How to care for Aglaonema
Our tips for helping it grow healthy and strong
Aglaonema, also known as "Chinese evergreen," is an evergreen perennial native to Southeast Asia. At our company, Aglaonema is valued for its ability to adapt to different environmental conditions, making it an ideal choice for anyone who wants a touch of greenery at home without too much fuss.
The right spot
Aglaonema prefers bright but indirect light. It's important to avoid direct exposure to the midday sun, which could damage its delicate leaves. Place it in a bright spot protected from direct sunlight.
When and how to water it
In summer, we recommend watering Aglaonema every 8 days, while in winter, every 18 days is sufficient. Always check that the top 2–3 cm of soil is dry before watering to prevent waterlogging that could harm the plant.
Temperature and humidity
Aglaonema thrives in environments with moderate humidity, between 50% and 60%. Although we don't have precise data on the ideal temperature, it's best to keep it in a temperate environment, avoiding temperature fluctuations and cold drafts.
The right fertilizer
During the growing season, in spring and summer, it's helpful to feed Aglaonema with a balanced liquid fertilizer. This will help the plant maintain its lush, healthy foliage.
The pot and soil
Although we don't have specific details about the type of soil, it's important that the substrate drains well to prevent waterlogging. Repotting every two years can help ensure the roots have enough room.
Our final tip
Aglaonema is an adaptable plant, but consistent attention to light and watering will make all the difference. Remember to check the soil and place it in a bright but sheltered spot. With this simple care, your Aglaonema will reward you with lush, long-lasting greenery.
