Aglonima Big Size Super White

Description

Aglaonema Big Size Super White is a stunning variety of Aglaonema with large, broad leaves that are predominantly white with minimal green. This plant is relatively low-maintenance but requires the right conditions to thrive. Here are the care details:

1. Light Requirements

• Prefers bright, indirect light to maintain its vibrant white foliage.
• Can tolerate low light, but the white variegation may fade.
• Avoid direct sunlight, as it can scorch the leaves.

2. Watering

• Keep the soil moderately moist but not soggy.
• Water when the top 1-2 inches of soil feel dry.
• Use filtered or distilled water to prevent leaf spotting from chemicals in tap water.

3. Humidity & Temperature

• Prefers high humidity (50% or above). If the air is dry, use a humidifier or mist the leaves occasionally.
• Ideal temperature range: 18-30°C (65-86°F).
• Protect from cold drafts and sudden temperature changes.

4. Soil

• Use a well-draining, peat-based potting mix.
• A mix of peat moss, perlite, and compost works well.
• Ensure the pot has drainage holes to prevent root rot.

5. Fertilizing

• Feed with a balanced liquid fertilizer (like 20-20-20) once a month during spring and summer.
• Reduce feeding in fall and winter when growth slows.

6. Pruning & Maintenance

• Remove yellowing or damaged leaves regularly.
• Wipe leaves with a damp cloth to keep them clean and dust-free.
• Rotate the plant occasionally for even growth.

7. Repotting

• Repot every 2-3 years or when the roots outgrow the pot.
• Choose a pot 1-2 inches larger than the current one.

8. Pests & Problems

• Watch out for mealybugs, spider mites, and aphids. Use neem oil or insecticidal soap if needed.
• Leaf yellowing: Overwatering or poor drainage.
• Brown leaf tips: Low humidity or fluoride in tap water.
• Drooping leaves: Underwatering or sudden temperature drop.
