Care instructions

Chinese Evergreens are relatively low-maintenance. They thrive in medium to low light conditions, avoiding direct sunlight which can scorch their leaves. Water thoroughly when the top inch of soil feels dry, but do not let the plant sit in standing water as this can lead to root rot. They prefer high humidity, which can be achieved by misting or placing the pot on a pebble tray with water. Fertilize sparingly during the growing season (spring and summer) with a balanced liquid fertilizer.
