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 Silverado
Aglaonema Silverado belongs to the Araceae family and is native to tropical and subtropical regions of Asia. This evergreen perennial features erect stems and stunning foliage characterized by silvery-green leaves with darker green variegation. The plant's name 'Silverado' reflects its distinctive silver-toned leaves that add a touch of elegance to any space. In its natural habitat, Aglaonema grows on forest floors, which explains its adaptability to lower light conditions indoors. The plant has been a part of indoor gardening traditions across Asia for centuries and has gained particular popularity in Indian homes for its beauty and practical benefits.
Light & Placement
Aglaonema Silverado thrives in medium to bright indirect light but can adapt well to lower light conditions, making it versatile for various indoor spaces. Avoid direct sunlight as it can scorch the leaves, causing brown patches and damage. The ideal placement is in east or north-facing rooms where morning sunlight is gentle, or in rooms with filtered light through sheer curtains. In offices with fluorescent lighting, this plant performs exceptionally well. While it can tolerate lower light, the foliage may lose some of its vibrant coloring in very dim conditions. Rotate the plant occasionally to ensure even growth and prevent the plant from leaning toward the light source.
Watering & Humidity
Water your Aglaonema Silverado when the top inch of soil feels completely dry. This typically means watering every 7-10 days, but frequency depends on your home's temperature, humidity, and light conditions. The plant is sensitive to overwatering, so it's better to underwater than overwater. Always check the soil moisture before watering. Early morning or late evening is the best time to water, allowing the plant to absorb moisture before cooler nighttime temperatures. While Aglaonema can tolerate average indoor humidity, it appreciates higher humidity levels. In very dry conditions, occasional misting or placing the plant on a pebble tray with water can help maintain optimal humidity around the foliage.
Pet Safety & Toxicity
Aglaonema Silverado is considered pet-friendly and non-toxic to cats and dogs. This makes it an excellent choice for pet owners who want to enjoy the benefits of indoor plants without worrying about their furry friends. While the plant is safe, it's still best to discourage pets from chewing on the leaves as it may cause mild digestive discomfort. The waxy texture of the leaves naturally deters most pets from nibbling. For homes with curious pets, placing the plant in an elevated location or using decorative planters can help keep it safe while adding to your home's decor.
