aglaonemaaglaonema
genusgenusTropical foliage plants celebrated for their striking leaf patterns that can feature various combinations of green, silver, and pink colors. These understory plants naturally grow beneath the forest canopy, developing broad, oval leaves that efficiently capture filtered light.
Etymology
The name comes from Greek words 'aglaos' meaning 'bright' or 'shining' and 'nema' meaning 'thread' or 'filament', referring to the bright stamens in their flowers.
Interesting fact!
Their distinctive leaf patterns are actually a clever survival strategy that helps them photosynthesize effectively in low-light conditions by maximizing light reflection and absorption.
