Aglaonema 'Maria' at a glance:

Aglaonema 'Maria' is the archetypal Chinese evergreen: dark leaves banded with silver that cope gracefully with ordinary indoor light and still look lush year-round. The plant generally forms a dense, bushy clump around 50–60 cm tall, with leathery leaves 15–25 cm long that show strong silver striping down the centre and darker green toward the edges.

It comes from the Aglaonema commutatum group, which explains why it tolerates lower light, average humidity, and a little missed watering better than more demanding foliage plants. Bright filtered light sharpens the banding, but moderate light remains perfectly workable. Water after the upper layer of substrate has dried, use a well-draining mix with perlite or bark for aeration, and keep it warm and protected from cold drafts. It is a dependable baseline plant for anyone who wants foliage pattern, resilience, and a full tropical look without chasing collector rarity.
