Light and Temperature

Renowned as a low-light plant, the darker varieties of aglaonema are extremely popular as indoor plants in windowless offices. Lighter or colorful variegated varieties prefer a bit more indirect bright sunlight, but can also survive in fluorescent-lit bright office spaces, not close to a window.

Water and Humidity

Your colorful Chinese evergreens will be somewhat tolerant of low water conditions, but should never be left completely dry for long periods of time. Ideally, never allow the soil to dry more than 25-30% of the way down the pot before giving a deep water.In its natural environment, humidity is high enough that the plant will absorb some of its moisture from the air. You can mist your plant occasionally to bring up the humidity level, or place it on a pebble tray with water in it to offer extra moisture.
