Rating for this plant:
This is one of the easiest plants to grow. Water moderately and allow the soil to dry out slightly between watering. Fertilize once a month except in winter. If the plant is growing in low light, fertilize less. Propagate by division of the rootstock or by cuttings which can be stuck right into the parents pot.

This plant has a tendency to turn its leaves to the sun so turning the pot on occasion is advised.

Commutatum; this species has long dark green leaves that are blotched with pale green or white markings, it grows about 1 to 3 feet high.

Treubii type; light green leaves with a creamier markings.

Costatum; More compact that other members of genus Aglaunema, its leaves are numerous and crowded; each has a white midrib and its tapered at both ends.
