I agree, with the ID of Chinese Evergreen (Aglaonema commutatum) Chinese Evergreen (Aglaonema modestum) has solid green leaves. ~ I'm an old gal who still loves playing in the dirt! ~ Playing in the dirt is my therapy ... and I'm in therapy a lot! |

| @Pirl - the leaf shape does look more like a maranta than Aglaonema. It was my first impression too. Maybe it is 'Emerald Beauty'. |

| I don't believe Maranta makes stems like that over time though. Resmebles an Aglaonema more in that respect to me. |

| Yes, I think we agree it is not maranta. I just mentioned that in response to Arlene's comment. First impression of the leaves on the left look more like maranta before you take in the rest of the plant. |

First impression of the leaves on the left look more like maranta before you take in the rest of the plant. Oh I see. I misunderstood what you were saying (or more like, misread). I could see where one could see Maranta, seeing leaves only. |
