Aglaonema Silver Queen, commonly called Chinese evergreen, is one of the easiest plants for even novice gardeners to grow. Silver Queen is most commonly grown as a houseplant. It is forgiving of low-light conditions that make other plants struggle. Rarely exceeding heights of 3 feet, Chinese evergreen has a tidy, upright growth habit that makes it suitable for even small household nooks where you want to add a touch of greenery. If you consider its low-light and moist soil needs, growing Silver Queen is a snap.
