How to Care for the Plant

Water
The Chinese evergreen plant thrives in moist—but not water-logged—soil. To achieve this balance, water your plant thoroughly, then allow it to dry out before watering again.
Fertilizer
For best results, feed your Chinese evergreen with slow-release pellets or liquid fertilizer twice a year, at the beginning and end of its growing season.
Sunlight
Chinese evergreens can grow in near-shade, while the variegated varieties require a bit more bright light.

Soil
Ultimately, the Chinese evergreen isn't particularly picky when it comes to the soil it's planted in. Typically, a well-drained, slightly acidic potting soil is perfect for the plant.
Temperature
These plants do not like cold drafts or temperatures below 65 degrees Fahrenheit. Be sure to keep your Chinese evergreen away from windows or vents that blast in cool temperatures—the warmer the spot you can find, the better.
Additional
If you have curious pets in your household, you may want to skip the Chinese evergreen. It—and many members of the araceae plant family—is considered toxic, thanks to the insoluble calcium oxalate crystals found in every part of the plant.
