CARING
FOR
CHINESE
EVERGREEN
The Chinese evergreen (Aglaonema vittata) is a leafy, green plant that
thrives in tropical forests or other areas of high humidity, partial
light, and moist soil. A common houseplant, the Chinese evergreen
flourishes in shady gardens or near humid areas of a home such as a
kitchen or bath.
Chinese Evergreen
Light Requirements
As a tropical forest plant, most varieties of Aglaonema thrive best in
filtered light to partial shade but never direct sunlight. Chinese
evergreens perform very well as houseplants or grown out of doors in a
shady bed in frost-free areas.
Chinese Evergreen
Water Requirements
Chinese evergreens require an evenly moist soil environment and high
humidity. Aglaonema cannot tolerate dry air. Water the plant until the
soil is moderately moist. Allow a bit of drying out between watering
as heavy or excessive watering may lead to fungal problems such as stem
or root rot. If watering with common tap water, allow the open container
to sit for a few minutes to allow any chlorine to evaporate.
Chinese Evergreen
Fertilizer Requirements
Grow Chinese evergreens in peat based potting mix or a soil mixture
containing perlite. Apply a balanced liquid fertilizer (20-20-20)
every 2-3 weeks during the growing season; reduce the applications
during the winter season. For outdoor plants, grow in well-drained
and moderately fertile soil enriched with humus.
Chinese Evergreens
Pests & Diseases
Chinese evergreens (Aglaonema vittata) are sensitive to insect and
pathogen problems. Common insects affecting the Chinese evergreen
include scale insects, mealy bugs, spider mites, and aphids. Pathogen
(fungal and bacterial) problems usually occur in plants that have been
heavily watered. Stem and root rot are common fungal problems for
Aglaonema along with fungal leaf spots for plants that have been
sprayed and Dasheen mosaic virus in some plants.
Chinese Evergreens
Propagation & Potting
Propagate Chinese evergreens by separating basal shoots with 3-4 leaves
and preferably attached root growth. Other options include propagating
by division in the spring or the fairly difficult option of tip cutting
with bottom heat. Cuttings may be rooted in soil or water year round.

GROWING
CHINESE
EVERGREEN
PLANTS IN WATER
Select a healthy stem that is at least 6 inches tall and cut just
below a node. A node is a bump on a plant stem where leaves emerge.
Remove any lower leaves on the stem before placing in a vase
Fill the vase with water so that the water reaches to cover just
the bottom of the stem. Do not submerge the whole stem in water
or it will rot.
Place the cutting in a medium light spot with no direct sunlight.
Temperatures should be between 60 and 80°.
Change the water every two days to refresh the o then exchange.
Old stagnant water does not conduct oxygen which the plant needs
to grow roots.
Roots will start to emerge within a week to two weeks.
Leave your rooted cuttings in water in definitely. Although your
cuttings have roots and are technically able to be planted in soil,
they will be healthier and more vigorous as a water plant.
