Care Tips:

💧 Watering: Aglaonema prefers slightly moist soil. Water the plant when the top inch of soil feels dry, allowing excess water to drain away. Avoid overwatering, as it can lead to root rot. It's better to underwater than to overwater this plant. 🚿
☀️ Light: Aglaonema thrives in bright, indirect light. Place it near a window with filtered sunlight or in a location where it receives bright, indirect light for a few hours each day. It can tolerate lower light conditions, but intense direct sunlight should be avoided to prevent leaf burn. ☀️
🌡️ Temperature: Aglaonema prefers temperatures between 65-85°F (18-29°C). It can tolerate slightly cooler temperatures, but avoid exposing it to drafts or cold air. Protect it from sudden temperature fluctuations and keep it away from cold windows during winter. 🌡️
🌱 Soil: Use well-draining potting soil that retains some moisture. A mixture of peat moss, perlite, and loam works well for Aglaonema. Ensure the pot has drainage holes to prevent waterlogging. 🌱
🔒 Maintenance: Aglaonema is a low-maintenance plant. Trim off any yellow or brown leaves to maintain its appearance and encourage new growth. Wipe the leaves occasionally to remove dust and keep them looking vibrant. ✂️
🌿 Propagation: Aglaonema can be propagated through stem cuttings. Take a healthy stem cutting with several leaves, and place it in a container with water or well-draining soil. Keep it in a warm and humid environment until roots develop. 🌿✂️
