      Yes They filter air but an individual plant actually outputs minuscule work on a room. Youd need TONS to do significant improvement in air, so much so that it wouldnt really be practical since now theyll just always obstruct what youre doing, even perhaps block where you walk. They look very pretty tho, and that can alleviate stress/anxiety!

    Hi Erin! I a hamster owner in China and I've learnt so much from you since the day I decided to get my furry!
    Most Chinese people don't have the access to CZcams. So some of our friends decided to set up a subtitle group, to translate and upload CZcams hamster videos on a Chinese website called bilibili.
    We won't use any of the videos for commercial purposes. And since your videos are so imformative, we really hope you can allow us to translate them!
    Waiting for your reply and best regards on you and your furries! (•̀ϖ•́ )

    I use straight up soil that is organic, I use one of those half cut cork logs for a entrance and plant cat grass and wheat grass to help keep the soil together. Pikachu loves it he digs multi chamber burrows and tunnels. you do need to let the soil dry up a bit and you can water the grass with a mist bottle. I want to build him a bigger one. and before I get hate, He dose have a whole other box connected with the plastic tubes to another box that is all bedding.. its two diy big enclosures the biggest plastic ones. =)

    Hi...nice video. I bought some plants in a very small version.. also this one. I cover the pots with exotic cocos pieces so they are hidden wich looks nice. I put a piece of cardboard under them to providing the bottom of the cage from soaking wet. Not that it is getting wet because i use that little plastick bottle that i am using for coloring my hair. After good cleaning ofcourse. With this bottle it is easy to give your plants only a little bit water. Just enough.. whitout making everything wet.

    Hello Erin! A few days ago I got a pot of "hamster oat and millet seeds for planting"
    It comes in a pot and when you open it, there is only pure substrate (no added chemicals) and seeds. So you grow it (and never put in your hamster's cage) and give the weeds (or grasses?) for them to eat it after 8 days.
    It seemed like a good idea and I'm doing my research before using them with my hamster.

    • @SomethingAnimal

      While they prefer a lot if indirect light, they do normally tolerate low light levels very well. As long as your room isn't really dark then a spider plant should be okay :)
