How to Care for the Chinese Evergreen Indoors

Chinese Evergreens, known for removing toxins and other impurities from the air, can make excellent indoor plants. This hybrid plant originated in the subtropical forests of Southeast Asia and features large green leaves with shades of silver and white. The Aglaonema hybrids can be found in homes across the United States. The Chinese Evergreen is easy to care for and grow because of its ability to adapt to an array of environments.

Instructions

- 1
  Keep your Chinese Evergreens in warm environments. To stay healthy, these plants should never be exposed to temperatures below 55 degrees F. You will notice gray and yellow patches on the leaves of your Chinese Evergreens if exposed to cold temperatures.
- 2
  Water the plants so the soil of your Chinese Evergreens is constantly moist. Don’t be afraid of overwatering since these plants can actually grow in standing water alone.
- 3
  Add pothos or another type of low-light plant to the Chinese Evergreens if the plants appear stale or isolated. Never prune Chinese Evergreens; doing so can hinder the growth of the plant and potentially kill it.
- 4
  Use regular potting mix soil when planting or transplanting your Chinese Evergreens.
