Aglaonema 'White Joy'
Chinese evergreen
Known for its bold foliage and low-maintenance nature, this Chinese evergreen stands out in many indirectly lit indoor settings. Its large, paddle-shaped leaves feature creamy white centres edged and speckled with mid to dark green, creating strong contrast and visual interest.
It thrives in bright, indirect light but also tolerates lower light levels, making it ideal for homes and offices with less natural light — avoid direct sun, which can scorch the leaves.
Aglaonema 'White Joy' is widely recognised as one of the easiest houseplants to care for. It’s well-suited to beginner plant owners and busy households. Like other cultivated varieties, it has air-purifying qualities, helping improve indoor air over time.
Native to tropical Southeast Asia, this tropical houseplant adapts well to the stable indoor temperatures of UK homes. Keep soil lightly moist and avoid cold draughts (or hot, drying radiators) for best results.
Please note that the plant comes in a 12cm nursery pot as standard, unless a decorative pot cover is included as an option.

How to care for Aglaonema White Joy:
Aglaonema grows best in bright, indirect light but will cope well in lower light areas too. Let the top inch of soil dry out before watering, preferably with rainwater, and always use a pot with good drainage to avoid waterlogging (ensure the pot is not sitting in water within a decorative cover).
Feed monthly with a balanced liquid fertiliser during spring and summer. Wipe the leaves occasionally to remove dust and keep them looking their best. This plant prefers warm conditions, so keep it above 16°C (61°F) and away from cold draughts.
In winter, reduce watering and allow the plant to rest. Increase humidity by misting the leaves regularly, especially in heated homes. Repot every few years in spring using a free-draining compost.
