Water: Originating from tropical rainforests, chinese evergreens thrives in high humidity and moist soil, showing moderate drought tolerance. Regular weekly watering and periodic misting enhance its lush foliage and vibrant leaf coloration, making it ideal for indoor growth as an evergreen plant.

Fertilize: For chinese evergreens, apply balanced fertilizers monthly in spring/summer at half-strength to support growth, reducing to every 6-8 weeks in fall/winter. Proper fertilization prevents root burn; use liquid fertilizers for controlled dosing. Always water chinese evergreens before and after fertilizing to protect sensitive roots.

Pruning: Chinese evergreens thrives with vibrant foliage and requires pruning in early to late spring during active growth. Remove discolored leaves and stems, shorten leggy growth to promote bushiness, and promptly dispose of dead foliage to enhance overall health and visual appeal.

Propagation: Chinese evergreens thrives indoors due to its attractive foliage. For propagation, use cuttings with both stem and leaf, allowing cut surfaces to dry briefly. Insert into a moist, well-draining medium, covering for humidity. Provide warmth and indirect sunlight to promote successful rooting.
