Aglaonema Queen Care Guide

Although the Aglaonema Queen is a relatively low-maintenance plant, knowing a few care basics will help it thrive in your home:

Watering

Water your Aglaonema Queen when the top 2 inches of soil feel dry to the touch. Ensure the pot has proper drainage to prevent root rot. Be mindful of overwatering, as this plant is sensitive to soggy soil.

Light and Temperature

The Aglaonema Queen thrives in bright, indirect light, but it will also tolerate low light conditions. Direct sunlight can scorch its leaves, so it's best to keep it out of the sun's rays. Room temperatures between 65°F and 75°F are ideal.

Humidity

This plant enjoys moderate humidity but is also quite adaptable to average household humidity levels. To increase humidity, you can place the pot on a pebble tray filled with water or occasionally mist the plant.

Soil, Repotting, and Fertilizing

Use a well-draining potting mix, such as a peat-based mix with added perlite for drainage. Aglaonemas generally don't require frequent repotting. However, when it outgrows its pot, move it to a slightly larger container. Fertilize your Aglaonema Queen once a month during the growing season (spring to summer) with a balanced liquid fertilizer diluted to half strength.

Propagation

Aglaonema Queen can be propagated by stem cuttings. Simply cut a healthy stem with at least one node and place it in water to root. Once roots develop, plant it in a well-draining soil mix.

Pruning, Cleaning, and Common Issues

To keep your Aglaonema Queen looking its best, remove any yellow or damaged leaves. Clean the leaves occasionally with a damp cloth to remove dust and enhance its beauty.

Common issues include yellowing leaves from overwatering or inadequate light. Occasionally, check for pests such as mealybugs or aphids, but these can be controlled with mild insecticidal soap.
