Plant Essentials
Fertilizer/bean meal: Feed the plant once a month with a balanced fertilizer.
Repotting: Chinese Evergreens are low-maintenance and only need repotting every two years. Use high-quality potting compost.
Propagation: The propagation of Aglaonema is simple. They spread across the cut off tip in the same way as a stem tip cutting does. Another way of propagation is division.
Common Problems
1. What is causing my Aglaonema plant to droop?
Drooping leaves are an example of insufficient light or water.
2. Why are my aglaonema leaves turning grey and greasy?
The cold weather produces these grey, greasy splotches in the Aglaonema leaves, which eventually become yellow.
3. What causes Aglaonema leaves to be stiff and pale?
If you keep your Aglaonema in direct sunshine for too long, the leaves can get stiffened and grow pale.
Style and Decor
Light Requirements: Since Aglaonema prefers low indoor light, it prefers to be by a window.
Locations: The Chinese Evergreen does well when placed near a window. But it'll be as happy anywhere it can get indirect low light.
Styling/décor tip: If you have a modern interior décor, the Chinese Evergreen is one of the best plants to have. Place the Aglaonema in chic pots that match the décor and place these plant babies on a side table, in the dining room, reading room, or wherever else you need to break up the monotony of the room.
