- Light
- low to bright indirect; one of the few plants that genuinely tolerates a dim corner; keep it out of direct sun
- Water
- let the top inch or two dry before watering; forgiving of the occasional missed week
- Toxicity
- toxic to dogs, cats and horses (ASPCA, listed as Aglaonema modestum): insoluble calcium oxalates cause oral irritation, pain and swelling of the mouth, tongue and lips, excessive drooling, vomiting and difficulty swallowing. Also poisonous to people (NC State Extension, low severity); the sap can irritate skin
Toxicity confirmed against ASPCA Animal Poison Control; NC State Extension Plant Toolbox.
