The Agaonema family belongs to the Aracaea (Arum-like). Among its relatives we find, for example, the Anthurium (Flamingo flower) and the Spathiphyllum.
When your plant feels comfortable, its many flowers will show. They are subtle, consisting of a lightly coloured standing bract in which a cob of little male and female flowers hide.
The flowers are not particularly ornamental and normally they will dry before the orange fruits come out.
The light-green spots at the leaf’s main rib and the dark-green border present a contrast that makes this plant suitable to any kind of interior.
The lighter the plant’s colours, the more sunlight it will be able to appreciate. Dark places are always good for Aglaonema. This plant is perfect for the darkest corners of your living room.
This woody plant does not ask for much. With a minimum of care it will remain healthy and attractive for years.
It looks wonderful in a colourful, spherical or a cylinder-shaped pot.
