants purify the air by turning the CO2 in the air into oxygen. When commissioning preserved plant walls, you and your customers may well wonder whether this principle also applies to preserved vegetation? This article explains it all.

The benefits of oxygen produced by living plants: a matter of scale.

NASA discovered the air-purifying benefits of plants in the late 1980s. The larger the plant and the more leaves it has, the better. Indeed, the purification of the air is influenced by the surface area of the leaves present. But how many plants do we really need to clean the air? We breathe in about 550 litres of pure oxygen per day, whereas an average-sized plant produces about 100 millilitres per day. This is 5500 times less than our daily needs. The impact of a few plants in a house is therefore minimal. 

Preserved plants: oxygen or no oxygen?

No, preserved plants do not produce oxygen. And yes, these plants are dead. They have ceased to live and thus to breathe. To learn more about the stabilisation process, click here. But the benefits are anything but minimal. Embellishing an interior with plants improves the physical and mental well-being of the inhabitants and reduces their stress through the connection to nature. This is what we call biophilic design. Companies are increasingly adopting it in their offices, and we explain why hereIt works with both living and preserved plants.

Integrating preserved plants into your customers’ interior design is as beneficial for their health and well-being as it is for their wallet, as they can keep their plants for several years without maintenance.
