Care Guide

Light:

Thrives in low to medium, indirect light. Avoid harsh sun which can scorch her leaves.

Water:

Water when the top inch of soil feels dry. Don’t let her sit in water — she’s not a fan of soggy feet.

Humidity:

Loves a bit of moisture in the air, but adapts well to average home humidity. Mist occasionally or place near other plants.

Temperature:

Prefers 18–26°C. Keep away from cold draughts and sudden temperature drops.

Feeding:

Feed monthly during spring and summer with a gentle liquid houseplant fertiliser.

Pet-Friendly?

Sadly not — Aglaonema is toxic if ingested. Keep out of reach of pets and curious little ones.
