Care Guide
- Light: Aglaonema Pink plants thrive in low to moderate indirect light. Place them near a window where they can receive filtered sunlight or in well-lit areas away from direct sun exposure, as too much sunlight can scorch the leaves.
- Watering: Keep the soil evenly moist but not waterlogged. Water the Aglaonema Pink thoroughly when the top inch of soil feels dry to the touch. Ensure that excess water drains away to prevent waterlogging, which can lead to root rot.
- Soil: Plant Aglaonema Pink in well-draining potting mix, such as a blend of peat moss, perlite, and compost. Ensure the pot has drainage holes to allow excess water to escape.
- Humidity: Aglaonema Pink plants thrive in moderate to high humidity environments. Increase humidity levels by misting the leaves regularly or placing a humidifier nearby, especially during the dry winter months.
- Fertilization: Feed Aglaonema Pink with a balanced liquid fertilizer diluted to half strength every 4-6 weeks during the growing season (spring and summer). Reduce fertilization frequency or stop altogether during the dormant winter months.
- Pruning: Remove any dead, damaged, or yellowing leaves as needed to maintain the plant's appearance and health. Use clean, sharp pruning shears to make clean cuts, and avoid cutting into healthy tissue.
