If you’re a plant enthusiast, you’ve probably come across the Aglaonema. But how do you keep your Aglaonema thriving and gorgeous in a pot?
Understanding the Needs of Aglaonema Plants
1. Light Requirements: Aglaonema plants thrive in bright, indirect light. They can tolerate low light conditions, but their growth may be slower and their leaves less vibrant. Place your Aglaonema near a window with filtered sunlight or use artificial grow lights to provide the light.
2. Watering: These plants prefer to be slightly dry between waterings.
3. Humidity: Aglaonema plants thrive in high humidity. If the air in your home is dry, consider using a humidifier or placing a tray of water near the plant to increase humidity levels. Misting the leaves occasionally can also help.
Maintaining the Ideal Temperature and Humidity for Aglaonema Plants
Aglaonema plants thrive in warm and humid conditions. Here’s how you can provide the ideal temperature and humidity for your plant:
Avoid cold draughts: Aglaonema plants are sensitive to cold draughts. Make sure your plant is not near doors or windows that are often opened.
Temperature range: Aglaonema plants like temperatures between 18°C and 24°C.
