Costa Farms Chinese Evergreen (Aglaonema) Live Indoor Plant — 6" Ceramic Planter, 14" Tall, Easy-Care Low-Light

Costa Farms Chinese Evergreen (Aglaonema) is a low-maintenance, decorative indoor houseplant with large white-and-green leaves that bring tropical style to compact spaces.

Whether you're updating a living room, brightening a desk, or adding greenery to a bathroom, this Aglaonema arrives potted in a 6-inch ceramic planter at about 14 inches tall. Native to warm regions, it adapts well to indoor life and tolerates a range of light levels, making it a favorite for both first-time plant owners and experienced collectors seeking an attractive, easy-care specimen.

How much light does the Chinese Evergreen need?

Aglaonema thrives in medium, indirect light but is one of the most tolerant houseplants for lower-light spots. Avoid harsh direct sun, which can scorch the leaves; filtered light or a bright room out of direct rays is ideal.

• Best: medium, indirect light — e.g., a few feet from an east or north window.
• Acceptable: low light — suitable for offices, bathrooms with small windows, or dim corners.
• Avoid: prolonged direct afternoon sun that can cause leaf burn.

What is the watering routine for this Aglaonema?

This plant prefers a steady but moderate watering rhythm. Water roughly one cup per week as a starting point, then adjust based on potting mix dryness and your home's humidity and temperature.

• Rule of thumb: let the top inch of soil dry before watering again.
• In winter or low-activity periods, reduce frequency to prevent overwatering.
• Ensure the ceramic pot drains well or place on a saucer to avoid root sogginess.

Where can I display the Chinese Evergreen in my home?

Aglaonema's compact form and attractive variegated leaves make it versatile for many rooms. It fits well on tabletops, shelves, bedrooms, bathrooms with some light, or patios during warm months.

• Living rooms and dens: adds a lush focal point without overwhelming space.
• Bedrooms and bathrooms: works in lower light and adds a soft, tropical touch.
• Small spaces: ideal for desks, side tables, and entryway consoles.

Does this plant require special care or equipment?

No specialized tools are necessary — basic plant care supplies and a little routine attention are enough. Occasional leaf cleaning and ensuring proper drainage will keep the plant healthy and looking its best.

• Maintenance: wipe leaves gently to remove dust and keep foliage glossy.
• Soil: use a well-draining, indoor potting mix if repotting becomes necessary.
• Pest check: inspect for common indoor pests and treat promptly if found.
