You bought that expensive snake plant because Instagram told you it would purify your air. You crammed peace lilies into every corner because NASA said they clean toxins. You spent hundreds on "air purifying" plants because everyone swore they'd transform your home's air quality. Here's the brutal truth that plant stores don't want you to know: you've been scammed. The most famous air purifying plant study in history was completely misinterpreted, and the marketing machine has been lying to you for decades.

Your beloved plants, those innocent green companions you've nurtured with such care, begin a dark ritual that could literally kill them. What I'm about to reveal about the nighttime behavior of plants will shatter everything you thought you knew about photosynthesis, plant care, and why some plants mysteriously die overnight. Warning: this scientific truth is more disturbing than any horror movie.
