Is it really bad luck to have plants in your bedroom?

It's just superstition, there's zero basis to it. Plants produce oxygen during the day and consume it at night, so yeah it's true it's not optimal for sleeping if you've got them all over the place, but it's not gonna wreck your life. I've got one or two in my bedroom and I have no problems, but if you're not sleeping well you gotta look at your mattress, your bed, your schedule and not blame some poor plant haha.

Like I mentioned earlier, the bad luck thing is just superstition. But the oxygen and carbon dioxide question at night, it's technically true except honestly in a normal room with one or two plants it's so negligible it changes nothing. You'd need a dense jungle for that to actually impact your air. But if you've got allergies or asthma, that's a different story - some plants can make symptoms worse, especially ones that produce a lot of dust or mold. So you get reactions at night without really understanding why. It's not bad luck, it's just that physically it doesn't work with you.

Me personally I've got a few in my bedroom and I have zero problems, but I also have excellent air circulation and no sensitivities. The real question is more like: do you sleep better or worse with plants? Because psychologically if you tell yourself it's bad luck you're gonna sleep badly, it's just placebo effect. And what kind of plants are we talking about anyway? Big leafy ones or small subtle things? Regular watering can create excessive humidity in a small closed room, now that's an actual problem. So before you take them out, ask yourself what's really bothering you.

On the whole bad luck thing, that's clearly total BS. There's no connection between having a plant and your bad luck, it's just folklore stuff.

But the oxygen thing at night, you gotta keep it in perspective too. Yeah technically plants consume oxygen and release CO2 at night, that's true. But honestly? in a normal-sized bedroom, even with several plants, the impact on air quality is really negligible. It's not like you're sleeping in a hermetically sealed greenhouse. Anyway your bedroom isn't a closed system, air circulates, you've got cracks and gaps everywhere. So this whole "it's bad for breathing at night" thing is frankly exaggerated.

What I'd say is that for well-being it's actually pretty beneficial. I've got plants all over my place, including in the bedroom, and it's nice for your mood, makes things feel less sterile. But if it stresses you out, no need to force yourself either. But it's really not a problem for your sleep. If you actually want something to watch out for, it's more about excessive humidity from overwatering or temperature, that stuff can actually affect sleep comfort. But the plant itself? honestly no.

Zero danger there. But personally I like putting plants in my room for the aesthetics and the vibe, it really makes the space feel more alive - as for oxygen at night it's really negligible unless you put like 50 of them in an airtight closet lol.
