Origin
The Aglaonema 'Starshine', also known under the name of Chinese Lucky Plant, finds its origin in the damp, shady forests of Asia and New Guinea. In particular, the tropical rainforest of Southeast Asia is considered the natural habitat of this plant. Aglaonemas are part of the Araceae or Arum family.

Characteristics
The Aglaonema 'Starshine' stands out because of its shiny, striped leaves in various shades of green. A mature plant can reach a height between 60 and 120 cm, depending on the care and conditions. The plant has a slow growth period, which can cause a delay before the plant reaches its full size. Characteristics of the 'Starshine' include its narrow, pointed leaves that hang gracefully from the plant.

Care
The Aglaonema 'Starshine' prefers a location with indirect light to semi-shade, as direct sunlight can burn the leaf. For optimal growth, this plant needs moderate to high humidity. The soil for the Aglaonema 'Starshine' must be well-draining and the plant has a preference for a neutral to slightly acidic pH value. Watering should be done on a moderate basis, allowing the soil to dry out a little between watering sessions.
