Mealy bugs can be pests toward chinese evergreens. Soil-borne nematodes and mites can also be pests for these plants. Other insects, such as scale insects, white winged insects or white fly, bagworms, and aphids can be problematic as well. Fungus, tip blight and bacteria can also be problems resulting from excessive watering.
