How to care for an Aglaonema Green Lady
Watering Aglaonema Green Lady
The Aglaonema Green Lady prefers even moisture, without its roots sitting in stagnant water. Water about once a week, depending on the temperature and humidity in your home. Before watering, always check that the top few centimeters of soil feel dry. Overwatering can cause root rot, while underwatering leads to yellowed leaf edges. For optimal results, use an Elho 1.5L watering can for precise dosing.
Light Aglaonema Green Lady
Aglaonema Green Lady thrives in bright, indirect light. Direct sunlight can burn and brown the leaves, so avoid placing them directly in front of a sunlit window. Insufficient light will slow growth and cause the leaves to lose their deep green color. A bright spot behind a thin curtain or a few meters from the window is ideal. You can find more tips in our blog post about caring for Aglaonema .
Frequently occurring problems
Yellow leaves
Yellow leaves are often a sign of water stress or a nutrient deficiency. Check whether your Aglaonema Green Lady is too wet or too dry. During the growing season, add a balanced fertilizer once a month with our jungle mist spray for an extra boost. Always remove old, dead leaves to allow the plant to focus its energy on new growth.
Plant leaking moisture
Sometimes you might see water dripping from the bottom of the pot. This is because the drainage holes are too small or the plant is being watered too frequently. Place the pot on a saucer or use a potting tray to catch the excess water. Always allow excess water to drain within an hour after watering to prevent root problems.
Pests
Spider mites, aphids, and thrips can attack your Aglaonema in dry conditions. Inspect the undersides of the leaves monthly. For a light infestation, you can spray the plant with water; for a more severe infestation, use our sticky traps for fungus gnats or a mild insecticide. Also, maintain high humidity to discourage spider mites.
Roots emerge from the bottom of the pot
When you see roots emerging from the bottom of the pot, it's time to repot. Choose a slightly larger pot with fresh potting soil, such as our 5L potting soil for aroids . Repot in the spring and water generously afterward. This way, the roots will have enough water to grow.
Brown leaf edges
Brown edges on the leaves often indicate low humidity or salt buildup. Increase the humidity by placing a water dish nearby or spraying regularly with a plant sprayer . Gently flush the potting soil with water once a quarter to remove accumulated salts.
