   Can NASA use air purifying plants?

   • “There are a lot of articles describing the air-purifying plants used by NASA,” explains founder and managing director Peer-Arne Bottcher; anyone can use those plants in their home. He and his team wanted to capitalize on the second finding, that the most effective part of filtering was happening around the roots.

   Could hydroponic plants be used in space exploration?

   • The XROOTS study tested using both hydroponic and aeroponic (air-based) techniques to grow plants rather than traditional soil. These techniques could enable large-scale crop production for future space exploration. NASA astronauts Jessica Watkins and Bob Hines work on the XROOTS investigation.
