About this plant
Aglaonema Silver Queen suits indoor spots with medium to bright, indirect light, tolerates lower light. Listed by the ASPCA as toxic to cats and dogs, so keep it away from pets.
Handles lower light and air conditioning well, with narrow silver leaves flecked green.
Aglaonema Silver Queen (Aglaonema 'Silver Queen') is a long-standing favorite among Chinese evergreens. Its narrow, pointed leaves are mostly silver with fine green flecks and edges, which keeps the plant looking bright even in a dim room. Its parent species grow on shaded forest floors in Southeast Asia.
In Dubai it is one of the most forgiving indoor plants you can buy. It accepts lower light, steady AC temperatures and the occasional missed watering, and the silver-toned leaves brighten darker corners. It still dislikes direct sun through glass, which bleaches and burns the leaves, and cold drafts from AC vents. Overwatering is the main way it fails here, because soil dries slowly in cool, air-conditioned rooms.
Silver Queen suits offices, bedrooms, living rooms and reception areas. We offer it at 20–30 cm and 30–40 cm, each in a nursery pot, ceramic pot or cane basket.

Care guide for Dubai homes
How to keep Aglaonema Silver Queen healthy through the Dubai year.
Light
Medium to bright, indirect light; tolerates lower light. Keep it out of harsh direct afternoon sun in summer.
Watering
Every 7–10 days indoors, when the top 3 cm of soil is dry; every 2–3 weeks in winter. Water when the top 2 to 3 cm of soil feels dry, empty the saucer afterwards, and check the soil before you water: AC slows how fast the plant uses water.
Care notes
Soil: light, peat-free or peat-based potting mix with perlite for drainage. Feeding: a balanced liquid feed at half strength once a month from March to October. Common mistake: placing it right under an AC vent, where cold air damages the leaves. Where it works: living rooms, bedrooms, offices and reception areas away from direct sun.
AC and air flow
Keep it at least 1 metre from AC vents. Cold air blowing straight onto the leaves dries the edges.
Cleaning the leaves
Dust settles quickly in Dubai homes. Wipe the leaves with a damp cloth every few weeks so they keep taking in light.
Feeding and repotting
Feed once a month from March to October. Repot every 2 years into a pot one size up, or book a Plant Doctor visit and we do it for you.
Pets
Listed by the ASPCA as toxic to cats and dogs (insoluble calcium oxalates; can cause oral irritation, pain and swelling of the mouth, drooling, vomiting and difficulty swallowing).

Aglaonema Silver Queen FAQs
Can it grow in low light?
Yes, it tolerates lower light well, though growth slows. Avoid very dark corners with no daylight at all.
Will it cope with AC in a Dubai apartment?
Yes, Aglaonema handles air-conditioned rooms well. Keep it out of the direct blast of an AC vent, which can mark and curl the leaves.
Is it toxic to pets?
Yes. The ASPCA lists Aglaonema (Chinese evergreen) as toxic to cats and dogs, so keep it out of reach of pets that chew leaves.
How big does it get?
Aglaonema grows slowly and usually stays around 40–60 cm tall indoors, so it rarely needs repotting more than every two years.
