Misère
Tradescantia zebrina · Inch-plant
Tradescantia zebrina is a plant commonly found in urban home gardens in Heredia, Costa Rica. While there are no traditional uses recorded for this plant, it has been observed to decompose faster than native species' litter and does not alter decomposition rates or lignocellulolytic fungal communities. Scientific evidence suggests that Tradescantia zebrina may have potential for improving indoor air quality by capturing particles on leaf surfaces; however, the removal rate of benzene varies with exposure time, indicating both fast reversible transport and in vivo fixation mechanisms. No major safety issues or drug interactions have been recorded for this plant.

Ce que dit la science
- L'étude a documenté de nouvelles utilisations médicinales pour plusieurs plantes, notamment la Tradescantie zébrine, dans les jardins domestiques urbains d'Heredia, au Costa Rica.
- Les taux d'élimination du benzène par Tradescantia zebrina ont augmenté avec une concentration d'air plus élevée, variant de 23,05 à 57,42 mg·kg-1·h-1 FAM.
- La capacité des espèces de Tradescantia zebrina et d'autres espèces végétales à capturer des particules sur les surfaces des feuilles et réduire la pollution intérieure était similaire, avec une réduction de 65-79% observée.
- Les débris de Tradescantia zebrina se décomposent plus rapidement que ceux des espèces indigènes, mais l'invasion n'a pas modifié les communautés de champignons lignocellulolytiques.
