How to Make Friends with Chinese Evergreens

SOIL

Use an all-purpose potting mix.

LIGHT

Most Chinese evergreen plants do well in low light, such as that from a north-facing window. If you have a brightly colored variety, put it in a brighter location, such as an east-facing window.

WATER AND HUMIDITY

Water your Chinese evergreen when the top inch or two (2.5–5 cm) of the soil feels dry. It will tolerate an occasional missed watering. Humidity levels are not a particular issue with this plant.

TEMPERATURE

Room temperatures of 60–80°F (16–27°C) are suitable for this plant.

SIZE

The size of Chinese evergreens varies by species, but many plants are 1–2 feet (30–60 cm) tall.

BUGS AND DISEASE

Watch out for scale (page 41).

OTHER TIPS

The leaves tend to collect dust, so wipe them down periodically with a damp cloth.
