Summary
Featuring bright cherry red leaves with dark green freckled edge and stems, this stunning houseplant is suprisingly low maintenance. Chinese Evergreens appreciate moisture in the air, so place in bathrooms or mist occasionally, and prefer to be on the drier side. To keep the colours bright, provide lots of bright (indirect) sunlight and water when the top two inches of soil are dry.
