Aglaonema ‘Silver Bay’ – Chinese Evergreen

Aglaonema ‘Silver Bay’ is a premium, low-maintenance tropical foliage plant prized for its broad, lance-shaped leaves featuring a soft silver center framed by deep green margins. Its symmetrical growth habit and upright form make it ideal for desks, entryways, offices, and low-light interiors. Selected for durability and consistent coloration, ‘Silver Bay’ tolerates indoor conditions better than most tropical plants and maintains a clean, architectural look year-round. It is widely used in commercial interiors because of its adaptability to artificial light and stable humidity levels.

• Fertilizer: Feed monthly during active growth (spring–summer) with a balanced liquid fertilizer diluted to half strength.
• Temperature: Keep above 60°F; avoid cold drafts and AC vents.
• Maintenance: Wipe leaves occasionally to remove dust and maintain variegation clarity; remove yellowing leaves at the base.
