Aglaonema & Chinese Evergreens (Aglaonema spp.)
Aglaonema (Chinese Evergreen) is celebrated worldwide as one of the most forgiving, shade-tolerant indoor plants in cultivation. Ranging from rich emerald and silver camouflage to dazzling ruby-red and neon pink foliage, Aglaonemas excel in low to bright filtered light with low maintenance.
Unlike many tropical plants that lose vibrant color in lower light, green and silver Aglaonemas maintain their variegation even under fluorescent office lighting.
