What’s an Aglaonema Plant, Anyway?
Aglaonema is a genus of flowering plants in the arum family (Araceae), native to the humid rainforests of Southeast Asia. It’s been charming its way into homes worldwide thanks to its variegated foliage, resilience, and “cool, calm, and collected” demeanor.
Aglaonema comes in dozens of cultivars with leaves splashed in green, silver, cream, red, and even hot pink. It’s basically the peacock of low-light plants—except quieter and less demanding.
