Silver Bay Aglaonema, also referred to as Chinese Evergreen ‘Silver Bay’, is an easy plant to grow and care for. The striking variegated leaves have patterns of dark to silvery-green leaves. This plant is a native to Asia and can tolerate average household climates very well. The Silver Bay is a perfect accent for the home or office.
Best Locations For Growing Silver Bay Aglaonema
The slender, silver foliage of this plant complements many home decor designs. Grow this plant in a location that receives plenty of sunlight such as an atrium, sun room, or any other bright room. The Silver Bay is also a great low-maintenance plant for the office.
Silver Bay Aglaonema Sunlight Requirements
Silver Bay Aglaonema needs plenty of indirect light to thrive. Two or three feet away from a south-facing window, or near an east- or west-facing window are ideal positions, but this plant can tolerate low light conditions for brief periods of time.
Silver Bay Aglaonema Care
When repotting the Silver Bay Aglaonema, provide it with well-draining potting soil. An ideal blend would be 2 parts all-purpose potting soil, 1 part perlite, and 1 part orchid bark. This blend is excellent for root airflow and soil drainage. This plant only requires repotting every couple of years.
Watering Silver Bay Aglaonema
Water this plant when the top two to three inches of soil are dry. Keep the soil slightly moist but not soggy. Allow excess water to run through the drainage holes of your pot. Aglaonema can tolerate being dry for brief periods of time.
Feeding Silver Bay Aglaonema
The Silver Bay doesn’t need much fertilizer to thrive. Use a balanced, all-purpose houseplant fertilizer about every two months during the growing season.

Plant Shipping
Below are some factors we consider when determining when to ship the plants depending on the timing of the order.
Winter to Early Spring
We ship only when it's warm enough to plant in your growing zone.
Sometimes plants aren't completely ready to sell and ship in early spring. We will wait until the plants are ready before shipping so you don't get a subpar product.
For Southern plants we will be able to ship much earlier than plants coming from our northern nursery.
Summer
If there is extreme heat we may delay shipping for a week or several weeks.
We review what areas the plants are traveling through as well as your location.
Fall into Winter
We’ll ship plants out all the way up to the end of the fall planting season!
Winter
Get your order in early to reserve your plants for Spring planting!
Once your plant is shipped you’ll receive an automated email with tracking information.
