Top Plants for Clean Indoor Air
Spacing
It is suggested that one plant should be allowed for about 10 square yards (or meters) of floor space, assuming average ceiling heights of 8-9 feet (up to 3 meters). This means that you need two or three plants to contribute to good air quality in the average domestic living room of about 20 to 25 square yards (20-25 square meters).
