Aglaonema

Brief Description

Aglaonema, commonly known as Chinese evergreen, is a popular houseplant characterized by its striking variegated leaves and adaptability to low light conditions. It typically showcases lush green leaves with patterns that can range from silver to cream shades.

Care Instructions

Aglaonema prefers indirect light and can tolerate a range of lighting conditions. Keep the soil moist but not soggy, allowing it to dry slightly between waterings. It thrives in humid environments but can adapt to lower humidity levels. Fertilize every few months during the growing season with a balanced houseplant fertilizer.

Medicinal Value

While Aglaonema is primarily grown for ornamental purposes, it is known to be a mild air purifier, helping to remove toxins from the air. However, it is toxic if ingested and should be kept out of reach of pets and children.
