How Many Plants Do You Need To Breathe?

- In this video I explore how many plants it would require to produce enough oxygen for you to live in an enclosed environment. This explores what it would take to produce oxygen in an underwater lab, or even a space colony. I first find out how much oxygen we need per day, then how much oxygen plants produce per day. This is a pretty interesting thought with a few twists.

Me with two tiny plants in my room: *breathing fine*
Him: they use oxygen at night
Me: *starts finding it hard to breathe*
lol! Its a minute amount no worries!
The power of our brain
Honestly, I watch your videos because of your funny and charismatic personality! You could probably go through your trash and I'd still be entertained lol
lmao! thanks for such kind words! ill try to keep the videos more entertaining than that!
Same! I love him.
Haha! Cute comment =)

I was always skeptical of the actual benefit of air quality difference and oxygen production when it came to a small scale like just having a few houseplants. Great video ☺️
I think the happiness factor is way more beneficial!
This was the most helpful video I have found on RUclips to actually prove the amount of plants needed in a scientific method approach to the oxygen benefits of plants.
Glad you liked it! I was tired of seeing all the memes on facebook so i wanted to look into it!
"Ayyy this video is really helpful!" haha for real, enjoyed this! Keep it up!
Thank you!
Yes! I love the science behind plants! You should look into the plants that supposedly filter out toxins. I heard this is true but I've also heard it's not true. Also would love a video about photosynthesis!
ive been seing a lot about toxins too but most of the focus is on snake plants. Ill do some more research and maybe make a video
This is a great niche channel. You get straight to the point with the science but you're also quirky and charismatic. Hope you keep making videos dude.
LOVED this Video! One of your Best! You gave the "full circle" of plants giving AND using oxygen, when we always only hear about them giving. Very Interesting, Thanks!
You seem like you were in a rush! Haha! Great video. You should do more videos like this and ones where you go outside.
Just filmed another outdoor excursion, should be up in a week or so
It is amazing to think about how many times I have asked this question " How many plants do I need to keep me alive with oxygen"
Never found the answer until now.
Thank you.
I love this video! great idea. Also i love your hair cut!!!
Thanks for the compliment, I cut my own hair so sometimes it comes out not so good lol.
good research pal...thanks for simplified calculation...loved this video
Glad you enjoyed it! thanks for watching
Yoooo brooo I wanted to know this info and now thanks to u I do, keep going brooo
glad you enjoyed it!
Bro ur doing amazing job by telling human beings that plants and trees are our best friends that we don't want lose , plz upload more videos like this❤️❤️❤️
Aye this video was really helpful and it helped me out.
This was very cool and interesting, food for thought kinda video.
Thanks for watching!
I just love how your mind works - I´m fascinated by your beautiful mind! Keep it up! :)
Thank you! and thanks for watching!
@@TechplantChannel bro you're mis informed,there are many indoors plants that produce Oxygen both at day and night, like Money plant, Aloe Vera, Snake plant, thank me later👌👌👌
I always wondered about it all the time.
Thanks for watching!
it helped on my project thanks
Awesome, glad it was helpful!
Thank you so much for this video!!!
You are so welcome!
great breakdown
Thanks!
Hey, what are your goals with all these plants? Are you simply obsessed? What's the plan? I think I may speak for a lot of you followers by saying we'd love to hear a bit more about your personal motivations and goals with everything that you are doing from your room.
I personally enjoy your vids because they are different compared to the plant content I see on the platform and also because you go deeply into certain topics I didn't even know I had an interest for! Thanks for all your efforts (and timelapse work, not to be missed because it's simply so lovely). Best from the UK x
Pretty neat
thank you for this video
Thank you for watching
cool video always knew that air filter stuff was bullshit
I gotta do more research on the filtering part, but as far as oxygen production most peoples collections aren't doing much. I think yours would be doing pretty good, and if you have algae growing in your fish tanks, Ive "heard" algae does a lot
Also, can plants do photosynthesis continuously or does that reduce their life span if they do so?
and also loved this video and it really was informative.
Yup, I was curious about this my self so i did some research
Could a small lit room filled with algae in a circulation system be able to handle keeping air breathable?
I'd like to see you use ideal plants for the hypothetical, like the ones they used in space that are extremely efficient at oxygen production and carbon sequestration
Perfect
Excellent breakdown. Loving the math figures on screen (passed on to my son for science extracurricular). Keep up the good work. 👍
Awesome! Thank you!
You just made me consider getting rid of all my plants. I have about 20 plants in my bedroom plus 5 snake plants.
Keep them!
I like this video, you explained things very well
Thanks!
valuable info
Thanks for watching
Lol also I like your thumbnail for the video 😆
I tried to really hit all the checkmarks for a viral video, it didnt work lol
Thanks for your share
I love the intro 😍
lol Thanks for watching!
Nice work bro
Thanks 🔥
nice video.
but now i am question my self.
if possible get oxygen from water. how covert water in oxygen. and how many gallon of water will need a person need to survive, a week.
