It is recommended to place 1-2 pots in the study room, combined with 2 hours of light per day to enhance the antibacterial effect. Night oxygen bar: The unique sedum acid metabolism of cactus desert plants allows them to release oxygen at night.

It is recommended to allocate 2-3 plants with complementary characteristics in each functional area and rotate the placement regularly to achieve the best results.
