Hey Everyone! Work was throwing away this plant so I brought it home. I believe it’s a Chinese Evergreen. What can I do to help her out? The leaves are curled up and I don’t think the stalks are supposed to be that exposed? Super new at this, so I’m going in blind!

I recently rescued a Chinese Evergreen (Aglaonema) too! Although mine is a lot smaller. It does well in indirect light and I have been using care tips according to the app but I let it dry between waterings. I had to cut brown leaves off and repot it but so far it has done great since I acquired it. Hopefully yours will to!

You may be able to split it into two!

Thank you so much! I’m going to try that!
