Origin
The Aglaonema 'Ivy Green', also known as the Chinese Evergreen, is native to the tropical and subtropical regions of Asia and New Guinea. The plant belongs to the Araceae family, which is known for its diversity in size, colour and shape. The Aglaonema, which is often grown in soil culture, has become popular as a pot plant over the years due to its attractive appearance and easy maintenance.

Characteristics
The Aglaonema 'Ivy Green' is known for its deep green leaves with a pearlescent sheen, which accentuates the striking veins. These leaves, which have an oval and pointed shape, can reach a length of 30 centimetres. The plant grows upright and can reach a height of about 90 centimetres. In addition to its aesthetic appeal, the Aglaonema 'Ivy Green' is known for its ability to survive in less than ideal conditions, making it a popular choice for both beginners and experienced plant owners.

Care
Although the Aglaonema 'Ivy Green' can withstand less than ideal conditions, it thrives best in bright, indirect sunlight and it is recommended to keep the plant out of direct sunlight. The ideal room temperature ranges between 16°C and 25°C. In terms of watering, the soil should be allowed to dry slightly between waterings. It is important to fertilise the Aglaonema 'Ivy Green' regularly, especially during the growing period. Pruning of the plant is not necessary, but can contribute to fuller growth.
