Notes
'Silver Queen' Chinese evergreen (Aglaonema 'Silver Queen') is a houseplant for containers, shade gardens, and low maintenance spaces. 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 is evergreen, so the leaves stay on the plant all year. The small white spadix with a greenish-yellow spathe can appear in any season.
Pairs well with N'Joy pothos, Staghorn fern, and Sprenger's asparagus fern.
