What Aglaonema brevispathum is
Aglaonema brevispathum is an upright houseplant from tropical rainforests. Its growth habit keeps the stems reaching toward the light rather than trailing over the side of a pot.
You will find this plant responds well to partial shade. Because it prefers high humidity, it can be a steady companion in a bright bathroom or a room where you keep other moisture-loving plants.
Caring for this plant involves keeping the soil moisture at a medium level. When you want to increase your collection, you can use a simple cutting to start a new plant.
