Care Guide

  • Care Guide:
  • Sunlight: She prefers medium to bright indirect light and will tolerate a slightly shadier corner better than many houseplants.
  • Best Room: A living room, bedroom or office shelf with soft filtered light.
  • Snacks: Feed lightly every 4–6 weeks in spring and summer with a balanced houseplant fertiliser.
  • Tropical Feels: Average home humidity is usually fine, but she appreciates a little extra moisture in the air.
  • Cosy Factor: Keep her cosy at 18–27°C and away from cold draughts.
  • Thirst: Water when the top few centimetres of compost feel dry; she prefers even moisture without sitting wet.
  • Safety First: Toxic – Aglaonema contains irritating calcium oxalate crystals, so keep away from pets and small hands.
  • The Bedding: A light, free-draining houseplant mix with added perlite works beautifully.
  • Family Tree: Propagate by stem cuttings or careful division when the plant is mature.
  • Space Needs: A compact foliage plant that works beautifully in smaller pots and grouped displays.
  • Speed: A steady grower that rewards consistent care with fresh patterned leaves.
  • Uninvited Guests: Watch for mealybugs and spider mites, especially in dry indoor air.
  • Moving Day: Repot every 1–2 years when roots fill the nursery pot.
  • Haircut: Remove older yellowing leaves at the base to keep her neat and full.
  • Fresh Air: A dependable foliage plant that brings calm, leafy softness to indoor air.
  • Plant Lore: Aglaonemas are known as Chinese Evergreens because they stay handsome and leafy even when indoor life is less than perfect.
