Get a Snake plant. They create a lot of Oxygen and easy to take care of.

You would need hundreds of houseplants to offset a single human's CO2/provide enough O2.

I'm not anti house plants, they have benefits, but a single plant will not make a meaningful oxygen difference.

6 Normal size snake plants can produce enough oxygen to keep a single human alive fyi

Source? As far as I'm aware that's a false claim that's been circulating for a while. It distorted a NASA study about air quality, not even about oxygen production. https://apnews.com/article/fact-check-nasa-study-snake-plants-oxygen-survival-212605533455

Put it this way, to provide enough oxygen for a human, you would have to grow the equivalent plant matter worth of carbon. We eat a lot of carbon, that's a lot of plant growth per day.
