Frequently Asked Questions
Why do the leaves of my Aglaonema Silver Queen have brown tips? Brown tips are most often caused by the lime in tap water or air that is too dry — use filtered water and occasionally mist the foliage.
What is the difference between the Aglaonema Silver Queen and the Aglaonema Silver Bay? The Silver Queen has almost entirely silver leaves with very subtle green veins, while the Silver Bay features broad, more contrasting green and silver patches — same care, two different looks.

✨ Almost entirely silver foliage • 🌙 Tolerates low light • 💧 Moderate watering • 🌱 Easy care • 📏 H45 cm | Pot Ø14 cm
Aglaonema Silver Queen, also known as the Chinese evergreen, stands out from all other Aglaonemas by its almost entirely silver foliage — the green veins remain subtle, allowing the bright metallic reflections to dominate and brighten even dimly lit rooms. Native to the tropical forests of Southeast Asia, it combines visual elegance with exceptional robustness. Discover our full Aglaonema collection and our guide to plants for low-light rooms.
Its remarkable tolerance to low light makes it one of the few decorative silver-leaf plants suitable for challenging spaces — hallways, windowless offices, north-facing rooms. Our beginner’s guide explains why Aglaonema is one of the most recommended plants to start with.
Exposure & Location
Aglaonema Silver Queen prefers low to medium indirect light and remarkably tolerates shade — this is one of its main strengths. Direct sunlight quickly burns its leaves and dulls its silver reflections.
- Exposure: low to medium indirect light — tolerates shade, avoid direct sunlight.
- Ideal for: living room, bedroom, office, entryway, dimly lit hallway.
- Temperature: 18 to 25 °C, without cold drafts or sudden changes.
- Substrate: light and well-draining — indoor plant potting mix with perlite.
Watering & Care
- Watering: moderate — allow the top 2 to 3 centimeters of substrate to dry out between waterings. Aglaonema tolerates slight underwatering better than overwatering. Our light and humidity guide helps you find the right balance.
- Frequency: about once a week in summer, every 10 to 14 days in winter.
- Water: use non-calcareous water at room temperature — lime deposits leave white marks on the silver foliage.
- Fertilizer: once a month in spring and summer, balanced liquid fertilizer diluted by half.
- Cleaning: regularly wipe leaves with a damp cloth to preserve the metallic shine.
Decor Ideas & Plant Combinations
Its bright silver reflections make it an ideal accent plant in dark spaces — it brings visual light where few plants can.
- Color contrast: pair it with a Zamioculcas with very dark green foliage and a bright silver Sansevieria Moonshine — three low-light tolerant plants, three shades of green and silver, a coherent and low-maintenance composition.
- In an Aglaonema collection: pair it with the Aglaonema Silver Bay with large bicolor green and silver leaves — two silver varieties, two different patterns, same genus.
- Decorative pot: a matte ceramic in white, light gray, or beige highlights the silver reflections without competing — avoid metallic tones that create visual confusion with the foliage.
Verdeia Tips
- Non-calcareous water is essential: lime deposits visibly dull the silver reflections of the foliage — use filtered water or water left for 24 hours in an open container.
- Ideal for difficult spaces: dark hallway, windowless office, north-facing room — Aglaonema Silver Queen withstands conditions where most decorative plants would wither.
- The less you water it, the better it fares: slightly dry substrate is much less risky than soggy substrate — always wait until the top 2 to 3 centimeters are dry before watering.

FAQ – Everything to know before adopting your Verdeia plant
How are my plants prepared before shipping?
All our plants are selected from our European partner nurseries. Before shipping, they are watered, cleaned, and protected with breathable, secure packaging. Each package is designed to ensure your plant arrives in perfect health, without any transport-related stress.
Will the plant look exactly like the photo?
The photos accurately represent the variety and the stated size. Since each plant is unique, slight differences in shape, foliage, or color may occur — and that’s part of their charm.
What are the delivery times and conditions?
Shipping is done within 48 business hours, with tracked delivery within 2 to 5 business days. Delivery costs €5.60 — free for orders over €50. You will receive a tracking link as soon as the package is shipped.
What to do upon receiving my plant?
Open your package as soon as you receive it and carefully remove the plant from its packaging. Let it acclimate for 24 hours in its new environment before watering. If it has been slightly stressed during transport, it will recover its shape after one or two days in the light.
What to do if my plant arrives damaged?
Contact us within 48 hours with a photo of the issue. Our team will assess the situation and offer you the best solution: replacement, partial refund, or recovery advice.
Can I return a plant?
Since plants are living beings, standard returns are not possible. However, we guarantee good health upon delivery: if the plant arrives damaged, it will be replaced free of charge. For any other cases (order error, decorative pot, accessory), returns are possible within 14 days.
