A healthy houseplant for you, or a thoughtful gift for that eco-conscious friend!

Give the gift of clean air with a beautiful, air-filtering houseplant. This plant was included as part of the NASA Clean Air Study or subsequent studies completed by other air quality scientists. These Clean Air Plants filter toxins from the air, some of which may include benzene, formaldehyde, and trichloroethylene.

This Dracaena spp. is a ‘Grower's Choice’ plant, which means our Plant Team will choose from our current selection of different varieties of this genus. Some will have darker variegation and others will traditional variegation.

The genus Dracaena is known for its elongated, dark green, leathery leaves. They are popular in homes and businesses due to their tolerance of low light conditions. This genus has an assortment of cultivars from tall striking plants to compact desk varieties. All varieties offer the same easy care and air cleaning properties.

This plant also comes in an attractive eco-friendly biodegradable rice hull pot with saucer which are both long-lasting and safe for the environment. The pot and saucer will last up to 10 years with normal indoor use and will break down into a nutrient-rich organic matter when composted.
