Aglaonema/Chinese Evergreen Plant

Don't have a green thumb? The Chinese Evergreen Plant is the perfect houseplant because it requires only minimal maintenance. With the ability to thrive indoors in an environment that other plants would quickly perish in, it doesn't mind low temperatures, aridity, and shady spots. It's a great air purifier as well! The only thing this pretty potted plant needs is occasional watering (so the soil doesn't become bone dry), and dusting.

Easy plants still require some TLC. A shallow pot will keep the plant in a healthy state which helps it avoid drought and smokey air. In the winter, it is best advised to nourish the plant with warm air. The Chinese Evergreen requires regular feedings, and occasional re-potting. Here are some general tips to keep your Chinese Evergreen plant lasting for a long time while always looking nice, fresh and lively:

Leaves Shrivelled Brown Tips - This is caused when the plant is exposed to dry air.

LeavesCurled, Brown Edges - Cold droughts and chilled air.

Insects - Bright light can cause the plant to attract red spider mite which can be a serious problem.

Aglaonemas are popular house plants, they are grown primarily for their large leaves structure.
