Aglaonema nebulosum

A slender forest-floor Aglaonema from Malaya, Sumatra, Borneo and Java, with outlying populations in north-east India, growing 70–150 cm tall in moist shade near streams. It needs low light, steady moisture and high humidity. Plants from the Indian hills tolerate cooler nights than the Malesian lowland forms.

Where it grows wild

A terrestrial herb of the shaded forest floor, found in moist places beside streams. Stems are only 0.5–1 cm thick, and the leaves are about 20–26 cm long and 10–11 cm wide on petioles 5–27 cm long.

Indian populations grow at 1100–1600 m in montane subtropical forest. Elevations in Malesia were not found, and no wild records were usable for measuring.
