AGLAONEMA CLEOPATRA - info
AGLAONEMA CLEOPATRA
This is perhaps the hardiest houseplant.
It lives in the undergrowth of the tropical forest where it manages to capture little light that filters through.
If you place it in the darkest places of your home it will probably be able to survive, but if you want to see it thriving, bring it closer to a light source.
It lives in the rainforest and is therefore used to very high humidity.
Therefore try to spray it often.
Aglaonema is one of the plants included in the NASA list with a beneficial function for the air: it filters harmful substances, cleans the air and releases oxygen.
