Aglaonema Emerald Star is one of the “new breed” of Aglaonema hybrids. It has many qualities which are sure to make it a mainstay for interior use.
A full plant of Emerald Star can be grown from just 1 cutting just like Aglaonema Jewel of India. This means you’ll have a fully developed root system which is very important for healthy plants indoors or out. The overall height can reach 44 inches when mature and it can get very wide.
One area that has always been a real downside to growing, shipping and caring for Aglaonemas is they are cold sensitive. Aglaonema Emerald Star just like Jewel of India has been breed to withstand temperatures below 40 degrees with no damage.
The temperature requirements for Aglaonema Emerald Star is a comfortable 75 degrees and the water requirements are low. Aglaonemas are one of the plants used in the NASA Clean Air Study and has shown to help remove Formaldehyde. Although most Aglaonemas have few problems with pest, occasionally mealy bug and scale can attack the plant.
