Chinese Evergreen
Chinese evergreen (Aglaonema) is a popular houseplant known for its lush foliage and easy care. It features broad, glossy leaves in various shades of green, often with stripes or speckles. This resilient plant thrives in low to moderate light conditions and can tolerate occasional neglect. It prefers well-draining soil and benefits from regular watering, allowing the top few inches of soil to dry out between waterings. Chinese evergreen adds a touch of elegance to indoor spaces and is suitable for offices, living rooms, and other areas with low light.
Watering: Fully water, allowing drainage. Let soil dry a bit between waterings, especially in winter. Check soil moisture before watering. Avoid overwatering. Light: Place in bright, indirect light. Suitable for offices with fluorescent lighting. Temperature: Keep between 65–80°F, away from drafts and heater vents. Humidity: Maintain 60–70% humidity. Increase by misting, humidifiers, or pebble trays. Circulate air to prevent issues. Soil: Use well-draining mix with perlite or moss. Repot yearly if watering frequently. Fertilizer: Feed every 6 weeks to twice a year with all-purpose fertilizer. Outdoor: In warm months, outdoor placement possible above 55°F, but monitor watering closely.
