Aglaonema Silver Queen (Aglaonema commutatum)
A timeless classic of indoor elegance — featuring broad, silver-green leaves that shimmer with sophistication and thrive effortlessly in low light.
The Aglaonema Silver Queen, also known as the Chinese Evergreen, is a graceful, low-maintenance indoor plant admired for its broad, lance-shaped leaves marbled in silver and green. Native to the tropical forests of Southeast Asia and a proud member of the Araceae family, this variety embodies both beauty and resilience, making it one of the most sought-after plants for modern interiors.
Its lush, symmetrical foliage creates a refined, structured silhouette that elevates tabletops, corners, and office spaces with understated luxury. The Silver Queen’s variegation — shimmering tones of silvery white brushed over deep green — gives it a sleek, contemporary look that pairs perfectly with minimalist décor and low-light environments.
One of its most appealing traits is its exceptional adaptability. It thrives in low to medium indirect light, tolerates occasional neglect, and grows steadily year-round. Keep the soil evenly moist but never waterlogged, allowing the top layer to dry before watering again. A well-draining mix and moderate humidity will encourage healthy, glossy leaves.
Beyond its beauty, Aglaonema Silver Queen is also an excellent natural air purifier, known to remove common indoor toxins and enhance overall air quality. While easy to care for, it should be kept out of reach of pets and children, as ingestion can cause mild irritation due to calcium oxalate content.
At Acacia, each Aglaonema Silver Queen is chosen for its vibrant variegation, symmetrical growth, and lush fullness, ensuring your plant not only thrives but also brings enduring elegance to your space.
