I have this AGLONEMA COMMUTATUM/Silver queen plant in my garden. The buds have not bloomed for almost 3 weeks now. Kindly tell me if they take long to bloom or have they died or am I mistaking something else as buds?

Regards

Bhagyashri

Madhuri is, it is already flowering. The white spoon like structure that you see is not bud but spathe, and you can see a brownish finger-like structure emerging from one of these. This collection of flowers known as spadix, flowers are very small though.

Small correction. The generic name is Aglaonema.
Cheers,
