Aglaonema Silver Bay 10 inch

Aglaonema silver bay, also known as Chinese evergreen, is known for the striking variegation on its leaves. This plant is insanely easy to care for, making it perfect for beginners.

Part of what makes Chinese evergreens so easy to care for is that while they thrive in bright to medium, indirect light, they still tend to do well in low light.

Water when the top two inches of the soil is dry. If it’s kept too wet, the leaves may start to turn yellow and drop off (but note that it’s normal for the bottom-most leaves to eventually yellow and die). If it’s kept REALLY wet, you might be at risk for root rot.

If your plant is looking a bit droopy that can be a sign that it needs a good watering, so be sure to feel the soil with your finger to confirm. As with all houseplants, those kept in brighter light will need to be watered more often and vice versa. These plants seem to do well in average home humidity, but if your home is exceptionally dry, you may want to mist your Chinese evergreen regularly, provide a humidifier or pebble tray, or group together with other plants.
