Aglaonema Classics

Aglaonemas were first cultivated by the Chinese and were commonly called Chinese Evergreen. They were originally found in the tropical areas of Southeast Asia, and then eventually made their way to Europe and North America. Some species, like the Maria ( Emerald Beauty ), were originally collected in the wild from the forests of the Philippines. Other varieties, like Silver Bay and BJ Freeman, were hybridized and then released to the commercial market as well as to collectors. Today Agloanemas have become one of the most versatile and widely used plants for interior application.
