This Supercharged Houseplant Cleans Air

NeoPlants revolutionizes air purification with the Neo Px system, enhancing the air-cleansing capabilities of a common Marble Queen Pothos plant by 30 times the normal rate.

Traditional houseplants offer limited air purification benefits, prompting biotech startup NeoPlants to unveil a groundbreaking solution. The Neo Px system utilizes bioengineering and microbiome science, akin to the processes in our digestive systems, to rapidly capture and eliminate volatile organic compounds (VOCs).

These compounds, found in everyday household items, include benzene, toluene, and xylene, notorious for their health risks.

In collaboration with IMT University, NeoPlants conducted peer-reviewed studies validating the efficacy of their innovation. The system, powered by a proprietary powder drop solution, seamlessly integrates into household plants, requiring minimal maintenance.

CEO Lionel Mora and co-founder Patrick Torbey envision broader applications for their technology, hinting at its potential to address global atmospheric pollution and health issues exacerbated by climate change.

While NeoPlants acknowledges that their system complements, rather than replaces, traditional air purifiers, it offers a silent, eco-friendly alternative. Available for $119, the Neo Px system includes six months of power drops, with refill drops priced at $39 every three months.

NeoPlants’ pioneering approach marks a significant step towards cleaner indoor environments and a healthier future.
