Properties and uses:
The Aglaonema is an indoor plant, which has bright, variegated foliage.
It is sought after for its de-polluting properties, notably to neutralize benzene, toluene and formaldehyde.
Looking after advice:
The Aglaonema thrives in humid atmospheres
- So we recommended to water it regularly but with moderation, and to spray water onto its foliage.
- You can also grow it on a saucer filled with clay marbles or with other green plants, which will create a pleasing atmosphere.
- Withstanding low light, it is the ideal plant for bathrooms.
- Give it a little bit of fertilizer suitable for green houseplants, every months except in winter.
- The Aglaonemas grow quite happily in small pots so re-potting is only necessary every two to three years.
