Frequently asked questions
Chinese Evergreen
Will it flower?
Mature plants may produce a white spathe, but often not in low indoor light. Removing flowers directs energy to the leaves.
Can it live in a windowless room?
Not recommended. It tolerates lower light than many plants but still needs natural light from a window.
Is a bare lower stem normal?
Yes. Stems lengthen with age and lower leaves drop, so older plants can look leggy.
Why are the leaf edges turning brown?
Often dry air or a draughty spot; move it away from air-con vents and check you are not overwatering.
