Key Features:
- Size: Typically grows up to 60-90 cm in height with a similar spread indoors.
- Light Requirements: Prefers bright, indirect light but can tolerate lower light conditions. Avoid direct sunlight, which may scorch the leaves.
- Watering: Water moderately, allowing the top inch of soil to dry out between waterings. Avoid overwatering, as Aglaonema is sensitive to root rot.
- Temperature: Thrives in warm temperatures between 18°C and 26°C. Keep away from drafts and avoid temperatures below 15°C.
- Additional Features: Known for its air-purifying qualities, helping to cleanse indoor air by filtering out toxins.
Care Tips:
- Plant in well-draining potting soil, ideally a peat-based mix with added perlite or sand to improve aeration.
- Position in a spot with indirect light to maintain vibrant foliage color. While ‘White Stem’ can tolerate low light, optimal light will enhance its growth and appearance.
- Water when the top inch of soil feels dry, and reduce watering in cooler months when the plant’s growth naturally slows.
- Rotate the plant occasionally to encourage even growth and prevent it from leaning toward the light.
- Fertilize once a month during the growing season (spring and summer) with a balanced, water-soluble fertilizer to promote healthy foliage.
