Meet Aglaonema ‘Tom’s Pride’—the speckled silver charmer. With slender leaves flecked and brushed in pale green, silver and deeper emerald, she brings a soft camouflage effect to indoor shelves. Calm, adaptable and full of subtle pattern, she’s a stylish low-fuss houseplant with collector appeal.

• The Formal Name: Aglaonema commutatum ‘Tom’s Pride’
• The Nickname: Tom’s Pride Chinese Evergreen
• Roots: A selected form of Aglaonema commutatum, a species native to the wet tropical forests of Central Malesia.
• Natural Vibe: Warm, shaded tropical forest floors where foliage plants thrive beneath taller canopy plants.
• Care Guide:
• Sunlight: She prefers medium to bright indirect light and will tolerate a slightly shadier corner better than many houseplants.
• Best Room: A living room, bedroom or office shelf with soft filtered light.
• Snacks: Feed lightly every 4–6 weeks in spring and summer with a balanced houseplant fertiliser.
• Tropical Feels: Average home humidity is usually fine, but she appreciates a little extra moisture in the air.
• Cosy Factor: Keep her cosy at 18–27°C and away from cold draughts.
• Thirst: Water when the top few centimetres of compost feel dry; she prefers even moisture without sitting wet.
• Safety First: Toxic – Aglaonema contains irritating calcium oxalate crystals, so keep away from pets and small hands.
• The Bedding: A light, free-draining houseplant mix with added perlite works beautifully.
• Family Tree: Propagate by stem cuttings or careful division when the plant is mature.
• Space Needs: A compact foliage plant that works beautifully in smaller pots and grouped displays.
• Speed: A steady grower that rewards consistent care with fresh patterned leaves.
• Uninvited Guests: Watch for mealybugs and spider mites, especially in dry indoor air.
• Moving Day: Repot every 1–2 years when roots fill the nursery pot.
• Haircut: Remove older yellowing leaves at the base to keep her neat and full.
• Fresh Air: A dependable foliage plant that brings calm, leafy softness to indoor air.
• Plant Lore: Aglaonemas are known as Chinese Evergreens because they stay handsome and leafy even when indoor life is less than perfect.
