About Chinese Evergreen
Chinese evergreens have been growing in homes throughout Asia for centuries as symbols of good fortune. They were introduced to the Western world in 1885. Their ancestors were cultivated starting in the 1930s and became especially successful in Florida, where most foliage plants are now produced. 🤞

Finding light for Chinese Evergreen in your home

a window
Chinese Evergreen can tolerate being far from a window and light source.
Place it less than 6 feet from a south-facing window to ensure it receives enough light to survive 💪.
Select your region to see how the current weather in your area affects the placement of Chinese Evergreen in your home 🏡.
How to fertilize Chinese Evergreen

Most potting soils come with ample nutrients which plants use to produce new growth.
By the time your plant has depleted the nutrients in its soil it’s likely grown enough to need a larger pot anyway.
To replenish this plant's nutrients, repot your Chinese Evergreen after it doubles in size or once a year—whichever comes first.

What’s making my #Aglaonema sick?? This leaf has been yellowing over time, and today I finally yanked it out and only then did I notice these brown spots. Alglaonemas seem to just be problematic… but not ruling out operator error! Help, friends! 💚 #NotSoHappyPlants #ChineseEvergreen #Aglaonema #PlantAddict #PlantTherapy

This girl is giving me mix signals.. #Aglaonema , #Aglaonema , she’s fairly new and now blooming, but I don’t recall the pale color at the bottom of the stems. One leaf is also drying at one edge. Any ideas, anyone? One of the flowers was opened the day before yesterday and is now closed too.

#Aglaonema drama, continued… Follow up to my previous post about my sick aglaonema (and subsequent realization I have no idea what I’m doing)… @stephonicle & @Peachyhoyas had some really great advice so I’m hoping y’all keep it coming! Meet my problem children: 1. Elphaba - my first emerald beauty that ended up looking like the other 2, so it moved outside where it’s in all the wrong conditions yet doing fine, go figure 🙄 2. Elsa - the one currently in crisis. Some really valid points about rogue leaves and root rot that this hopefully addresses a bit better. 3. Aurora - another that followed the same pattern, but actually seems to be making a comeback (if I can get my act together)… 4. Glinda (who is going to have to change her name because I really just CANT have two plants named after Ariana Grande 😒) - my most recent emerald beauty, who I’ve had for at least a month and has done exactly nothing… I need ALLLLL THE ADVICE!! 🙏 #plantfriendsarethebestfriends #PlantsMakePeopleHappy #PlantTherapy #PlantTherapy
