Aglaonema, commonly referred to as Chinese Evergreen, includes many varieties, some of which are simply known as “green” Aglaonema due to their predominantly green foliage. These plants are appreciated for their attractive leaves, ease of care, and ability to thrive in low-light conditions.

Characteristics:

  • Foliage: Large, lance-shaped leaves that are primarily green, sometimes with subtle patterns or variegation in lighter green or silver shades. The leaves are glossy and can grow up to 6-12 inches long.
  • Size: Typically grows to about 1-3 feet (30-90 cm) in height and width, depending on the specific variety and growing conditions.

Care Tips:

  • Light: Thrives in low to moderate light conditions.
  • Watering: Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Water thoroughly when the top inch of soil feels dry.
  • Soil: Prefers well-draining soil. A mix of regular potting soil with perlite or sand works well.
  • Temperature: Prefers temperatures between 18-27°C. Protect from cold drafts and avoid temperatures below 15°C.
  • Humidity: Prefers higher humidity levels but can adapt to average household humidity.
