Origin
The Aglaonema 'White lance', also known as Chinese evergreen, originates from the tropical and subtropical regions of Asia. It is mainly found in the rainforests of Thailand, Indonesia, and Malaysia. Here, the plant has evolved to grow in the humid, shady conditions of the rainforest understory.

Characteristics
The Aglaonema 'White lance' is a popular pot plant, characterised by its striking leaf pattern. The leaves are elongated and pointed, with a contrasting mix of light and dark green hues. New leaves are continuously produced, ensuring a dense, bushy growth. The plant seldom blooms indoors, but can produce small, white flowers and red berries if conditions are optimal.

Care
Optimal growth requires a moderately lit spot for the Aglaonema 'White lance'. Full sun can fade or burn the leaves. The plant thrives best at temperatures between 18 and 24 degrees Celsius. Watering should be moderate, and one should be careful of overwatering. The soil should be almost dry between watering. The humidity should also be high to mimic the tropical origin of the plant. The plant does not need to be frequently fertilised, a light feed during the growing season will suffice.
