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.
Please note that the plant comes in a 12cm nursery pot as standard, unless a decorative pot cover is included as an option.

How to care for Aglaonema Crete:
Aglaonema grows best in bright, indirect light but will cope well in lower light areas too. Let the top inch of soil dry out before watering, preferably with rainwater, and always use a pot with good drainage to avoid waterlogging (ensure the pot is not sitting in water within a decorative cover).
Feed monthly with a balanced liquid fertiliser during spring and summer. Wipe the leaves occasionally to remove dust and keep them looking their best. This plant prefers warm conditions, so keep it above 16°C (61°F) and away from cold draughts.
In winter, reduce watering and allow the plant to rest. Increase humidity by misting the leaves regularly, especially in heated homes. Repot every few years in spring using a free-draining compost.
