Light Requirements

Aglaonema Ivy Green thrives in bright, indirect light but can tolerate low-light conditions. However, it's important to avoid direct sunlight, as this can scorch the leaves. Ideally, place the plant near a window that receives filtered light.

Watering

Water the plant when the top inch of soil feels dry to the touch. Ensure that the pot has proper drainage to prevent waterlogging, which can lead to root rot. During the growing season (spring and summer), the plant may require more frequent watering, while in autumn and winter, reduce watering as the plant enters a dormant phase.

Humidity and Temperature

Aglaonema Ivy Green prefers high humidity levels, ideally around 40-60%. You can increase humidity by misting the leaves regularly, using a pebble tray, or placing a humidifier nearby. The optimal temperature range is between 18°C and 24°C. Protect the plant from cold drafts and extreme temperature fluctuations.

Soil

A well-draining potting mix is essential for Aglaonema Ivy Green. A blend of peat-based soil, perlite, and orchid bark works well. Avoid heavy soils that retain too much moisture.

Fertilisation

During the growing season, feed the plant with a balanced liquid fertiliser every 4-6 weeks. Reduce fertilisation during the winter months when the plant's growth slows down.

Pruning

Regular pruning will help maintain the plant's shape and encourage new growth. Remove any yellow or damaged leaves to keep the plant healthy and aesthetically pleasing.

Pests and Diseases

Common pests include spider mites, aphids, and mealybugs. Inspect the plant regularly and treat infestations promptly with insecticidal soap or neem oil. Keep an eye out for signs of root rot, especially if the plant is overwatered.

By following these care guidelines, Aglaonema Ivy Green can thrive and add a lush, vibrant touch to your indoor space.
