Aglaonema (Chinese Evergreen): Vibrant Colour Made Easy

Looking for a houseplant that delivers a spectacular splash of colour without the high-maintenance drama? Meet the Aglaonema, also known as the Chinese Evergreen. This plant is a true showstopper, celebrated for its stunningly patterned leaves and its wonderfully forgiving nature. It's the perfect partner for both new plant parents and seasoned enthusiasts who want maximum visual impact with minimum fuss.

Why You'll Love Your Chinese Evergreen

• A Living Work of Art: The leaves are nature's canvas. From deep greens speckled with silver to vibrant reds and soft pinks, each variety is unique. An Aglaonema doesn't just occupy a space; it brings it to life.
• Effortless to Care For: Forget to water? Is your home a bit on the darker side? The Chinese Evergreen is famously resilient. It adapts to lower light conditions and forgives occasional neglect, making it the ideal plant for busy lives and less-than-perfect environments.
• Natural Air Purifier: More than just a pretty face, the Aglaonema works hard to improve your indoor air quality. It's known to filter common airborne toxins like formaldehyde and benzene, making your home a healthier, more beautiful place to be.

Expert Care Guide: Keep Your Aglaonema Thriving

Follow these simple steps to ensure your plant flourishes.

• Light: Prefers bright, indirect light to maintain its vibrant colouring but is a champion of lower light conditions. Perfect for north-facing windows. Keep out of direct sunlight, which can scorch its leaves.
• Watering: Water thoroughly when the top 2-3 cm of soil feel dry. Never let it sit in water. Using filtered or rainwater is a plus. Reduce watering in autumn and winter.
• Humidity: As a tropical native, it loves high humidity. Boost moisture by misting the leaves a few times a week, placing it in a bathroom, or grouping it with other plants.
• Fertilising: From spring through summer, feed it once a month with a balanced liquid fertiliser diluted to half-strength. Do not fertilise during the winter.
