Diamond Aglaonema How to care. This plant is a beautiful evergreen houseplant grown for its lush foliage. Green leaves with a speckled soft white color in the middle. Most people call it a Chinese Evergreen plant, and you can usually spot one at your local plant shop or greenhouse pretty easily across the U.S. They’re everywhere because they’re easy to care for, and most places that sell plants keep them in stock since people like how simple they are to grow indoors. Some bigger stores might not have as many types, but those smaller spots in your town almost always carry them.
Aglaonema is a good plant to use indoors. Some will even bloom.
Care of Diamond Aglaonema
The Diamond Aglaonema likes moderate to high light, so placing them in an office setting is good. Watering is about once per week during the winter seasons, a little more often during the hot summer seasons. It is important that your container drains well if not, the root system can develop root rot quickly.
From my own experience, it does not like to be in direct full sunlight, doing so, and it will quickly turn brown on its delicate foliage. However, indoors, it can take full artificial light, and they should be placed in a warm area.
Other types of Aglaonema Plants
The Ruby Aglaonema has Dark Green variegated foliage with red striped veins and a pink spotted underside. These types of plants will last indoors for a long time, and they are very easy to care for.
The Red Aglaonema
The Red Aglaonema is a plant that’s as beautiful as it is easy to care for, making it a popular choice for both beginners and seasoned plant enthusiasts. Its striking red and green leaves make a bold statement, brightening any room with a splash of color. You might wonder, is it as easy to care for as people say? Absolutely. This plant thrives in low to medium light, which means it can live happily in spots where many other plants wouldn’t.
The Leprechaun Chinese Evergreen
Dark green with gray stripes on the foliage. This one does not mind cooler temperatures; however, don’t place it where daytime temperatures drop below 32 ° Fahrenheit. Water about every other day and fertilize with a good houseplant fertilizer.
Problems with Aglaonema plants
Too much water and the tips will start to turn brown same goes for over-watering. So it’s important to water about once per week. If the temperatures are too cold, the middle of the foliage will turn spotty.
Watch out for issues like aphids, scale insects, and root rot. These troubles can hit hard if ignored. The moment you notice any signs of these pests or problems, jump into action. Got pests? Try using insecticidal soap or neem oil for an organic fix. This approach is not only effective but also safe for your plants and the environment. Act fast and save your plants from further damage.
