Ideal Growing Conditions for Aglaonema 'Star Collection' Mix

Aglaonema 'Star Collection' Mix is well-suited for a variety of indoor environments. To ensure optimal growth, consider the following conditions:

• Light: These plants thrive in low to bright indirect light. They are tolerant of low-light conditions but will display more vibrant colors when exposed to brighter indirect light.
• Temperature: Aglaonema prefers temperatures between 18-24°C (65-75°F). Avoid exposing the plant to temperatures below 15°C (60°F) and protect it from drafts.
• Humidity: These plants enjoy higher humidity levels but can tolerate average indoor humidity. If the air is too dry, increase humidity by misting the leaves or placing a humidifier nearby.
• Soil: Use a well-draining potting mix that retains some moisture. A mix designed for houseplants, with added perlite or orchid bark, works well.
• Watering: Water moderately, allowing the top inch of soil to dry out between waterings. Overwatering can lead to root rot, so ensure the pot has drainage holes.

Maintenance Tips for Aglaonema 'Star Collection' Mix

Keeping your Aglaonema 'Star Collection' Mix healthy involves a few simple maintenance steps:

• Planting: Choose a pot with drainage holes and fill it with a well-draining potting mix. Plant the Aglaonema at the same depth it was in its original container.
• Watering: Check the soil moisture level before watering. Water thoroughly, allowing excess water to drain out. Avoid letting the plant sit in waterlogged soil.
• Fertilizing: Feed with a balanced, water-soluble houseplant fertilizer every 4-6 weeks during the growing season (spring and summer). Reduce feeding in fall and winter.
• Pruning: Remove any yellow or damaged leaves to keep the plant looking tidy. Prune occasionally to maintain the desired shape and encourage bushier growth.
• Repotting: Repot every 2-3 years or when the plant outgrows its pot. Choose a pot that is one size larger and refresh the potting mix.
• Pest Control: Aglaonema is relatively pest-free but can occasionally attract spider mites, mealybugs, or scale. Inspect regularly and treat with insecticidal soap or neem oil if necessary.

• Brown Tips: Low humidity or underwatering can cause leaf tips to turn brown. Increase humidity and ensure the plant is adequately watered.
• Pest Infestations: Inspect the plant regularly for pests. If found, treat with insecticidal soap or neem oil promptly to prevent infestations from spreading.
