Genus of about 20 species of usually rhizomatous, evergreen perennials from tropical forest in Asia. The leaf blades are borbe on long, sheathing leaf stalks from a central growing point. The aglaonemas (the Chinese Evergreen) are grown for their large and colourful foliage. Aglaonemas tolerate some shade, but near-white varieties need a well-lit spot.In winter it requires warm and moist air.
Average warmth in summer - minimum 60F in winter.Semi-shade or bright light. Keep well away from direct sunlight. Grow in soil-based or soilless potiing mix.
Water sparingly in winter. For the rest of thr year water thoroughly. Misting is necessary. Never use a coarse spray.
Pot up basal shoots with a few leaves and roots attached. Air layering is an alternative. Cuttings may be rooted in soil or water at any time.
