Tolerates low to medium light, perfect for offices and rooms with limited sunlight.
Variegated varieties prefer bright, indirect light to maintain vibrant leaf colors.
Avoid direct sunlight, which can scorch leaves.
Water
Water when the top inch of soil feels dry.
Keep soil lightly moist but never soggy.
Reduce watering in winter when growth slows.
Use filtered or room-temperature water for best results.
Temperature & Humidity
Thrives in 20–30°C (65–85°F) temperatures.
Keep away from cold drafts and sudden temperature changes.
Prefers moderate to high humidity; mist occasionally or place near a humidifier.
Soil & Potting
Grows best in a well-draining potting mix with peat and perlite.
Repot every 2–3 years, as Aglaonema grows slowly.
Ensure pots have drainage holes to prevent root rot.
Fertilizing
Feed with a balanced liquid fertilizer every 6–8 weeks during spring and summer.
No need to fertilize in fall and winter.
Pruning & Maintenance
Remove yellow or damaged leaves to encourage healthy new growth.
Wipe leaves with a damp cloth to keep them clean and dust-free.
Propagation
Best propagated by division during repotting.
Gently separate clumps and replant in smaller pots.
Common Problems & Solutions
Yellow leaves → Overwatering or poor drainage.
Brown tips → Low humidity or fluoride in water.
Faded leaf color → Not enough light.
Pests (mealybugs, spider mites) → Treat with neem oil or insecticidal spray.
