House plants are an affordable way to freshen up your living space, to make it more cozy, environmentally friendly and attractive. House flowers are excellent "therapists" who have a positive effect on us with their amazing abilities.
The presence of a variety of plants in the interior makes a person more cheerful and friendly. Every plant, regardless of size, has its own characteristic features, which are expressed primarily in their individuality
Among the variety of species of decorative-foliage plants is quite widespread and popular aglaonema (Aglaonema), famous for the abundance of its varieties. According to the systematic classification of species, Aglaonema belongs to the family of aroids, which is always characterized by its exquisite, magnificent and presentable forms.
Under natural conditions, it is found in the lowest tier of the rainforest, with abundant moisture and shade.
Its native area of origin is thought to be eastern India and the Malay Archipelago (Malacca Peninsula). But in fact the native roots of this tropical semi-shrub are not confined to a single territory: you can see the beauty of aglaonema in wet tropical latitudes of Cambodia, in the forests of China and Vietnam, on the coastal slopes of the Thai Islands, Malaysia and Indonesia. The islands of New Guinea and the Philippines are also adorned with evergreen aglaonema shrubs.
Due to similarity in appearance aglaonema (often a variety of Silver Bay) is often confused with a representative of the aroids - diffenbahia, but the latter, in turn, has a larger and more rounded leaf shape. The family of aroids, which includes the Aglaonema is famous for its eye-catching and brightly colored leaves and unusual buds and inflorescences.
The neighbors of the aglaoneme in the family are the beautiful spathiphyllum, the exceptional anthurium, the massive monster, as well as the syngonium, caladium and other species.
