Scientific Name
Aglaonema (shining thread)
Common Name
Chinese Evergreen, Philippine Evergreen, Poison Dart Plant
Origin
Tropical and subtropical Asia and New Guinea
Light
Likes medium, indirect light; this plant can cope well in shadier spots.
Water
Allow the top third of the soil to dry out in between waters; keep in mind it will need slightly less watering in the cooler months.
Humidity
Average household humidity is fine; keep an eye out for leaf browning which indicates too dry air. Will benefit from an occasional mist or hose down to keep it free of dust.
Soil
Use a coarse, well-draining soil and repot every couple of years as it grows.
Food
Feed every four waters in the growing season, reduce to every six in autumn and winter.
Temperature
Ideally likes room temperatures of 18-26°C, make sure it doesn't drop below 12°C in winter.
Pet-safe
No, this plant is toxic to pets and small humans.
Sprouts Top Tips
Always water with lukewarm water, and let tapwater stand for 24 hours before using it. If you notice a loss of variegation, try moving it to a brighter location!
