Aglaonemas come from the tropical forests of south-east Asia.
Aglaonemas belong to the aroids family, together with spathifyllum,
dieffenbachia and philodentron. As its "relatives", it has shiny
oval-shaped leaves, with jigged edges, fleshy to the touch and with
impressive alternations of various tones of green. Its flowers look
like small white callas and they produce a few yellow or red fruits.
However, the basic reason for cultivating aglaonemas is their
wonderful foliage and not its colors. Aglaonema is very resistant to
disease .
Aglaonemas can be grown to any degree of lighting, from full-light
(filtered - never direct sunlight) to the darkest room of hour home.
Of course, the more the light it gets the most impressive the colors
on its leaves will be. Propagation: Division or stem cuttings |
