Aglaonema ‘Crete’ (Chinese Evergreen)

A tough and undemanding house plant, this Chinese evergreen is perfect for the novice or busy indoor gardener, who wants to introduce a bright splash of colourful foliage without having too much fuss and bother. The leaves are variously marbled in shades of reddish-pink, green and creamy white, so it really is quite eye-catching.

Keep away from draughts and water sparingly in winter. Maintain temperatures above 16°C and mist the leaves regularly to increase humidity. Repot (preferably into a shallow pot) every 3 years or so in spring.

Supplied in a 12 cm pot
