Aglaonema Plant

Product Description

Care Instructions:

1. Light:
   • Low to Medium Light: Aglaonema thrives in low to medium indirect light. It can tolerate lower light conditions, making it ideal for offices and shaded areas of the home. Avoid direct sunlight, as it can scorch the leaves.
2. Water:
   • Moderate Watering: Allow the top inch of soil to dry out between waterings. Water thoroughly, ensuring excess water drains away. Be cautious not to overwater, as Aglaonema is susceptible to root rot.
3. Temperature:
   • Warm Environment: Maintain a temperature range of 65°F – 80°F (18°C – 27°C). Avoid cold drafts or sudden temperature changes, which can damage the plant.
4. Humidity:
   • Average Humidity: Aglaonema prefers average to high humidity levels. If the air is very dry, consider using a humidifier or misting the plant occasionally.
5. Fertilization:
   • Occasional Feeding: Fertilize the plant once every 6-8 weeks during the growing season (spring and summer) with a balanced, water-soluble fertilizer. Reduce feeding in the fall and winter.
6. Pruning:
   • Minimal Pruning Needed: Remove yellow or dead leaves to keep the plant looking healthy and tidy. This encourages new growth.
7. Pest Control:
   • Watch for Pests: Inspect the plant regularly for common pests like spider mites, mealybugs, and aphids. Treat infestations with insecticidal soap or neem oil as needed.
8. Repotting:
   • Every 2-3 Years: Repot the Aglaonema every 2-3 years or when it becomes root-bound. Use a well-draining potting mix to ensure healthy growth.
