I bought this from my suki vendor in Farmer's Garden in Cubao two years ago. Their shop specializes in herbs and little shrubs. A pot of this Key Lime Aglaonema was selling for PhP 75.00 and very cheap, some of them were already flowering. This is a great indoor plant and survived a few months in my room that had no sunlight coming in. The leaves are large, resembling pechay, and also grows vigorously. It didn't require much maintenance. Unfortunately, I was new to it long ago and unintentionally killed it by putting it outdoor.
