Information
and advice on how to grow and care for Aglaonema
The Plant:
Lush, green, leafy plant with silvery patches on leaves, and shiny stamens.
Originates from tropical East Asia. Foliage colour is everything on this
houseplant.
Its needs: Semi-shade, no direct sun. Rich potting compost mix, kept moist but not over-watered. It does not do well if affected by cold or chill, so keep away from draughts.
Advice Information
Care: Feed this houseplant every other month during growing season. Moderate warmth and humidity. Mist-spray the leaves to remove dust and keep moist. Over sized plants can be split and re-potted in spring. Watch for mealy bug. Take care not to damage the foliage of the Aglaonema. Do not over-water this houseplant in winter. It should be allowed to dry out from time to time at this season.
Mealy bugs may be a problem in the leaf axils.
Good for: A shady corner at home or in the office. Simple but effective houseplant.
