The story
Most variegated plants lose their pattern in shade and revert to plain green. Aglaonema does not, which makes it one of the very few ways to get interesting foliage into a genuinely dim room. The silver-green marbling stays legible in conditions where a pothos would go solid green.
It is compact, slow, and undemanding — a good desk or side-table plant that does not need to be fussed over. We keep it in the office-plants selection for exactly that reason.
How to care for it
Low to medium indirect light; direct sun bleaches the pattern. Let the top half of the substrate dry between waterings. Tolerates ordinary indoor humidity without complaint. Wipe the leaves occasionally. Keep above 16°C — it dislikes cold more than it dislikes shade.
Common questions
Are your plants grown locally or imported?
Our plants are grown on and acclimatised locally before they are sold, which is the step that prevents the leaf drop people often see after buying a plant that has just been shipped. Where a specimen was originally sourced from abroad we will tell you if you ask.
What soil do you use?
The same mix for every plant we pot: coco peat for moisture retention, perlite and volcanic rock for air pockets and drainage, and composted bark for structure. The success of a plant starts from the correct substrate — it is the most common reason indoor plants fail. We sell the same mix if you want to repot yourself.
Which of your plants are safe for cats and dogs?
Kentia palm, Calathea orbifolia, Echeveria and Boston fern are not known to be toxic. Monstera, pothos, philodendron, ZZ plant, snake plant, peace lily, and the ficus species are toxic if chewed. Every product page states this explicitly, and where the evidence is genuinely unclear we mark it as unconfirmed rather than guessing.
