Aglaonema variegated

Size : 20-25CM

 

Aglaonema variegated, also known as Variegated Chinese Evergreen, is a stunning indoor plant prized for its attractive variegated foliage. With its vibrant and contrasting patterns of green, cream, and sometimes pink, it adds a touch of color and visual interest to any space.

It is  relatively low-maintenance plant, making it suitable for both experienced and novice plant owners. Here are some key care tips for this beautiful plant:

Light:

Place your Aglaonema variegated in bright, indirect light. It can tolerate lower light conditions but avoid exposing it to direct sunlight, as it can scorch the leaves.

Temperature:

This plant thrives in average room temperatures between 65°F to 75°F (18°C to 24°C). Avoid placing it in drafty or cold areas.

Watering:

Water the Aglaonema variegated when the top inch (2.5 cm) of the soil feels slightly dry. Ensure proper drainage by using a well-draining potting mix and a pot with drainage holes. Overwatering can lead to root rot, so it’s important not to let the plant sit in standing water.

Humidity:

While it can adapt to normal household humidity levels, providing slightly higher humidity (around 50-60%) can benefit the plant. You can achieve this by misting the leaves or placing a tray of water near the plant.

Fertilization:

Feed your Aglaonema variegated with a balanced, water-soluble houseplant fertilizer every 2-4 weeks during the growing season (spring and summer). Follow the instructions on the fertilizer package for proper dosage.

Pruning:

Trim any yellow or damaged leaves regularly to maintain the plant’s appearance. You can also prune the plant to control its size or shape, if desired.

Propagation:

Aglaonema variegated can be propagated through stem cuttings. Simply take a healthy stem cutting with a few leaves and place it in a moist potting mix until roots develop.

Remember to keep your Aglaonema variegated away from pets and children, as the plant can be toxic if ingested. With proper care and attention, the Aglaonema variegated will thrive, showcasing its beautiful variegated foliage and bringing a touch of nature’s artistry into your indoor space.
