Chinese evergreens have large, narrow, and glossy oval leaves on short stems. Their colours variations from dark green an silver to red, add a personality to your homes decor. An excellent indoor foliage plant.
Light
Darker green varieties can grow in near shade, while the variegated varieties require more bright light. Do not expose any variety to direct sunlight, as the harsh rays can easily burn the leaves.
Soil
Well drained, slightly acidic potting soil is perfect for the plant. Adding sand or perlite is also welcome to help with drainage.
Water
Chinese evergreens thrive in moist but not water logged soil. Water plant thoroughly, then allow it to dry out before watering again. In winter, taper off on the watering’s, but never allow the plant to completely dry out.
Fertilizer
Use a slow release or liquid fertilizer twice a year, at the beginning and end of the growing season.
Growth
Chinese evergreens are slow growing. Most plants will fall in the 1-3 foot tall and wide size.
Pet Friendly? No, toxic to cats and dogs.
