Chinese evergreen

Care snapshot

Tropical foliage plant suited to bright indirect light and moderate indoor humidity. Allow the top layer of soil to dry slightly between waterings and use a well-draining potting mix. Keep away from pets because the plant contains insoluble calcium oxalates.

Draft seed — not medical or emergency advice. Human review pending.
