# Does anyone know what this plant is? I’m not sure if it’s a Chinese…

Does anyone know what this plant is? I’m not sure if it’s a Chinese evergreen or a dieffenbachia? My scanner is giving me varied results. I’m a new plant owner, so I appreciate any guidance! Thank you :)

It sure looks like my aglaonema first diamond

But I can see how it could be a dieffenbachia compacta. I hope someone knows for sure because now I want to know too!

Definitely a Chinese evergreen. Here’s a photo of mine. I identified it after purchase via 3 plant apps, including Planta. The first photo is a few months old. The second is a photo I took just now.

Thank you so much!

I agree with aglaonema/Chinese evergreen. Which variety is another story 😂.

#### LadyTenorJD replied on 2025-10-20

🤣🤣🤣 Planta told me it is a "wintery winehouse." I think it goes by a few other names, but definitely aglaonema. 😆

hi,

this is an aglaonema wintry winehouse ☺️
