HEALTH BENEFITS
Aglaonema 'Lipstick' (also known as Chinese Evergreen) is primarily grown as an ornamental plant rather than for medicinal or health benefits. However, it does offer some indirect health benefits, such as:
1. Air Purification
Aglaonema plants are known to remove toxins like formaldehyde, benzene, and other indoor air pollutants, improving air quality.
2. Increased Humidity
Like other houseplants, Aglaonema releases moisture into the air, which can help prevent dryness in the skin, eyes, and respiratory system.
3. Stress Reduction & Mental Well-Being
Studies show that indoor plants can reduce stress, improve mood, and enhance productivity by creating a more calming environment.
4. Low Maintenance & Aesthetic Appeal
Its vibrant red and green leaves make it a beautiful decorative plant that can brighten up any space, contributing to a more pleasant living or working environment.
Caution:
While Aglaonema is beneficial for air quality, it is toxic to pets and humans if ingested, as it contains calcium oxalate crystals that can cause irritation and swelling. Keep it out of reach of pets and small children.
