Aglaonema, also known as Chinese Evergreens, are lush tropical houseplants that come in a great variety of variegated colors and shapes. It is also one of the best choices for filtering out harmful toxins in our indoor air, and a great option for beginners due to lower light tolerance!

Keep variegated Chinese Evergreens in medium indirect light
Near an east-facing window is ideal
Darker, green-leaf varieties can tolerate lower light
Keep out of direct sunlight
Water Needs
Water every 7-10 days
Requires good drainage; keep from sitting in water to avoid root rot
