Aglaonema 'Ghost' at a glance:
Aglaonema 'Ghost' softens interiors with smoky silver-grey foliage and pale cream to minty midribs, creating a desaturated, almost misted look that feels calmer than most more contrast-heavy Chinese evergreens. The clump remains compact to medium in size, often around 50–70 cm tall and wide, so it fits well on shelves, side tables, and in monochrome or cooler-toned interiors.
It descends from tropical understory species, which explains why it accepts low to medium indirect light and does not need full sun to look good, though stronger filtered light keeps the silvery tone cleaner. Water when the top portion of the mix dries, keep the substrate loose and well drained, and protect it from cold drafts or abrupt drops in temperature. Standard indoor humidity is usually workable, but a little extra moisture in the air helps the leaf edges stay cleaner and the growth remain more polished.

How to read these metrics
These metrics are standardised reference points. We compile them by reviewing and cross-checking multiple botanical and horticultural references, then refining them through real-world growing experience. Source links: Plant Care Resources.
Please use the values as guidance. Conditions vary by home, so the same plant can respond differently. For plant-specific context, read the full product description and browse our Plant Care Guides.
- Light: level + approximate lux at leaf level;
- Watering: “% dry” is the trigger before watering again; lower % stays more evenly moist.
- Potting mix: one-line profile (structure/drainage • moisture buffer • base • particle size).
- Temperature: “Ideal” comfort range; “Avoid below” marks higher stress risk.
- Humidity: target bands (Normal/Moist/Humid); consistency usually matters most.
- Growth habit: growth form (rosette, trailing, climbing) for placement and training.
- Support: needed/optional/none, whether stake, pole, or trellis improves structure and size.
- Growth speed: fast/average/slow under decent indoor conditions—expectations, not a promise.
- Max size indoors: realistic long-term potential; format differs for climbers vs. trailers.
- Toxicity & safety: chemical irritants/toxicity and physical hazards (spines, bristles).
- Origin & habitat: native region + typical biome/habitat as context.
