She might be too far away from a window or she could be overwatered. How often are you watering her?

every two weeks or so,  
I thought that chinese evergreens didn’t like a lot of light but maybe it’s too little.

Make sure to check the soil before adding water. A Chinese Evergreen will let you know when it needs water. Mine tends to droop a little. I let it dry between waterings and I have it in a room that has windows but it isn’t in the window. It is maybe 3 ft away and it is doing well.

It could also be a water imbalance where one side of the post is absorbing more water than the other side. Bottom watering it’s a good way to fix the issue !
