Product Description

Chinese Evergreen, scientifically known as Aglaonema commutatum, is a popular and versatile indoor plant admired for its attractive foliage, ease of care, and air-purifying properties. Belonging to the Araceae family, this evergreen perennial is native to tropical and subtropical regions of Asia, including China, Indonesia, and the Philippines. Chinese Evergreen has a slow to moderate growth rate and typically reaches heights of 1 to 3 feet (30 to 90 cm) indoors, making it well-suited for tabletops, shelves, or as floor plants in larger spaces. In addition to its ornamental value, Chinese Evergreen is known for its air-purifying qualities, which help remove toxins such as formaldehyde and benzene from indoor air, promoting a healthier indoor environment

Planting Instructions

• Gently remove the Chinese Evergreen from its nursery container, taking care not to damage the roots.
• Place the plant in the center of the pot and fill in the remaining space with the potting mix, pressing down lightly to secure the plant.
• Ensure that the top of the root ball is level with the soil surface.
• Chinese Evergreen can be propagated from stem cuttings taken from healthy, mature plants. Place the cuttings in moist potting soil or water until roots develop, then transplant them into individual pots.

Plant Care

• Choose a location with low to moderate indirect light for your Chinese Evergreen. It can tolerate low light conditions but may not grow as vigorously.
• Avoid placing the plant in direct sunlight, as this can cause leaf burn.
• Maintain indoor temperatures between 60°F to 85°F (16°C to 29°C) for optimal growth.
• Water the plant thoroughly when the top inch of soil feels dry to the touch. Allow excess water to drain freely from the pot’s drainage holes.
• Feed the plant with a balanced liquid fertilizer diluted to half-strength every 4-6 weeks during the growing season (spring and summer).
• Prune any yellow or damaged leaves regularly to maintain the plant’s appearance and overall health.
