Most varieties of Aglaonema are low light plants & so they thrive indoor or in shades.

Javed, you can easily keep Thai Aglaonema in an area with bright but indirect light, they struggle in complete shade as well under direct sun, morning or late evening direct sun for 2 hrs maximum is best for them. The are not heavy feeders so monthly application of fertilizer is more then enough. They dont like wind also. Below are mine (last year's pictures), I have successfully propagated them from tip cutting:

Sorry friends. I forgot to activate email notification for this topic when I started it, and I was wodering that nobody replied.
Thanks Mir sb, Izhar sb and Baqar shah sb, for updating re aglaonema.

I remebered last year, when I visited few local nursuries, I found plenty of different varieties of this plant. Few days earlier I visited to get some, but I got dissoppointed when neither found a single one, they told me that due to unawarenes, we are not arranging to bring them. But I am very much interested to bring them from KHI.

Nearly all variety is appealing, but these two are so appleaing, I want to know are these available in KHI or LHR?
