Abstract
This document is about Aglaonema, commonly called Chinese evergreen. This plant is a member of the family Araceae that comprises 21 known species that are native to southeast Asia where they grow in the humid, heavily shaded tropical forest (Huxley 1994). Cultivated in the East for centuries, Aglaonema was believed to bring fortune to life and probably was introduced to the western world in 1885 (Brown 2000). First published Oct. 2001.
