HEALTH BENEFITS
Aglaonema 'Stars' is a variety of Aglaonema, commonly known as Chinese Evergreen. While primarily grown as an ornamental plant, it does offer some health benefits, including:
1. Air Purification
- Aglaonema helps remove indoor air pollutants like benzene, formaldehyde, and other toxins, improving air quality.
2. Oxygen Production
- It increases oxygen levels in indoor spaces, which can enhance breathing and overall well-being.
3. Humidity Regulation
- The plant releases moisture into the air, helping maintain indoor humidity levels, which can prevent dry skin, sore throats, and respiratory issues.
4. Stress Reduction & Mental Well-being
- Greenery has been shown to reduce stress, anxiety, and fatigue while promoting relaxation and focus.
5. Low Maintenance & Allergy-Friendly
- It requires minimal care and does not produce pollen, making it a great option for allergy sufferers.
Although Aglaonema is beneficial for indoor environments, it is toxic to pets and humans if ingested, as it contains calcium oxalate crystals that can cause irritation. Keep it away from children and pets.
