1. Light: Aglaonemas are not fussy about their lighting – they can thrive in low to bright indirect light. Think of them as the adaptable performers of the plant world. Too much direct sun, and they’ll act like a diva caught without sunglasses – a bit burnt out. If they start to look a bit drab, they might be asking for a brighter spot.
2. Water: Water your Aglaonema regularly but let the top inch of soil dry out between waterings. Picture it as enjoying a nice drink but not wanting to swim. If the leaves start to droop, it’s giving you the plant equivalent of “I’m thirsty!” But too much water and it’ll throw a tantrum with yellow leaves.
3. Temperature: This plant likes it warm and cozy, much like it’s prepping for a night out. Keep temperatures between 65-75°F (18-24°C). If you feel like wearing a scarf, your Aglaonema probably needs a bit more warmth too.
4. Humidity: Aglaonemas enjoy a bit of humidity, but they’re not too demanding. If you want to spoil your diva, give it an occasional misting or place it near a humidifier. It’s like giving it a refreshing facial spritz.
5. Soil: Use well-draining soil to keep your Aglaonema comfortable. Think of it as providing a plush red carpet for its roots. A standard potting mix with some added perlite or sand will do the trick.
6. Fertilizer: Feed your plant with a balanced, water-soluble fertilizer once a month during the growing season. It’s like giving your Aglaonema its daily vitamins – it’ll keep those leaves looking vibrant and healthy.
7. Pruning: Trim away any yellow or damaged leaves to keep your plant looking its best. It’s like giving it a quick makeover – snip, snip, and it’s ready to dazzle.
