Silver Bay grows to be a large, robust plant that will reach about 30 inches tall and 36 inches across when grown in a 12-inch pot.
Chinese Evergreens are amongst the most pest free plants even though mealybugs and spider mites will occasionally attack them.
Light
Because of their tolerance for both moist and dry conditions they make an excellent houseplant and they will thrive with very low light conditions.
Water
Water as the soil dries during the spring through summer months. Water less frequently in the winter. If you place your Chinese Evergreen in low light areas, you should water less often; the Chinese Evergreen placed in brighter spots will require more frequent watering.
Temperature
Silver Bay’s ability to thrive in cooler indoor temperatures is also a real plus.
Soil
A well draining soil is required for this plant.
Re-Potting
The Chinese Evergreen should be re-potted every two years if not sooner. The pot should not be more than two sizes bigger than its current pot; a pot that is too big can cause issues for the plant. Too much soil around it can retain water will lead to soggy roots, which could lead to root rot.
