I don't see how a plant can act as a useful dehumidifier
in normal UK conditions. If they could, then where would
the water go and what would be the physics/chemistry

I think succulents absorb some moisture in the air by osmosis. Get
enough of them and they will dehumidify a room.


Can you get enough of them in one normal sized living room?


It would be a bit of a challenge!
