The Silver Bay Chinese Evergreen — Effortlessly Beautiful, Impossibly Easy
Some plants demand constant attention. The Aglaonema 'Silver Bay' is not one of them. With its broad, silvery-green leaves edged in deep emerald, this Chinese Evergreen brings a calm, sophisticated presence to any room — and asks for almost nothing in return. It thrives in the corners other plants abandon, shrugs off missed waterings, and keeps looking polished whether you're a devoted plant parent or a self-described plant killer.
At Ed's Plant Shop, every Silver Bay is grown and hand-selected for fullness and health — so you're getting a plant that's already thriving, not one that needs to recover from shipping stress.
Plant Profile
- Botanical Name: Aglaonema commutatum 'Silver Bay'
- Common Names: Silver Bay Chinese Evergreen, Silver Stone
- Family: Araceae
- Native Range: Southeast Asia, New Guinea
- Growth Habit: Upright, bushy — grows 2–3 ft tall indoors
- Leaf Color: Silvery-green center with rich dark green margins — elegant and distinctive

Care Guide
- Light: Low to bright indirect light — one of the most light-tolerant houseplants available. Avoid direct sun, which can scorch the leaves.
- Water: Water when the top 2" of soil are dry. It's more forgiving of underwatering than overwatering — when in doubt, wait a few more days.
- Humidity: Adapts to average home humidity. No misting required.
- Temperature: Prefers 60–80°F. Keep away from cold drafts and air conditioning vents.
- Fertilizer: Light feeder — a balanced liquid fertilizer once in spring and once in summer is plenty.
- Pruning: Remove yellow or brown leaves at the base to keep it looking its best.
- Propagation: Divide at the root during repotting to create new plants.
- Pests: Naturally resilient — one of the most pest-resistant houseplants you can own.
Why the Silver Bay Earns Its Place in Any Home
- True Low-Light Champion: Thrives in offices, hallways, and shaded rooms where most plants simply won't survive.
- Forgiving by Nature: Tolerates irregular watering, dry air, and imperfect conditions — ideal for busy lifestyles.
- Striking, Sculptural Foliage: The silver-and-green variegation is bold enough to be a focal point, refined enough to complement any décor.
- Multiple Sizes Available: From compact 4.5" starter plants to large 10" statement specimens — choose the size that fits your space.
- Air-Purifying: Filters common indoor pollutants for a healthier living environment.
- Hand-Selected Quality: Every plant from Ed's is inspected before it ships — full, healthy, and ready to settle into your home.
💡 Pro Tip: The Darker the Corner, the Better
The Silver Bay is one of the rare plants that genuinely improves in lower light conditions — its silvery variegation stays vivid even in dim spaces. Place it in that tricky corner you've been struggling to fill, and watch it thrive where everything else has failed.

Engaging, though-provoking sweep that will provide you with regarding this time period
Format: Hardcover
Alan Taylor is a writer who excels at contextualizing the complexity of history by creating a sort of ancestral snapshot of each person and event and placing them on a family tree, showing both their relationships to one another and to their time. This approach increases readers’ abilities to build those understandings on their own in other readings, about other times. That’s cool. In this book, he upends a more static understanding of North and South and provides a kaleidoscope of complexity with regards to individuals and social groups from regions both within and outside of our borders.
In this book, Alan Taylor displays his unique brilliance at making legible the complex interplay of extremely diverse international, national, and factional agendas, political aspirations, people’s attachment to their political and social worldviews, economic aspirations, their bluster, their denial, and their honest – if not always successful – efforts. Quoting from a mind-bogglingly large reading list of academic sources, newspapers, diaries, and other historical documents, he brings people back to life in such a way that you could mentally animate what role these historical figures would play today on the world stage or even in a more intimate setting of your own office politics. He makes the complexity and uncertainty decipherable so that we can think about it, argue about it, and explore it just as we would events with which we are familiar today.
A true love of history and our understanding of humanity at present are not served by infatuation with imagined, polished heroes but by complex accounts and considerations of character, influences, dreams, successes, and failures that reveal how these elements are the common denominators in all lives and across all times. Taylor does this superbly for figures North, South, enslaved, free, freed Blacks, embittered whites, Mexican, Spanish, Canadian, British, French, and Indigenous. He juxtaposes Maximilian’s wife, Carlota, sister of Leopold II, who placed faith in herself and in her husband to transform Mexico through better monarchy, with the far more egalitarian Benito Juárez, who ultimately subordinated the lives of the indigenous people in capitulating to a rising oligarchy of American investors who could rebuild Mexico. Both Carlota and Juarez are driven to varying degrees of madness by the results of their efforts.
We see members of the former Confederacy who rue their violent support for the perverse and cruel institution of slavery once the war is over, alongside others who will stop at nothing to bring back the old order. And we see Northerners, who in wartime decried slavery with a furious ardor, eventually languishing in their duty to their fellows after the war was over. There are warriors for justice, warriors for oppression, realists, capitulators, power brokers, and pawns. Even the best, who are not depleted of passionate intensity for doing right, must contend with an ecosystem of others’ dreams and aspirations, which all too often run afoul of the righteous. In the end, we may be judged by others and by ourselves for what we’ve wished for: either peace and fairness or war and acquisition at any price.
The book serves as a reminder to plant the right seeds and dream the right dreams…for everybody’s children. Because when the harshest frost melts away, something new will grow.

Carefully Researched Gives Insight To 19Th Century Occurances of: American, Canada, and Mexico!
Format: Hardcover
This book is a treasure as it covers not only the American Civil War but what intricate details are behind it and more, in addition covers the same eras for the Dominion of Canada, and French take over of Mexico along with the factors leading to "Cinco De Mayo," and more. As an avid reader of American History also as a amature historian this book is carefully detailed and gives insight to the racial and political beliefs at the life and times of the 19Th. Century. It deserves a place on your bookshelf and/or library. In these contemporary times, I am still more than pleased the the border frontiers between the Republic of Canada and United States of America remain the: "Longest Undefended Borders" in the entire globe.

Another Thought Provoking Book
Format: Kindle
Having read Professor Taylor's American Republics I greatly anticipated this volume in his series. The examination of both the Canadian and Mexican stories in this book along with the American Civil War helps provide context to the traditional narrative. I find his approach useful as it shows how the interactions between the US and its neighboring nations evolved. I'm hoping he continues the series

A Minority View of our History
Format: Kindle
If you want to learn more about American history from the perspective of minorities, this is a crowning achievement. It is long so I focused on reading the chapters on the US and it gave me an understanding of just how brutal the challenges were but how significant the slow process of building our multicultural society was as well.

Eye opening!
Format: Hardcover
I've read tons of books and biographies connected to American history, perhaps because I'm the son of immigrants, but have never read a survey like this one. By describing in luscious and sometimes horrific detail the wars being fought in Mexico and the main Canadian provinces alongside our Civil War, we get patterns, intersections, and insights that simply would not be available reading about any one struggle. I love this book which is teeming with wonderful portraits and dramatic scenes.
