Product description
Aglaonema Maria Christina is a very pristine looking indoor plant that can be housed with immense pride. This plant boasts some very neat and clean looking foliage of mint green coloyring, mixed in with sporadic dark green additions throughout. The Chinese Evergreen, as its more commonly known, is one that can offer many benefits to the atmosphere it is placed in as well, with the air-purifying qualities removing harmful pollutants and unwanted toxins from the air. The plant will appreciate being placed in partial shade, with watering having to be done up to three times a month. That amount can decrease as the year progresses into Winter and warmer weather begins to fade away.

House Plant Size Guide
House plants come in a wide array of shapes and sizes depending on the variety and maturity of the plant.
6cm/12cm/15cm/19cm/23cm nursery pots are the most common size of pot that they are sold in. This measurement is the diameter at the top of the pot.
12cm potted plants are the most popular providing great value for money and an instant impact. Larger plants that come in pots of 20cm+ are great for making a statement in any room and can represent years of growth to get to that level of maturity and size.

Top Tip
Clean the leaves of your Aglaonema every few weeks to remove dust and maintain its glossy appearance. Rotate the pot occasionally to ensure even growth, as the plant will naturally lean toward the light. For optimal health, keep it away from cold draughts and sudden temperature changes, as this tropical plant thrives in stable, warm environments. Regular care will keep your Aglaonema thriving and its foliage vibrant.
How to Water
Water Aglaonema regularly, allowing the top 2–3 cm of soil to dry out between waterings. Overwatering can lead to root rot, so ensure the pot has proper drainage. Reduce watering slightly during winter when the plant’s growth slows. Use lukewarm, filtered water if possible, as this plant can be sensitive to chemicals in tap water. Always water at the base to avoid wetting the foliage, which can lead to leaf damage.
How to Plant
To plant Aglaonema, use a pot with good drainage filled with a well-aerated, peat-based compost. Gently remove the plant from its original container, loosening the roots carefully. Position the root ball in the new pot so it sits at the same depth as before. Backfill with compost, firm gently, and water thoroughly. Place the pot in a location with bright, indirect light to avoid scorching the leaves, as Aglaonema prefers low to medium light conditions.
