CHINESE EVERGREEN
If you're looking for a low-light, low maintenance indoor plant that suits just about any décor, take a good look at Chinese evergreen. Chinese Evergreen, or Aglaonema, is one of the best plants for beginners or those with low light conditions. This tough, slow growing plant is easy to grow and tolerates just about every indoor condition. Not only is it one of the toughest plants, it's also beautiful. Most varieties have deep green leaves with bold sliver markings. Its compact size makes it a perfect accent plant indoors.
Just weeks ago you picked the perfect Christmas tree, and it doesn't have to go to waste. To us, the outcome is not only sustainable, but a fitting way to complete the cycle for this truest symbol of Christmas. Tree-cycling is the practice of recycling Christmas trees in order to extend their usability. Common practices include chipping trees for use as mulch in community areas, erosion protection in fragile areas such as river deltas, underwater habitat creation and shoreline stabilization. Why not turn it into mulch this year!
