What type of plant is this?

I purchased this plant on a whim because it’s gorgeous, but no one gave me a description. What kind of plant is this, I want to make sure to keep it healthy.

While it might be a form of dieffenbachia, I believe it is a Aglaonema or chinese evergreen. This plant will do well in varying amounts of light. Because it is variegated, bright diffused light would be best, however in lower light situations you may see new grown with more green and less sliver of the foliage.
