Daily care and tips for Aglaonema

How do you care for an Aglaonema day to day?

Care'comes down to three simple steps: moderate indirect light, watering every 7 to 10 days while letting the top 2 centimeters of potting mix dry out, and ambient humidity of around 50%. A stable environment, free from cold drafts, is ideal.

What kind of light is suitable for an Aglaonema?

Low to moderate indirect light, about 1.5 to 2 meters from'a bright window, is ideal. Avoid direct sunlight, which burns the foliage, as well as completely dark corners, which slow its growth.

Why are the leaves of my Aglaonema losing their variegation?

A loss of variegation most often signals a lack of light: the plant then produces more chlorophyll at the expense of the colored areas. Move it closer to a brighter source of indirect light, or compensate with our full-spectrum grow light if the room is naturally low in light.

Can you put an Aglaonema outdoors in summer?

I't is possible as soon as nighttime temperatures exceed 15°C, provided you place it in the shade or in very dim light, never in direct sunlight. Bring it indoors at the first cool nights of late'summer to avoid thermal shock.

How do you repot an Aglaonema?

Repot in spring, in a pot only slightly larger than the previous one, using our Aglaonema potting mix formulated for tropical plants. Wait 2 to 3 weeks after receiving the plant before repotting to give it time to adjust to its new environment.
