Care Instructions
Aglaonema robeleynii prefers bright, indirect light but can tolerate lower light conditions. It thrives in moderate temperatures and high humidity. Water the plant regularly to keep the soil evenly moist but not waterlogged. Avoid placing it in direct sunlight as it can scorch the leaves.Soil
This plant prefers well-draining loamy soil that retains moisture without becoming waterlogged. A mix of potting soil with perlite or sand can improve drainage. Ensure the pot has drainage holes to prevent water accumulation.Fertilizer
Feed Aglaonema robeleynii with a balanced liquid fertilizer (10-10-10) every 4-6 weeks during the growing season. Reduce feeding during the winter months when the plant's growth slows down.Repotting
Repot the plant every 2-3 years or when it becomes root-bound. Choose a pot that is one size larger than the current one. Gently remove the plant from its old pot, loosen the roots, and place it in the new pot with fresh soil.Propagation
Aglaonema robeleynii can be propagated through stem cuttings or division. The best time to propagate is during the growing season. For stem cuttings, cut a healthy stem with several leaves and place it in water or moist soil until roots develop. For division, carefully separate the plant into smaller sections, ensuring each section has roots attached.Pruning
Prune the plant to remove yellow or damaged leaves and to maintain its shape. Regular pruning encourages new growth and keeps the plant looking healthy. Use clean, sharp scissors or pruning shears to make clean cuts.Toxicity
Aglaonema robeleynii is toxic to pets and humans if ingested. The plant contains calcium oxalate crystals, which can cause irritation, swelling, and discomfort in the mouth and throat. Keep the plant out of reach of children and pets.Additional
To maintain high humidity levels, consider placing a humidifier near the plant or placing the pot on a tray filled with pebbles and water. Regularly misting the leaves can also help increase humidity. Rotate the plant occasionally to ensure even growth.REVOLUTIONIZE YOUR PLANT CARE
