Aglaonema Snow White. Aglaonema, also known as Chinese Evergreen, is a highly decorative plant with several interesting varieties. It is one of the most popular houseplants and the colour variations—from dark green to silver, and some with hints of red—add to your home's decor. The darker green varieties of aglaonema can grow in near shade, while the variegated varieties require brighter light. Do not expose any variety of aglaonema to direct sun. 2-3 times a week, do not let the plant dry out completely.
