Chinese evergreen

Chinese evergreen is named 'golden papaya' because its gold-green leaves resemble the color of this fruit. These standout leaves also have distinctive pink veins. This bright tropical beauty makes a great houseplant. Since the parent plant grows on the forest floor, it is adapted to thrive in lowlight conditions.
