I was gifted this plant yesterday. Label of info missing. Was bought at Lowes. Found out it was under their shaded section, and thought perhaps it's name started with an "A".

I like it! Need to know what it is, to take care of it properly. The Lowes it was purchased from is over an hour away from me. My local Lowes does not have this.

Would appreciate your input. Thanks ahead. Diane

It may be a Cordyline such was 'Bolero bicolor' or 'Bolero tricolor'.

Definitely red aglaonema. I have one from Lowes that looks very similar, bought two or three years ago.

Now that I have been gifted this pretty....darn..I thought when I got it, I could put it outside in my shaded property, but it's a houseplant (not hardy in zone 8a) and I have 4 inside kitties, and this is poisonous as well. hmmmm... maybe convert to a hanging plant?? to tantalize my frisky cats as well (grin)
