You install O2Nest on Monday. By Friday, your air quality monitor shows 40% lower CO2 in your home office. You watch through the clear viewing window as the ant-inspired soil channels pulse with the cactus root system - a living, breathing air filter that thrives on neglect. Six months later, you add your second cup of water, and the system keeps running.