Thanks. Nice job. As a follow up, I'd love to see you get into actual measurements of the air in a test environment. Testing anything from Oxygen levels, C02, toxins, etc... Some plants release their oxygen at night I've heard, and many plants filter out toxins etc... So, it would be interesting to see if we all could learn of particular benefits that could perhaps come from a certain combination or amount of plants etc. The actual testing with qualified equipment is really needed. Most of what we can find on the internet is simply regurgitated information from old, and i've gotten the impression/opinion there's still a great deal that could be learned by actually doing your own studies.
I was just curious and searched for this
I read somewhere that basically it's 4 small trees per person. 4 small trees (big enough to fit in a room but not so big they break through the ceiling) or one large tree (but large trees don't fit inside your home, hence 4 small trees). And, yes, that's assuming they have a good source of light. You can get a carbon dioxide (not carbon monoxide, that's something different entirely) for about $50 on Amazon. While that doesn't measure O2, it does measure CO2, which since it's a matter of plants and people using one to create the other, we can get a general idea of how much O2 a plant is emitting by how much they are able to reduce the CO2.
How long does it take for 444 leaves to produce 1L of oxygen? What it implied that it's 1h somewhere and i missed it??
I love your video
Thank you
Wow no dislikes good job
Well over 160 plants, but still need to buy more :)
its a sickness, but i love it
So I have a question. Does that mean plants produce more oxygen than they consume correct? And in theory, with humans and animals being the majority consumer of oxygen, as human population grows, could humanity usage of oxygen eventually outpace plants ability to produce oxygen?
yeah plants produce a lot more than they consume, Im not sure we would ever hit a point where we outpace plants unless we like clear cut the entire planet and all the algae dies off. I think algae is responsible for the most oxygen produced
I know some plants take up very little and others go nuts for co2.
Your plant you mentioned is a low co2 plant soo you would need 250 to 300 plants with the 75 leafs for the effect you mentioned 😉.
Was the net gain mentioned?
im not sure exactly what you mean by that. but unless you have a metric ton of plants and a very sealed house without furniture and items that leach toxic stuff into the air and a ton of light so the plants work at max efficiency the only real gain you get is the joy of owning plants. Which in my opinion, plants make my life more enjoyable regardless of they clean my air or not
You're awesome
you are awesome for watching!
My question is what is the same equaition for a burning candle. Could one supplement CO2 by simply burning a few candles?
not sure, i think breathing in the room doing jumping jacks might be a good supplement lol
Not all plant types produce the same level of oxygen. How do you accurately measure the total amount of oxygen that is actually produced by all your plants?
So I got this house plant thinking...im about to get some good oxygen and be on my healthy journey...until I watched this video. I think I'm gonna give it away now.
NO, dont give it away! this video was not meant to discourage people from owning plants. I just wanted to clear up some myths! Plants do a lot for happiness and peace of mind!
@@TechplantChannel Luckily I have a busy life and haven't had time to do so. It does look nice on my table, ill keep it. Thx for the input.
Hey if Summer Rayne wakes up every morning in her bedroom, then the rest will be fine too I think. LOL. People are so dramatic " I'm not keeping plants in my room because of oxygen"...., as they inhale formaldehyde coming from their furniture, flooring and ashtray beside by their beds.😂 I'll stick with plants! Love your videos man & how your mind works! Keep up the good work brother!!
Thanks! yeah im surprised but some of the myths out there that a plant can eat up all the oxygen in the room and kill ppl lol
wow... thanks for sharing this information... we humans need to stop polluting this beautiful earth as much as we can without making our lives uncomfortable...
your videos help me to proof people wrong. ;)
lol my math might not be perfect but its pretty close to show you that you need a tremendous amount of plants and most importantly 24/7 photosynthesis or like double the plants to keep things going through the night
so remember boys, don´t sleep in your green house, or your plants will kill you
Doomsday Machiene That happens to be where Audrey II sleeps.
Cool videos how do you not get more views
im still trying to figure that out lol Im not super greedy for them. but it would be cool to earn money from youtube so i could buy more plant stuff!
now im paranoid my plants will strangle me at night.
so if ur plant never gets direct sunlight it never makes oxygen?
In direct light works too
I hope the world never has to turn to sealed off oxygen sources, but at this rate I wouldn’t be surprised.
Even plants in aquariums actually take in oxygen other than carbon dioxide.
make a vid using multiple barrels of algae
I have this odd fantasy of a underground bunker with a giant room of Forrest with led ceiling running 24/7 to provide oxygen for an entire underground bunker. I’m still not sure if it would work I want someone to actually test a giant air tight room with lots of plants and read the air to see what happens. How cool if the world comes to end from chemical warfare but you could just lock yourself in a air tight room with some plants and be good lol
seem people just ignoring the quantity of every scientific facts. Like xx is benifcial for yy but no one ask how much do we need to get there.
Nice video, thanks!
