One of the most common indoor house plants and office plants is the Aglaonema ‘Maria’ or, as it is more commonly called, the Chinese Evergreen plant. Aglaonema ‘Silver Queen’ is easy to care for and is great for use in an office or home environment. Aglaonema ‘Silver Queen’ is tolerant of lower light levels often found in the home or office. This tropical foliage plant is one of the most durable houseplants you can grow, tolerating poor light, dry air and drought.

Although they are tolerant of many growing conditions, following certain recommendations will yield greater results. This includes placing them in well-draining soil, preferably an equal mix of potting soil, perlite and sand. Chinese evergreen plants thrive in medium to low light conditions or indirect sunlight. They enjoy moderate watering—not too much, not too little. Allow the plant to dry out some between watering. Overwatering will lead to root rot. Older plants will sometimes produce flowers reminiscent of calla or peace lilies.
