Care
Planting & Growing
Aglaonema Spathomena is a beautiful and easy-to-care-for houseplant, and typically grows to about 18-24 inches tall when cultivated indoors. Under ideal conditions, it can reach its mature size in a few years. Aglaonema Spathomena prefers bright, indirect light but can adapt to lower light conditions. However, for optimal growth, placing it in a well-lit spot will help maintain its vibrant leaf coloration. Avoid direct sunlight, as this can scorch the leaves. Use a well-draining, all-purpose potting mix. This plant is not particular about soil pH but prefers soil that retains some moisture without becoming soggy. Ensure your pot has drainage holes to avoid water accumulation at the bottom, which could harm the roots. Be cautious if you have pets or small children, as Aglaonema spathomena contains compounds that can be toxic when ingested. Ensure it is placed out of reach of curious pets or young children.
There are many factors that will affect the ultimate height, spread and overall performance of a plant when grown indoors; among them, the size of the pot it's growing in, the amount of light it receives, watering frequency, the pruning regimen and repotting schedule. Use the information described here as a guideline only; individual performance can and will vary.
