Origin
The Aglaonema 'Carnival Queen' is one of the many varieties of the Aglaonema, a plant family originating from tropical and subtropical regions of Asia and New Guinea. This specific species distinguishes itself through its vibrant colours and unique pattern. Its main origins come from the dense forests of Southeast Asia, where the plant has adapted to grow under thick canopies and in humid environments.

Characteristics
The Aglaonema 'Carnival Queen' is renowned for its beautiful foliage. The broad, dark green leaves are finished with a unique pattern of light green to yellow, resulting in a striking and colourful appearance. This plant can grow to a length of 50 centimetres to 1 metre. It also produces flowers, but these are often less conspicuous than the brightly coloured leaves.

Care
The Aglaonema 'Carnival Queen' is reasonably straightforward to take care of. An area with indirect sunlight is best, as direct sunlight can lead to burned leaves. The soil must be well-drained, but still consistently slightly moist. It is important to ensure that the plant does not get too much water, as this can lead to root rot. Like most tropical plants, the 'Carnival Queen' appreciates high humidity, but it also proves to be reasonably tolerant of drier climates.
