Aglaonema Care Sheet

Light: Suitable for low light conditions. Light and patterned leaves tolerate more light to help their colours stay vibrant, but not in direct sun which can burn the foliage. Keep out of draughty areas.

Water: Allow top two inches of soil to dry out between watering, constantly oversaturated soil may lead to root rot. Speed in which soil dries depends on the light levels of the plant position. Reduce routine in winter

Soil/Nutrition: Well-draining houseplant compost mix, feed monthly in spring and summer

Humidity: Benefits from regular misting, or pebble tray. Brown leaf tips indicate misting is needed

Pruning and propagation: Dust leaves with a damp cloth occasionally, snip off any damaged or unsightly foliage at it’s base. Propagation of stem cuttings or plant division possible

Experience Level: Beginner
