It’s a wall-mounted growing system that is filled with [toxin-absorbing plants](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/plantafrom-smart-indoor-garden) that will naturally purify the air inside your home. A translucent gel-like nutrient substrate keeps the plants rooted without using soil. The ‘Breathe Easy’ air filter features a line of LED lights along the bottom of the plant bed for added aesthetic value. Overall, the design is far more attractive than the [bulky air purifiers and filters](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/windmill-air-purifier) I’ve seen on the market, and I especially appreciate that ‘Breathe Easy’ is a natural alternative to its electric brethren. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.8/10 - Popularity: 49% | Activity: 56% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Eco](https://www.trendhunter.com/eco) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Aeroponic Growing Systems:** The trend of using aeroponic growing systems in home air filters presents opportunities for developing innovative, space-saving products. - **Toxin-absorbing Plants:** The trend of incorporating toxin-absorbing plants in air filters opens up possibilities for creating natural and eco-friendly solutions for indoor air purification. - **Translucent Gel-like Nutrient Substrate:** The trend of using a translucent gel-like nutrient substrate in aeroponic air filters offers potential for creating efficient and soil-free plant growth systems. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Home Air Purification:** The home air purification industry can explore disruptive innovation opportunities by incorporating aeroponic growing systems and toxin-absorbing plants in their products. - **Indoor Gardening:** The indoor gardening industry can leverage the trend of using aeroponic growing systems and translucent gel-like nutrient substrates to develop convenient and space-efficient solutions for plant cultivation. - **Sustainable Design:** The sustainable design industry can capitalize on the trend of integrating toxin-absorbing plants in air filters to create eco-friendly and visually appealing products for indoor air purification. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Plant-Supporting Air Purifiers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/florapur-air-purifier-concept.md) - [Plant-Powered Air Purifiers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/neo-px-air-purifier.md) - [Indoor Air Quality-Improving Gardens](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/elpo-indoor-vertical-garden.md) - [Minimalist Purifying Planters](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/blow.md) - [Plant-Powered Air Purifiers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/decorative-air-purifier.md) - [Plant-Shaped Air Purifiers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/artsy-air-purifiers.md) - [Air-Purifying Houseplants](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/neoplants.md) - [Moss-Powered Air Purifiers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/moss-air.md) - [Aesthetic Air Purifiers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/stylish-air-purifier.md)
