Important Details
Light- Beginner
These plants are a popular choice for houseplants due to their low maintenance and ability to thrive in bright indirect light. Place your Aglaonema in a draft-free area near a window to give it the bright, indirect light it needs to thrive.
Water- Intermediate
This Aglaonema is easy to care for water-wise. Their soil should be kept moist for optimal growth, but excess moisture should be avoided. Water when the soil feels dry to ensure the perfect balance.
Soil- Intermediate
Chinese evergreens (Aglaonemas) thrive in a peat-based potting mix with an acidic pH between 5.5 and 6.5. Improve soil drainage with sand, perlite, or bark. Enjoy lush foliage with the right environment!
