Micro-irrigation device, system, and method for plant-based cleaning of indoor air and filter bed bioregeneration

This invention describes a system to purify indoor air using plants. Air is drawn through a filter bed containing plants, which clean the air. A micro-irrigation system waters the plants evenly, with outlets positioned close to the surface, and a canopy or trellis keeps plant leaves from touching the filter bed, ensuring consistent watering.

Why it matters: Filed before widespread smart home integration and affordable IoT sensors. The precise, uniform irrigation and airflow control described in the claims are now much easier to achieve with off-the-shelf components and software.
