Cultivation methods and precautions of Chinese evergreen

1. Soil

Chinese evergreen likes loose, fertile, well-drained sandy loam. During the maintenance process, you can use leaf mold or peat, garden soil and river sand or perlite, mixed in a ratio of 4:3:2 for cultivation.

2. Lighting

The Chinese evergreen can tolerate partial shade, but prefers bright light. During the maintenance process, keep it in a bright place and try to avoid direct sunlight at noon in summer. It can accept direct sunlight in winter.

3. Watering

The soil in the pot should be kept slightly moist, but not too moist. Too much water can easily cause root rot. The drought tolerance of Chinese evergreen is quite high, so be sure not to overwater it.

4. Fertilizer

The requirements of Chinese evergreen for fertilizer are not very high, and it can grow relatively well under normal circumstances. When caring for it indoors, apply a thin liquid fertilizer once every half a month in spring and autumn, or put 5-10 grains of slow-release fertilizer in a pot.

Changing the soil once every 2-3 years is basically enough for its growth.

5. Notes

If there is enough water and the environment it is placed in is relatively dark, it will grow too tall. After the plant becomes too tall, you can use pruning to make it fuller and achieve a more ideal ornamental effect.
