The houseplant that could stop you from snoring

Is this too good to be true?

Anyone who has slept next to a snorer knows all too well what it feels like to be sleep deprived.

The good news is, NASA scientists believe they have discovered a simple way to put an end to snoring: a pineapple plant.

According to multiple news reports, NASA claims “pineapple plants produce oxygen and boost air quality at night which could improve sleep quality and cut out those snores.”

Jumping on the bandwagon, UK supermarket chain Asda is stocking the plant, marketing it as a ‘miracle’ cure. 

Phil Smith, Asda Plant Buyer, said: “Snorts, snuffles and splutters affect a quarter of Brits, so for those 16 million snorers, Asda’s Pineapple Plant could be a dream come true – even more-so for sleep-deprived partners. 

“For those lucky enough to sleep through the night without the disturbance of snoring, the plant is a chic addition to the home which is easy to care for and adds a little touch of The Tropics to any room.”

For anyone looking to purchase a pineapple plant in Australia, Bunnings sometimes stocks decorative pineapple plants, or contact your local nursery.
