Grow More Plants, Grow Healthier

To ensure that an individual’s oxygen needs are met through natural means, it’s essential to understand the oxygen production capabilities of trees. A mature tree can produce approximately 118 kg of oxygen annually. On the other hand, an average person consumes around 740 kg of oxygen each year. By calculating the number of trees required to sustain one person’s oxygen consumption, we divide the annual oxygen consumption by the oxygen produced by one tree. This results in approximately 6.3 trees. Therefore, about 6 to 7 mature trees are needed to generate enough oxygen for one person’s yearly requirements.

Which Trees to Grow?

• Oaks (Quercus spp.)

  • Long-lived and robust, significant carbon sequestration and oxygen production.

• Pines (Pinus spp.)

  • Fast-growing and evergreen, excellent for year-round oxygen production.

• Eucalyptus (Eucalyptus spp.)

  • Rapid growth, quickly contributes to oxygen production and carbon sequestration.

• Alder (Alnus spp.)

  • Fast-growing, nitrogen-fixing, improves soil health while producing oxygen.

• Maples (Acer spp.)

  • Significant oxygen production, popular in temperate regions with beautiful fall foliage.

Which Plants to Grow?

• Bamboo

  • Extremely fast-growing, produces more oxygen compared to many trees, excellent for soil stabilization.

• Peace Lily (Spathiphyllum spp.)

  • Known for air-purifying qualities, great for improving indoor air quality.

• Spider Plant (Chlorophytum comosum)

  • Excellent indoor plant, known for air purification and oxygen production.

• Areca Palm (Dypsis lutescens)

  • Effective at increasing indoor humidity and oxygen levels, popular for homes and offices.

• Snake Plant (Sansevieria trifasciata)

  • Hardy and low-maintenance, known for its ability to produce oxygen even at night.
