Aglaonema 'Silver Bay'

Aglaonema Silver Bay

One of the most common Chinese evergreen varieties, Silver Bay bears silvery leaves outlined in rich, deep green. It is one of the best plants for beginners (or folks too busy to keep most houseplants alive). It also has cute, calla-lily-like blooms in spots where it gets enough light.

Lighting: it tolerates low light well, but also grows well in bright spots. It doesn't even need natural light to thrive. It also does fine in offices with fluorescent lighting. 

Watering:  Water regularly, keeping the soil evenly moist, or water once every few weeks and Chinese evergreen will do equally well.

Fertilization: It doesn't require  but will grow best if fertilized once or twice a year in spring or summer (or every six months) with a general-purpose houseplant fertilizer.
