Does a diffuser hurt plants?

Diffusers sometimes affect plants. The impact depends on several factors. Essential oils in diffusers can affect plants because plants are sensitive to concentrated oils. Many essential oils are actually plant defense mechanisms in concentrated form, so they can stress or harm plants when diffused nearby. Plants most sensitive to diffused oils include small, delicate plants; plants with thin leaves; and seedlings/young plants. To safely use a diffuser, keep it several feet away from any plants, run it for shorter periods, ensure good ventilation, and watch plants for signs of stress like wilting or leaf damage.
