Vriesea, the ideal plant to decorate bedrooms

Probably more than once you have heard different versions related to having plants inside the bedrooms, but is it true that plants steal our oxygen at night?

The answer is no. Possibly this myth has become popular because plants breathe like any other living being, the detail is that they consume only 0.1% of oxygen, a number that is far from what our pet or the person with whom we could share the bedroom needs.

Remember that thanks to sunlight, plants can carry out their photosynthesis process, where they absorb the carbon dioxide present in the air and transform it into glucose and oxygen.

Once this point is clarified, we will share some of the valuable reasons why Vriesea is a very good option for bedrooms.
