Grow your own fresh air

What a great idea! I would like to try this at home. Perhaps make a room dedicated to growing these plants outside and then capturing the oxygen via vents and fans.

The three plants you need are:

common name	name	botanical name	per person	maintenance	function	cost per person
the living room plant	areca palm	chrysalidocarpus lutescens	4	wipe leaves daily, take them out doors 3-4 months
the bedroom plant	mother-in-law's tongue	sansevierio trifasciata	6-8 waist height		converts oxygen at night
the specialist plant	money plan	epipremnum aureum	1		removes some volatile chemicals
