Aglaonema (Chinese Evergreen)

A low-light tolerant indoor plant known for its attractive foliage, resilience to dry air and drought, and minimal maintenance requirements. Ideal for homes and offices with limited natural light.

Care Requirements

  • Light:
    Thrives in low-light conditions. Prefers indirect or filtered light for optimal growth.

  • Watering:
    Performs best in consistently moist soil—avoid letting the soil dry out completely, but do not overwater or allow roots to sit in soggy soil.

  • Soil:
    Requires well-draining, consistently moist soil for healthy development.

  • Temperature:
    Grows best in temperatures between 68–77°F (20–25°C).

  • Fertilizer:
    Feed monthly with a balanced liquid fertilizer during spring and summer growing seasons.

Care Tips

  • Wipe leaves occasionally to remove dust and maintain optimal air-purifying function.

  • Rotate the plant periodically for even growth.

  • Avoid placing near heating or cooling vents.

Common Problems

  • Yellowing leaves: May indicate overwatering or poor drainage.

  • Brown leaf tips: Often caused by low humidity or dry air.

  • Leaf drop: Can result from sudden changes in temperature or light conditions.

Additional Information

  • Toxicity:
    This plant may be toxic to both humans and pets if ingested. Keep out of reach of small children and animals.

  • Pest Resistance:
    Generally pest-resistant, though it may be susceptible in environments with poor air circulation or low humidity.

  • Air Purification:
    Known for its air-purifying properties—helps remove indoor toxins such as carbon monoxide and benzene, while also improving ambient humidity levels.
