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.
