Aglaonema Stars

Aglaonema Stars Aglaonema Stars is one of the “new breed” of Aglaonema hybrids. It is not as widely grown as Jewel of India or Emerald Star. Don’t confuse Stars with Emerald Star… they are different. 

A full plant of Stars appears to be shorter than Emerald Star and even though it is dark green has a different leaf pattern and “design”.

One area that has always been a real downside to growing, shipping and caring for Aglaonemas is they are cold sensitive. Aglaonema Stars along with Emerald Star and Jewel of India have 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.
