Common Name:
Chinese Evergreen 'Jade Queen'
Description:
Aglaonema 'Jade Queen' is a refined and elegant variety of Chinese Evergreen, featuring glossy, lance-shaped leaves in a rich jade green with subtle silvery variegation that adds texture and lightness. This cultivar is prized for its neat, symmetrical form and consistent colouring, making it an ideal choice for contemporary interiors where a clean, natural aesthetic is desired. In Melbourne's climate, 'Jade Queen' is best grown indoors, thriving in low to moderate light and appreciating a warm, stable environment. It performs well in free-draining soil with regular, moderate watering—allowing the top layer to dry out between waterings to prevent overwatering. Slow-growing and low-maintenance, this is a hardy, reliable plant that adds long-lasting greenery with minimal fuss. Perfect for pots, desktops, or grouped with other foliage plants for a calming indoor display.
