Aglaonema Queen Care Guide

While Aglaonema Queen is incredibly resilient and easy to care for, following these basic guidelines will help it thrive:

Watering

Aglaonema Queen prefers consistent watering but dislikes being waterlogged. Allow the top inch of soil to dry out before watering again. Ensure the pot has good drainage to avoid root rot. Water your plant with filtered water for the best results. During winter months, reduce watering slightly.

Light and Temperature

The Aglaonema Queen thrives in low to medium indirect light, making it an excellent choice for areas with less natural sunlight, like offices or bedrooms. It can tolerate some low light but should avoid direct sun, as this may scorch its leaves. The ideal temperature range for this plant is between 65°F and 75°F, but it can handle slightly cooler temperatures too.

Humidity

Aglaonema Queen enjoys moderate to high humidity levels, but it's adaptable to average household humidity. If your space tends to be dry, increase moisture around the plant by placing it on a pebble tray with water or occasionally misting the leaves. Grouping plants can also help maintain higher humidity levels.

Soil, Repotting, and Fertilizing

Use a well-draining potting mix for Aglaonema Queen, such as a blend of peat, perlite, and pine bark. Repotting is generally only necessary every 1-2 years, or when the plant outgrows its pot. Opt for a pot just 1-2 inches larger than the current one. Fertilize your plant monthly with a balanced, liquid fertilizer during the growing season (spring and summer). During the winter months, you can reduce or stop fertilizing.

Propagation

Aglaonema Queen can be propagated by taking stem cuttings with a node and placing them in water or soil. When propagating in water, wait for roots to form before transplanting into soil.

Pruning, Cleaning, and Common Issues

To maintain its shape, trim off any dead or yellowing leaves. Aglaonema Queen is generally pest-resistant, but watch for common indoor pests such as spider mites or aphids. Overwatering may lead to yellowing leaves, while underwatering can cause browning at the leaf edges.
