About This Plant

The Chinese Evergreen Spring Snow (Aglaonema ‘Spring Snow’) is a tropical plant from the shaded understorey forests of Southeast Asia. It grows compact, oval to lance-shaped leaves. No direct sun is needed, which is why it handles dim rooms and the dry forced-air heat of Canadian homes so well.

The white variegation brightens low-light corners. The cream and white speckles on the leaves stay visible even in dim rooms, giving it a lighter, fresher look than most low-light plants. It works well on shelves, desks, and in north-facing rooms. For another white-variegated option with similar care, the Marble Queen Pothos handles low light equally well.

Keep it away from pets and children. The ASPCA confirms Aglaonema is toxic to cats and dogs. The leaves contain insoluble calcium oxalates that cause mouth pain, drooling, swelling, and vomiting if chewed. Place it on a high shelf or in a room pets cannot reach.

It is compact and slow to outgrow its pot. Spring Snow typically reaches 30 to 60 cm tall indoors and keeps its tidy, clumping shape for years. It is a good fit for small apartments and spaces in Ontario and Quebec where you need something that stays manageable. The Aglaonema Silver Bay is a close match in size and care if you want a different colour tone.

Winter Slowdown

Growth slows from November onward and the plant drinks less. Water only when the top half of the soil is dry. Keep it away from cold glass and heating vents, which cause leaf tip browning. Hold off on fertilizer until spring.

Toxicity

Toxic to cats and dogs, confirmed by the ASPCA. The leaves contain insoluble calcium oxalates. Symptoms include mouth pain, drooling, swelling, and vomiting. Keep on a high shelf out of reach of pets and small children.

Pests

Check leaves for mealybugs and spider mites each time you water. Dry forced-air heating in Canadian homes from November onward makes plants more vulnerable to both.

Other Plants You Might Like

Not sure this is the right fit? Here are three other plants our Canadian customers love. All ship across Canada and thrive in Canadian homes.

Chinese Evergreen Silver Bay. Cool silver tones.

For a similar low-light Aglaonema with a silver overlay instead of white speckles, the Aglaonema Silver Bay has the same easy care and handles Canadian winters just as well.

Golden Pothos. Trailing and easy.

If you want something that trails off a shelf with the same forgiving care, the Golden Pothos handles low light and dry air with no fuss.

Snake Plant. Near indestructible.

For an upright plant that handles the same dim conditions with even less watering, the Snake Plant is one of the most dependable choices for Canadian apartments.

Common Questions

How often should I water the Chinese Evergreen Spring Snow?

Water when the top half of the soil is dry. In spring and summer that is roughly once a week. In a Canadian winter, cut back to every ten to fourteen days. Always check before you water. Our indoor plant watering guide shows how to check soil moisture correctly.

What light does it need in a Canadian home?

Medium to low indirect light works well. A north- or east-facing window is ideal. The white variegation is most vivid in medium indirect light and becomes less pronounced in very low light. Direct sun scorches the leaves. Read our guide to light requirements for indoor plants to pick the right spot.

Is the Chinese Evergreen Spring Snow toxic to cats and dogs?

Yes. The ASPCA confirms Aglaonema is toxic to cats and dogs. The leaves contain insoluble calcium oxalates, which cause mouth pain, drooling, swelling, and vomiting if chewed. Keep it on a high shelf that pets and small children cannot reach.

Will it survive a Canadian winter indoors?

Yes. It handles warm, dry indoor conditions well and does not go dormant. Keep temperatures above 15°C and away from cold glass and drafts. Growth slows from November to February but the plant stays green year-round. Our tips on keeping plants alive in winter cover what to watch for.

Why are the leaf tips turning brown?

Brown tips are most often caused by dry air or fluoride in tap water. Forced-air heating in Ontario and Quebec homes dries the air in winter. Try using filtered or overnight-rested tap water and keep the plant away from heating vents.

How to Take Care of Chinese Evergreen Spring Snow

Good to Know

Sun: Indirect

Keep it out of direct sunlight, which scorches the leaves. A spot a few feet from a north- or east-facing window is ideal in a Canadian home. It handles dim corners better than most houseplants.

Light: Medium to low indirect

A north- or east-facing window works well year-round. It adapts to office lighting too. The white speckled variegation is most vivid in medium indirect light and dulls in very low light.

Water: When top half of soil is dry

Water thoroughly until it drains from the bottom, then wait until the top half of the soil is dry. In a Canadian winter, water less. Never let it sit in standing water as root rot sets in quickly.

Humidity: Tolerates dry air

Handles the dry air from forced-air furnaces in Canadian homes without needing a humidifier. If leaf tips start to brown, move it away from heating vents or try using filtered tap water.

Pet Friendly: No

Toxic to cats and dogs, confirmed by the ASPCA. Contains insoluble calcium oxalates. Keep it somewhere pets and small children cannot reach.

Pro Tip

Dust on the leaves mutes the white variegation and blocks light, which matters most during short Canadian winter days. Wipe each leaf with a damp cloth every few weeks to keep the speckled pattern bright.
