Product Description
Aglaonema, also known as Chinese evergreens, are beloved indoor plants renowned for their stunning foliage and minimal upkeep. Originating from the lush rainforests of Southeast Asia, these tropical beauties belong to the Araceae family. Their glossy leaves come in an array of captivating hues, including shades of green, silver, red, pink, and cream, often adorned with intricate patterns like stripes or speckles. Growing upright with a slow pace, Aglaonema plants can reach up to three feet in height, making them perfect for indoor spaces with limited room. Thriving in bright, indirect light but tolerant of lower light conditions, they're versatile additions to any home or office environment. With a preference for consistently moist soil and occasional misting to boost humidity, Aglaonemas require little maintenance beyond basic care like dusting their leaves and pruning away dead foliage
