Caring for your Chinese evergreen is easy. Let the water sit for a few hours before watering to allow the chlorination to evaporate. Never let the soil dry out. Chinese Evergreens do not like direct sunlight. Your plant will thrive if your home is heated to a comfy 70-75 degrees.
Growth does slow if the temperature indoors is colder than that.
They can handle drafts for a short period of time but with show leaf damage if temperatures stay consistently below 50 degrees. Fertilize with a general houseplant fertilizer, following the directions on the bottle. Too much fertilizer will burn the roots and cause the leaves to yellow. Low humidity is not a problem for the Aglaonemas and they have very few pest or disease problems. All rights reserved.