Snake plants produce oxygen at night and here is I found good explanation from someone on quora: by Laurel Ann - "Most plants largely uptake Carbon dioxide (CO2)and release oxygen during the day (photosynthesis) and uptake oxygen and release CO2 during the night (respiration).
Snake Plants can uptake CO(2) during the night as well because of their ability to perform a type of photosynthesis called Crassulacean Acid Metabolism (CAM).
There are 2 pathways in photosynthesis.
Light reactions where O2 is released by splitting H2O."
Dark reaction (Calvin Cycle) is when CO2 is used to make sugars. The energy to drive these reactions come from sunlight. CO2 is absorbed via stomata, and O2 is released by the same stomata. In CAM photosynthesis the plant opens the stomata at night to minimize water loss. CO2 is acquired at this time, and stored in vacuoles as malate.
That’s a lot of plants we need...😢
-
Does this mean I should buy more?🥲
-
So this justifies buying this much?🙂
-
So I now I can have a full house of plants!😁
of course lol
yo if all 12000 plants take in oxygen at night, are you gonna die? lol
What if I were in space?
Some plants give out oxygen night and day. Aloe Vera and Snake Plants for example
Nice ill have to look into them!
Thank you man. Really cool video. I will remove all plants from my bedroom.
you dont have to remove them from your bedroom! they can stay! I was just trying to do some myth busting. All your plants are totally safe in the bedroom!
Sources??
i think the Urls are in teh screenshots
@@TechplantChannel Is it possible if you can add the links to the description?
You could be WAY more efficient if you used algae instead of typical house plants.
DANG, this is why i love the comment section, its gems like this. Ill look into that because they produce a crap ton of oxygen!
Hemp...
I want to see a video where you try this but give yourself 180 plants to have a buffer.
im too afraid of croaking
I was under the impression that plant inhale CO2 and exhale O2. ? ? ? ? yes , more research please .
Interesting. Well how can I get oxygen in my house when I sleep dammit!
It's VERY eco'd out and sealed. No windows
I guess growlights so they keep photosynthesizing
If imma live like that, I’ll rather have more than 160 plants to be honest; let’s say 200 to be safe and an air collect type of tank.. For just in case moments
oh man! this is just the video i need after watching atlas bunkers. i am thinking, "but what if doomsday invaders try to seal off your oxygen pipeline exposed on the ground?" this might just be the solution! i would also like to know more about Crassulacean Acid Metabolism where some plants actually use carbon dioxide at night to produce oxygen.
i am thinking, "what if we fill a room with 500 CAM plants that gives off oxygen 12 hours with light, then another 12 hours of oxygen without light, but also get rid of carbon dioxide build up? wouldnt that be good? or mix it with CAM and non-CAM plants.
also, some plants can purify air by getting rid of toxins like formaldehyde and carbon monoxide.
比較各種植物於500、5000 Lux兩種光強度下對甲醛及二氧化碳吸附能力之之差異，於上午、下午及晚間之試驗顯示，強光分別可提升沈降速度42％∼148％、4％~122％、7％∼1098％。植物對二氧化碳之吸收也呈現相同趨勢，於上午、下午及晚間之實驗顯示，強光分別可提升沈降速度至13％∼367％、22％∼686％、20％∼2543％。表示光度越強，植物對甲醛及二氧化碳之吸收越高，且其提升程度依植物種類不同而有不同
thanks for clarifying that u were joking
lol
Results from an actual study: The amount of time for the plants to produce your mentioned amount of oxygen is in reality much much longer, and you need about 10 times the amount of plants to be able to actually survive. Plus removal of CO2 is not the same as oxygen production, so multiply your plant numbers again by 9. Yes you do actually need a few thousand plants to be able to survive in a sealed room. Bad news is that the current human population (still growing) is actually consuming oxygen faster than the planet can make it. cars, truck,motorcycle engines, aircraft jet engines, ship engines, ALL combustion engines and coal fired power stations... they are burning more oxygen each day than the planet makes. Think on that. This is real data.
So sleeping in forest is dangerous 🤔
lmao and here is why astronauts don't use plants for infinite oxygen tnx was looking for answer
It could maybe work if they had a glass dome facing the sun but yeah it's way to dependant on many other factors
They say snake plants can do it
Yeah they all have filtering capabilities but its so minute and the air movement in a house nullifies it
Hey this videos really helpful, and it helped me out! Thank you.
u are cute
@@TechplantChannel u are ADORABLE
.
thanks for watching
I wanted to see you gasping for air as you try and live out this experiment. I'm quite disappointed. :(
lmao, id be dead in a few hours then no more content for RUclips to farm, cant let my overlords down!
I think there's so many wrong information here. Its when at night that plants produce their oxygen. during the day, its starch or sugar that the plants produce..
When plants produce their sugars are starch through photosynthesis oxygen is the byproduct.
If you have a link or something that says otherwise I'd be happy to read it.
Doesn't some plants make oxygen at night?
