Product description

Snow White Chinese Evergreen | Aglaonema ‘Snow White’ | Snow White Aglaonema | Chinese Evergreen ‘Snow White’ Snow White Chinese Evergreen is a mesmerizing, shade-loving tropical aroid (widely grown as a spectacular indoor house plant) prized for its striking, broad, lance-shaped leaves heavily splashed and speckled with stunning, luminous white and cream variegation against a rich green background. This exceptionally tough, highly adaptable selection is known for its remarkable, densely bushy habit and bold, painted foliage that creates a dramatic, eye-catching statement piece for any collection, perfectly suited for independent, small-scale plant cultivation. It thrives in ambient household humidity and easily tolerates everything from bright, indirect light to heavily shaded corners, making it a spectacular, low-maintenance thriller for indoor tabletops, dimly lit living spaces, and shaded summer patio containers. With its bold, exotic texture and uniquely brightened foliage, Snow White offers an extraordinary display of vibrant, tropical beauty with exceptionally straightforward care. Growing Snow White Chinese Evergreen Light: Bright to low, indirect light; thrives in dappled shade or near a window when grown indoors, but is remarkably tolerant of lower light conditions. It requires strict protection from harsh, direct sunlight, which will easily scorch its delicate, highly variegated leaves, though extreme shade may cause it to slowly lose some of its striking white vibrancy and revert to a darker green. Soil: Rich, airy, well-drained soil; prefers a highly organic, chunky houseplant potting mix amended with perlite and fine orchid bark to retain adequate moisture while ensuring excellent aeration and drainage. It is extremely susceptible to root rot in heavy, waterlogged soils. Water: Moderate; water regularly to keep the soil evenly moist, allowing the top inch or two of soil to dry out completely between waterings. It strongly dislikes being completely dried out, but absolutely will not tolerate sitting in standing water. Maintenance: Exceptionally low maintenance. Wipe the broad, splashed leaves occasionally with a damp cloth to remove dust and maintain their brilliant appearance. Keep the plant away from cold drafts, air conditioners, and heating vents to prevent environmental stress and premature leaf drop. Wildlife: Generally grown indoors; its sap contains toxic calcium oxalate crystals and is mildly toxic to pets if ingested. Outdoors, its thick foliage is naturally deer-resistant. Hardiness: Perennial in USDA zones 10–11; widely grown as a spectacular, fast-growing shade annual in cooler regions or overwintered indoors as a vibrant, year-round house plant.
