Aglaonema hybrid 'Silver Bay'

aglaonema silver bay

Also known as: Silver Bay Chinese Evergreen, Chinese Evergreen

Native to the tropical rainforests of Asia and New Guinea, Silver Bay is one of the most beloved members of the Chinese Evergreen family — and for good reason. Its broad, glossy leaves display a stunning combination of silver, light green, and deep green that looks almost painted by hand. A known air purifier, it quietly filters common household toxins like benzene and formaldehyde while thriving in the spots where most plants struggle. Beautiful, tough, and endlessly rewarding.

care

Silver Bay thrives in warm, humid conditions — keep it away from cold drafts and air conditioning vents. Water when the top inch of soil feels dry and wipe leaves occasionally to keep their silver sheen looking fresh. Remove yellowing leaves at the base to encourage healthy new growth. Feed monthly with a balanced liquid fertilizer during spring and summer — skip fertilizing in winter when growth naturally slows.
