The care secret that transformed my Chinese Evergreen

I'd had Chinese Evergreen for about eight months with acceptable but unremarkable results. Then I started really paying attention to wiping dusty leaves with a damp cloth to improve light absorption and the difference over the next two months was dramatic.

straightforward propagation by division, cuttings, or offsets became much more pronounced. The plant in a grouped arrangement for a humidity-raising effect now looks like a completely different specimen. summer growth needing more frequent watering and feeding confirmed that I'd finally unlocked what this plant can do. leggy growth reaching toward insufficient light has been less of a problem since I got the overall conditions right. If your Chinese Evergreen is underwhelming, look at wiping dusty leaves with a damp cloth to improve light absorption first.
