Summary

Have you ever wanted to grow a lucky plant? Aglaonema, also referred to as the Chinese Evergreen, is considered to be a luck-bringer in China.

NASA has placed aglaonema modestum on its top ten list of clean air plants because of the plant’s natural ability to cleanse the air around it. It has been shown to remove benzene and formaldehyde from air sources, making them safer to breathe. Lush and colorful, this tropical not only cleanses the air, but it looks stunningly beautiful while it does it. It’s easy to see why these are such popular plants!
