AGLAONEMA

Aglaonema, also known as Chinese evergreen, is a popular houseplant valued for its attractive foliage and easy care. Here's a guide on how to care for Aglaonema indoors:

Sunlight

  • Moderate to Low Light: Aglaonema plants prefer bright indirect light but can tolerate low light conditions. Avoid direct sunlight, as it can scorch the leaves.
  • Artificial Light: They can also thrive under fluorescent lighting, making them ideal for offices or rooms with little natural light.

Watering

  • Consistency: Water the plant when the top 1-2 inches of soil feel dry. They prefer consistently moist soil but can tolerate occasional dryness.
  • Drainage: Ensure the pot has good drainage to prevent waterlogging, which can lead to root rot.

Humidity

  • Moderate to High Humidity: Aglaonema plants appreciate higher humidity levels but can adapt to normal indoor humidity. To increase humidity, you can mist the plant occasionally or use a humidifier.

Temperature

  • Warm Temperatures: They prefer temperatures between 65°F and 80°F (18°C to 27°C). Avoid cold drafts or sudden temperature changes, as they can stress the plant.

Troubleshooting
