Chinese evergreen (Aglaonema commutatum)


Although much splashier than their solid-color cousin, the variegated types are just as easy to grow.

Light
These hardy plants will grow anywhere except in direct sun. however, the variegated types need medium-to-bright light to retain their flashy leaf markings.

Water
Keep soil barely moist at all times.

Special Helps
Use any all-purpose potting mixture, being sure to provide adequate drainage. Propagate by root division or by stem cutting from excessively tall plants.
