Aglonema Suvarnabhumi Variegated 'Airport' (926W11)

Aglaonema, a captivating genus in the Araceae family, encompasses over 20 species native to the tropical and subtropical regions of Asia and New Guinea. These evergreen perennials are celebrated for their impressive foliage, featuring broad, lance-shaped leaves found in a veritable rainbow of colors.

Originally described by Dutch botanist Carl Ludwig Blume in the early 19th century, the name "Aglaonema" combines the Greek words "aglaos" (bright) and "nema" (thread), reflecting the bright markings seen in some species. The genus has been widely cultivated since then, with numerous hybrids and cultivars developed to enhance its ornamental qualities.

Aglaonema plants are ideal for indoor settings due to their tolerance for a range of conditions and minimal care requirements. They do best in medium-bright, indirect light but can adapt to lower light conditions, although growth may be slower.

Water Aglaonema when the top half of the soil has dried out. Be cautious of overwatering to avoid root rot, ensuring that the pot has good drainage and the substrate isn't kept soggy. While Aglaonema can handle average room humidity, it will benefit from increased moisture in dry environments. Maintain temperatures between 70°F and 85°F (21°C to 29°C) to keep your plant healthy and vibrant.
