my friends know that I love my office plants, and plants in general

yesterday in a supermarket noticed an abandoned plant with huge leaves and in a very bad shape > bought it and posted few photos at a sub /plants for IDing it https://www.reddit.com/r/plants/comments/11htg5z/bought_myself_an_abandoned_plant_at_a_supermarket/

Continued reading /plants subreddits wiki section https://www.reddit.com/r/plants/wiki/index/ and stumbled upon a plant "Chinese Evergreen"

.. and in the varieties of "Chinese Evergreen" saw a word "Maria"

The first one, of course: Aglaonema Maria (Chinese Evergreen).. as this thread idea was triggered by noticing this plant

==

Aglaonema Maria is a cultivar of the Aglaonema plant, which is also known as Chinese evergreen. It is a popular houseplant that is known for its attractive foliage and ease of care. The Aglaonema Maria cultivar is named for its green leaves, which are heavily variegated with silver markings.

Aglaonema Maria prefers bright, indirect light and moderate to high humidity. The plant should be watered regularly but not overwatered, as it can be susceptible to root rot if the soil stays too wet. The plant can also benefit from occasional misting or being placed on a pebble tray to increase humidity around the plant.

Aglaonema plants are generally considered to be non-toxic to pets and humans, although ingestion of large quantities of the plant's leaves or stems can cause gastrointestinal upset. Overall, Aglaonema Maria is a beautiful and easy-to-care-for houseplant that can add a touch of greenery to any indoor space.
