Black Meridian Air-Scrub Vine Tray

Black Meridian grows a dense, blue-black scrub vine through conductive basalt mesh, where waxy leaves take up solvent vapor and cabin carbon dioxide. Healthy growth smells like cut cucumber over cold metal; a sweet acetone note means the roots are losing the argument. Rinse leaves with distilled water, keep the coir-perlite bed damp rather than flooded, and give it twelve hours of hard white light with moving air behind the case. The tamper-marked trays usually go to evidence lockers, corporate labs, and ships carrying cargo nobody wants described at customs. A working crew buys one after the cheaper greenery dies. It improves bad air; it does not replace life support. Salt crust, cleaning solvent, or a stopped fan turns the tray into warm anaerobic sludge, erases the useful log, and may expose everyone nearby to concentrated fumes.
