Know before you buy
This plant is highly adaptable and thrives in low-light conditions, making it perfect for offices or rooms with limited natural light. While it tolerates dim corners, it will maintain its vibrant, icy green variegation best in indirect light.
No, the Aglaonema Silver Bay is not pet-safe. It contains calcium oxalate crystals that can cause irritation if ingested, so it is best kept in a location inaccessible to curious pets.
This plant prefers a low-maintenance watering schedule. You should only water it when the top few inches of soil feel dry to the touch, which typically happens every week or two depending on your home's humidity and temperature.
It arrives fully prepared for your home. Each plant comes pre-potted in premium soil within a stylish Ecopots container and includes a matching saucer, so you can place it directly in your space upon arrival.
Yes, the Aglaonema is technically a flowering plant. While it is primarily grown for its striking, patterned foliage, it may produce small, calla-lily-like blooms under the right indoor conditions.
