How to care for an Aglaonema Silver Bay
Watering the Aglaonema Silver Bay
The Aglaonema Silver Bay has moderate water needs and doesn't like wet feet. Water it about once a week so that the potting soil feels evenly moist, but always allow excess water to drain. Preferably use room-warm water, and check the top layer of soil for dryness before watering. This prevents both dehydration and root rot, keeping your houseplant healthy and vibrant.
Light requirements for the Aglaonema Silver Bay
This Aglaonema thrives in bright, indirect light. Direct sunlight can burn the leaves, while too little light fades the leaf markings. Therefore, place the plant in a spot with plenty of daylight, but without direct midday sun. This will preserve the silver markings on the leaves and encourage even growth in every corner of your living room.
Is the Aglaonema Silver Bay poisonous?
The Aglaonema Silver Bay belongs to the Araceae family and contains substances that can be irritating. Keep the plant out of reach of pets and curious children to prevent discomfort. Wash your hands after each use and avoid introducing any gnawing material into your mouth. For an overview of safe plants for your home, you can also browse our collection of non-toxic houseplants.

Common problems with the Aglaonema Silver Bay
Yellow leaves
Yellow leaves often indicate overwatering or a location that is too dark. Check that the top layer of soil is completely dry before watering again. If necessary, move the plant to a spot with slightly brighter light and always allow excess water to drain through the drainage holes after watering. See our blog post on what to do about root rot for additional tips.
The plant is dripping
Drops on the leaves can appear due to tear fluid (gutation) when humidity is high. This is usually harmless and a sign that your plant is actively growing. Carefully wipe away any excess droplets to prevent mold growth. Try lowering the humidity slightly or spreading it out throughout the day.
Plagues
Spider mites, thrips, and mealybugs are the most common pests on Aglaonema. Inspect the undersides of the leaves regularly, especially in autumn and winter. If there's a credible infestation, treat it with a natural insecticide or a plant spray and repeat the treatment after 7 to 10 days. For prevention, consider our anti-fungus gnat sticky traps.
Carrots emerge from the bottom of the pot
If roots grow out of the drainage holes, your plant needs a larger pot. Repot in spring to a pot 2 to 4 cm larger and use special potting soil for aroids ( https://deplantrekkers.com/products/potgrond-voor-aroids-5l ). This will give the Aglaonema Silver Bay sufficient room to grow and develop a healthy root system.
Brown edges on the leaves
Brown edges often result from insufficient humidity or too much direct sunlight. Move the plant to a spot with indirect light and increase the humidity with a plant mister or a bowl of water nearby. Trim damaged leaf edges neatly to encourage new, healthy growth.
