Up to 30x more effective than the most air purifying houseplants
The regular houseplants tested by NASA sometimes capture VOCs (pollutants) from the air, but often very inefficiently. Our Plant-Microbiome System goes beyond the capabilities of regular plants by capturing and recycling these pollutants. Bioengineered to clean indoor air at a supercharged capacity, Neo Px is a powerful and elegant way to purify the air in your home.
Our research was carried out in partnership with IMT Nord Europe (leading European institute for air quality testing). Learn more about the science behind our claims.

Neo Px has been bioengineered by our team to efficiently absorb, metabolize and recycle the 3 most dangerous VOCs found in your home: Benzene, Toluene and Xylene. This is the result of cutting-edge microbiome engineering and directed evolution that’s enabled us to supercharge the air purification capabilities of our plant-microbiome system—achieving 30x efficiency compared to a regular houseplant.

Designing the Neo Px plant system
Our one-of-its-kind air purification system is powered by microbiome engineering. It combines nature's air purifying bacteria with a Marble Queen Pothos houseplant, which is known for its natural air purifying abilities. We have also designed a Shell to enhance airflow and boost performance. Together, these parts create a unique plant-microbiome system, designed for optimal air purification.
The plant-microbiome relationship
Like the good bacteria in your gut, a plant needs the right microorganisms to flourish. It grows and stays healthy thanks to this billion-strong community living on the leaves, around the roots and even inside it. Some of them also have an innate ability to use pollutants in the air as a food source, so we supercharged this natural capacity through a process called directed evolution.
Supercharging nature's air purifying bacteria
Over 5 years of R&D, we bioengineered the highly effective pollutant-eating microorganisms. We meticulously tested and selected two bacterial strains and put them through multiple rounds of directed evolution. This triggered favorable mutations to drastically enhance their ability to metabolize pollutants and recycle them into useful matter, like sugar and amino acids.
From lab-engineered bacteria to Power Drops
Our two microbial populations become highly specialized in transforming BTX into nutrients for the plant. We harvested, dehydrated and packaged it up for your home. Tiny yet powerful, we call our supercharged bacteria “Power Drops”.

WHAT MAKES NEO Px DIFFERENT?
Neo Px is a first-of-its-kind product. It has the unique ability to capture and recycle the main VOCs found in your home, as opposed to a regular houseplant or air purifier. Although these can purify other pollutants, they don’t have the capacity to transform them into something useful like Neo Px does.

SHELL
Design
The Shell maximizes air exchange, blending organic and technical elements. It features an eco-friendly PLA Flax shell, derived from renewable resources and biodegradable. Meticulously chosen for sustainability and performance, it offers a thoughtful, elegant addition to your interior space.
Airflow
The Shell is designed to allow maximum air intake, bringing the polluted air in contact with the microbiome-rich soil while increasing root growth and Neo Px’s health.
Care
The Shell features a self-watering system including a water reservoir to maintain optimal health of the plant and provide you maximum convenience. You only have to water Neo Px once every 3 weeks during winter, and once every 2 weeks over summer.
