This is also a handy way to tell if your plant is getting enough light; if new leaves are growing without this patterning it means it could do with a bit more light. Your Amazon Silver is used to the shady undergrowth, though, so won't want to be in your brightest window - its foliage can brighten up another corner of the room to really lift your interior aesthetic. Make a statement with this gorgeous plant's upright growth, which can grow up to a metre tall indoors (!) and enjoy its funky foliage for years to come.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eScientific Name\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cspan data-sheets-root=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAglaonema \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e'Amazon Silver' (shining thread plant, variety: Amazon silver)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan data-sheets-root=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThis variety is probably a hybrid variety of two species in the genus Aglaonema.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eCommon Name\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003eChinese Evergreen, Philippine Evergreen, Poison Dart Plant\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cstyle type=\"text\/css\"\u003e\u003c!--td {border: 1px solid #cccccc;}br {mso-data-placement:same-cell;}--\u003e\u003c\/style\u003e\n\u003cstyle type=\"text\/css\"\u003e\u003c!--td {border: 1px solid #cccccc;}br {mso-data-placement:same-cell;}--\u003e\u003c\/style\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eOrigin\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cspan data-sheets-root=\"1\"\u003eNative to Southeast Asia, especially Thailand and Indonesia\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eLight\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cspan data-sheets-root=\"1\"\u003eLikes bright, indirect light; too little natural light and you may lose the variegation - so keep an eye out for this as your plant acclimatises!\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eWater\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003eAllow the top third of the soil to dry out in between waters; keep in mind it will need slightly less watering in the cooler months.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eHumidity\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cspan data-sheets-root=\"1\"\u003eAverage household humidity is fine, but if you spot the leaf edges turning brown and crispy it will appreciate the introduction of a humidity tray to increase local humidity.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eSoil\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cspan data-sheets-root=\"1\"\u003eAdelonema will grow best in a chunky soil medium with a mixture of aeration and moisture retention.
