Key Features:
- Size: Typically grows up to 30-50 cm in height and spreads about 30-40 cm wide.
- Light Requirements: Thrives in bright, indirect light but can tolerate lower light levels. Avoid direct sunlight to prevent leaf scorch.
- Watering: Water when the top 1-2 inches of soil are dry, but ensure the soil remains consistently moist, without becoming soggy.
- Temperature: Prefers temperatures between 18°C and 26°C. Protect from drafts and cold temperatures below 15°C.
- Additional Features: Known for its resilience and ability to adapt to various indoor conditions, including low light.
Care Tips:
- Plant in well-draining potting soil, ideally a mix formulated for houseplants, and use a pot with drainage holes to prevent waterlogging.
- Place in a spot with bright, indirect light. Aglaonema ‘Stardust’ can also tolerate low-light areas, though its color may be more vibrant with brighter light.
- Keep the soil evenly moist by watering when the top layer begins to dry, and reduce watering in winter when the plant’s growth slows down.
- Dust off the leaves occasionally to allow the plant to breathe and keep its foliage vibrant.
- Fertilize once a month during spring and summer with a balanced liquid fertilizer to encourage lush growth.
