Sunlight
Full sun, especially through glass, will scorch the exposed leaves. Aglaonema plants will survive in low light but will become thin and leggy. For a nice looking plant, try to provide bright, diffused natural light or some artificial fluorescent light. This plant will do quite well with just artificial lighting.
Temperature
Aglaonema houseplants like average warmth between 65-75°. These plants do not like cold drafts or temperatures below 65 degrees. Be sure to keep it away from drafty windows or vents, and the warmer the spot you can find, the better.
Additional
Although it prefers some humidity and warmth, it's fairly adaptable. The plant's also known for its ability to filter pollutants out of indoor air. The one drawback of aglaonema is that it's toxic to pets, meaning it can be tricky to grow in a home with cats or dogs.
