Aglaonema vittatum

A small Aglaonema from eastern Sumatra and the Lingga Archipelago. Its stem is 10–15 cm tall and its narrow, lanceolate leaves are 6.5–10.5 cm long, sometimes with a white stripe along the midrib. It grows in primary lowland rainforest with no dry season, so it wants constant warmth, humidity and moisture. It suits a terrarium.
