Arrived overnight, looking exactly like the photos
Ordered Tuesday at 8 PM, delivered Wednesday by 9:30 AM. Plant was healthy, tall (about 16 inches), came in the charcoal pot exactly as shown. The packaging was thoughtful — wood shavings, tied stems, no soil spill. Two weeks in and it's already pushed out a new leaf.

Survived me. That's a big deal.
I have killed every plant I have ever owned. Got this for the bedroom. Watered it once in 6 weeks. Still alive, still growing. The team also responded on WhatsApp within an hour when I asked if it was getting too much sun. Not paid to say this.

Beautiful plant, slightly smaller than expected
Plant itself is gorgeous and very healthy. Only minor gripe — I expected the medium size to be taller, but it's closer to 14 inches than 18. Still very happy with it. The Khurja ceramic pot is honestly the best part.

About the Aglaonema Plant
Aglaonema, or Chinese Evergreen, is a tropical perennial plant known for its attractive foliage and adaptability to indoor environments. Native to the warm, humid regions of Asia, this plant has become a staple in Indian homes and offices. The Aglaonema features glossy, lance-shaped leaves that display various patterns of green, silver, and sometimes red or pink, making it a visually appealing addition to any space. These plants grow slowly and maintain a compact size, typically reaching about 1-3 feet in height, making them suitable for both small and large spaces. Their ability to thrive in low to medium light conditions makes them particularly versatile for indoor settings where natural light may be limited.
Light & Placement
Aglaonema plants prefer bright, indirect light but can adapt well to low-light conditions. Avoid placing them in direct sunlight, as this can scorch their leaves and cause damage. The ideal locations for Aglaonema plants are east or north-facing windows where they receive gentle morning light. In rooms with lower light levels, they will grow more slowly but remain healthy. These plants are perfect for spaces like living rooms, bedrooms, offices, and even bathrooms with moderate light. When placing your Aglaonema, consider rotating it occasionally to ensure even growth and prevent the plant from leaning toward the light source.
Watering & Humidity
Aglaonema plants prefer their soil to dry out partially between waterings. Water thoroughly when the top inch of soil feels dry to the touch, but avoid letting the plant sit in water as this can lead to root rot. During the growing season (spring and summer), you may need to water more frequently, while in the dormant winter months, reduce watering frequency. These plants appreciate moderate humidity levels, making them well-suited for most Indian homes. In very dry conditions, occasional misting or placing the plant on a pebble tray with water can help maintain adequate humidity. Early morning or late evening is the best time to water your Aglaonema to prevent stress on the plant.
Pet Safety & Toxicity
Aglaonema plants are considered pet-friendly, making them an excellent choice for homes with cats or dogs. While the plant is not toxic to pets, it's still advisable to prevent pets from chewing on the leaves as ingestion may cause mild digestive discomfort. The waxy texture of the leaves naturally deters most pets from nibbling. For added safety, you can place the plant in an elevated location or use pet deterrent sprays if you have particularly curious animals. This pet-friendly quality, combined with their air-purifying benefits, makes Aglaonema an ideal plant for households that want to enjoy greenery without worrying about pet safety.
