Chinese Evergreen First Diamond

Botanical Name: Aglaonema commutatum 'First Diamond'

Common Name(s): Chinese Evergreen First Diamond, First Diamond Aglaonema

The Chinese Evergreen First Diamond is a striking plant of the popular Aglaonema species, known for its elegant, variegated foliage. The First Diamond variety features large, dark green leaves with a beautiful silver and cream marbling effect, creating a refined and sophisticated look. This low-maintenance plant adds a touch of tropical beauty to any indoor space, making it an excellent choice for both beginners and experienced plant enthusiasts alike.

Native to Southeast Asia, the Chinese Evergreen First Diamond thrives in low to moderate light conditions, making it perfect for spaces with indirect or filtered sunlight. It’s also known for its resilience, as it can tolerate less-than-ideal lighting situations and still maintain its attractive appearance. This plant prefers well-draining, slightly acidic soil and should be watered when the top inch of soil has dried out. Overwatering should be avoided to prevent root rot, so be sure to allow the soil to dry out between waterings.

This easy-to-care-for plant is ideal for beginners and plant enthusiasts alike. This plant grows as a compact, bushy plant that typically reaches 1-2 feet in height when grown indoors. It is well-suited for lower light environments and is commonly used in homes and offices to add color and vibrancy to interior spaces.

While the Chinese Evergreen First Diamond can adapt to average indoor humidity, it will thrive in slightly more humid environments. A bathroom or kitchen with good air circulation can help the plant grow well, but it can also do fine in the average humidity levels found in most homes.

Air Purifying Qualities:

  • Toxin Removal: The Chinese Evergreen First Diamond is effective at filtering harmful indoor pollutants such as formaldehyde, benzene, and xylene, contributing to a cleaner and healthier living environment.
  • Oxygen Production: Like many houseplants, it absorbs carbon dioxide and releases oxygen, improving the overall air quality in your home.
  • Humidity Regulation: Through transpiration, this plant can slightly raise humidity in its surrounding environment, helping to combat dry indoor air.

Note: The Chinese Evergreen First Diamond is toxic to pets if ingested, causing potential irritation or discomfort. Keep it out of reach of cats and dogs. 

Care Insights & Expert Tips

  1. Repotting: Repot every 1-2 years, or when the plant becomes root-bound. 
  2. Fertilize once a month: Feed your plant with a balanced liquid fertilizer diluted to half strength once a month during the growing season.
  3. Easily stressed: Avoid placing it near air conditioning vents or heating sources, as extreme temperature fluctuations can stress the plant.
  4. Avoid cold drafts: Keep your Evergreen away from cold drafts and sudden temperature changes.

FAQs

Do you have a return or replacement policy for plants?

Due to the perishable nature of plants, we do not accept returns based on personal preference. Shipping live plants back and forth can cause unnecessary stress and jeopardize the health of the plant. We encourage customers to choose carefully before placing an order. Our risk-free, 30-day customer guarantee covers cases where plants arrive damaged, dead, sick, or incorrect items were sent. We will send you a replacement plant or provide a refund.

If there’s an issue with your order, please notify us within 30 days so we can address the issue as quickly as possible. To learn more, visit 30-Day Customer Guarantee.

Where do you ship?

Do you offer same-day or next-day delivery?
