This is an indoor houseplant that seems to grow ok in very little direct sunlight (rather like a philodendron). But it grows very slowly. It's about 18 inches tall, with a small number of big leaves measuring about 6-8" long each and a few inches wide.
Thank you for your feedback.

It is a Chinese evergreen aka Chinese good fortune plant, or aglaonema.
It is a good house plant for low light conditions and a good office plant since it does well under flourescent lighting. It has a bonus, it helps clean the air. Diffenbachia usually has harder canes that grow upright and a different leaf pattern with greener leaves. Aglaonema has more blue gray leaves and the pattern looks more like your plant. Aglaonema has soft stems.

Thank you both for your replies. Yes, from reading your description and the links, I believe it's definitely the "Chinese evergeen."
It's amazing it grows so well in so little light. Thanks for your links as I learned some things I didn't know about how to care for it. Now it will be a happy plant! Cheers.
