Aglaonema care guide

I personally think that the Aglaonema genus is underrated. There are more than 40 species, which all have stunning, unique leaves.

------------------------------------

WATERING :

Aglaonema have thick stems, with thinner leaves. Every part of the plant holds moisture. I recommend watering your Aglaonema once a week. In the warm summer months, you can water when the soil is still a bit moist.

------------------------------------

PROPAGATION :

Some Aglaonema that you find in stores have multiple plants in one pot. You can pull these out, or separate them when repotting the plant.

Stem cuttings are also possible! Find 2 nodes (a bump on the stem where leaves and aerial roots come out of), and cut in between the 2 nodes. The little space between 2 nodes is called an Internode.

Now just put the cutting in some water, ensure that the node is underwater, and it´ll root soon!

------------------------------------

LIGHT REQUIREMENTS :

These plants like a lot of light! I recommend giving them bright indirect light, but try to keep them out of bright, direct light.

------------------------------------

BLOOM : 

They can bloom/flower from spring to early summer. They barely bloom, and especially rarely bloom inside, so if i were you, i wont cut the flowers off. Just let them be.

The flowers are not too hard to miss, but kind of blend in with the leaves. 

------------------------------------

MEDIUMS :

These plants like to have plenty of oxygen by their roots. In the wild, worms and other insects do that for them. But for houseplants, we have to do that with regular soil, perlite, LECA and coco chips. That is the mix i use for my plants! And it never fails to work.
