Costa Farms Chinese Evergreen (Aglaonema) Live Indoor Plant — 6-inch White Planter, Easy-Care Tropical Foliage

Costa Farms Chinese Evergreen (Aglaonema) is a compact, easy-care indoor plant with colorful broad leaves that ships ready-to-display in a 6-inch white planter.

Bring a low-maintenance tropical accent into your home with this Aglaonema from Costa Farms' Trending Tropicals Collection. Designed for tabletops, shelves, and small corners, this variety offers attractive foliage and forgiving light needs that suit busy households and first-time plant owners. Each plant ships from the grower packaged for travel and arrives approximately 14–15 inches tall from pot base to leaf tip.

How much light does this Chinese Evergreen need?

The Aglaonema prefers medium, indirect light — think a bright room or an east-facing window that receives morning sun. Avoid harsh direct afternoon sun, which can scorch leaves. It tolerates lower light better than many houseplants, but variegated varieties keep their color longer with consistent medium light.

• Ideal: 3–5 hours of indirect sunlight daily (near an East window).
• Too much sun: direct afternoon rays may cause brown leaf edges.
• Low-light tolerance: survives in dimmer rooms but growth slows and variegation may fade.

What is the watering routine for healthy growth?

Water only when the top two inches of soil feel dry — usually every 7–10 days depending on indoor conditions. Because the included 6-inch composite planter has no drainage holes, pour water carefully to avoid soggy soil and use roughly one cup of water as a starting point for a 6" pot. Never let the plant sit in standing water to prevent root issues.

• Check soil moisture before watering; allow top 2 inches to dry first.
• Starter guideline: ~1 cup of water for the 6" non-draining planter; adjust by environment.
• If repotting into a drained container, ensure excess water can escape to avoid rot.

When and how should I repot or fertilize the plant?

This Aglaonema is a moderate grower and will need repotting when roots crowd the current container. Repot into a slightly larger pot with fresh potting mix, then water thoroughly. Feed with a balanced, general-purpose houseplant fertilizer during spring and summer following the package directions to support seasonal growth.

• Repot when roots emerge from the soil or the plant becomes root-bound.
• Use a pot one size larger and fresh potting soil to fill gaps around roots.
• Fertilize in warmer months with a general houseplant fertilizer per label instructions.

How will this plant arrive and what makes it authentic Costa Farms?

Each plant ships from Costa Farms' growers and is hand-selected for quality, packaged to minimize travel stress, and sent in the included 6-inch white composite planter. Costa Farms plants are potted in premium soil with slow-release fertilizer and marked by authenticity when sold directly by the brand. Note: third-party sellers may not offer the same sourcing or packaging.

• Ships at roughly 14–15 inches tall measured from the pot base to the top foliage.
• Arrives in a white, mixed-material 6" planter without drainage holes to prevent spills.
• Look for "ships from & sold by Costa Farms" to ensure genuine product quality.

Who is this plant best for? If you want a decorative, low-fuss indoor plant that adds color and texture to small spaces, the Costa Farms Chinese Evergreen is a great fit. It suits apartment dwellers, busy professionals, and anyone looking to start a houseplant collection without complex care requirements. Keep it out of reach of children and pets, as Costa Farms plants are not intended for consumption, and note shipping restrictions for certain U.S. states and territories.
