Key Features:
- Size: Typically grows up to 60-90 cm in height and width indoors.
- Light Requirements: Thrives in bright, indirect light but can tolerate low light, making it perfect for low-light corners. Avoid direct sunlight, which can scorch its leaves.
- Watering: Water moderately, allowing the top inch of soil to dry out between waterings. Avoid overwatering, as Aglaonema is prone to root rot.
- Temperature: Prefers warm temperatures between 18°C and 26°C. Protect from cold drafts and avoid temperatures below 15°C.
- Additional Features: Known for its air-purifying properties, helping to filter indoor pollutants.
Care Tips:
- Plant in well-draining potting soil, ideally a peat-based mix with added perlite to improve aeration and prevent waterlogging.
- Place in an area with indirect light for optimal color and growth, though it can tolerate lower light conditions with minimal impact on foliage.
- Water when the top inch of soil feels dry and reduce watering during cooler months when growth slows.
- Rotate the plant occasionally to maintain even growth and prevent it from leaning toward the light.
- Fertilize once a month during the growing season (spring and summer) with a balanced liquid fertilizer to promote healthy, lush foliage.
