About Aglaonema 'Spring Snow'
Spring Snow is a widely available Aglaonema cultivar carrying heavy cream and white speckling over a green blade, giving mature leaves a frosted, almost snow-dusted appearance. Like most Aglaonema cultivars it is a compact, clumping, extremely low-maintenance houseplant, tolerant of low light and irregular watering, which has made it a mainstay of UK offices and low-fuss interior planting.
