Notes

Chinese evergreen (Aglaonema hybrids) is a houseplant for containers, shade gardens, and low maintenance spots. It grows outdoors year-round in USDA zone 10 and warmer, down to about 30°F (-1°C). In colder areas, grow it as a houseplant or bring it indoors for winter. This plant likes part sun to full shade and average to moist soil of most types. It stays evergreen and grows 12 to 24 inches tall and wide.
