Chinese Evergreen, Butterfly

Scientific Name: Aglaonema Common Name: Chinese Evergreen "Butterfly" Originally native to Asia and New Guinea, Chinese Evergreens have become a global staple in the houseplant community. Belonging to the arum family Araecae (along with other notable houseplant celebs like begonias, calla lilies, and monsteras!), these subtropical plants are well-loved as both houseplants and outdoor perennials. When mature, these plants form compact bushes that burst with brilliance and personality- with a wide range of colorful variegations and cultivars, there is a Chinese Evergreen out there for everyone!  The Butterfly Chinese Evergreen has rich green leaves with lovely pink and cream variegations that some might say resemble a butterfly's wings. The stems are a light pinkish green and offer a stunning contrast to the darker green foliage.  Basic Needs: Bright, indirect light. These plants are prone to overwatering; water when soil is mostly dry but also do not let dry out for extended periods! These plants enjoy higher humidity but are tolerant of low humidity as well. If your plant is losing color, increase amount of light- but still avoid direct sun! ***Due to the unique nature of plants, the one we carefully choose for you won't look exactly like the photos- but it will be just as beautiful!
