How to care for an Aglaonema White Lance
Watering your Aglaonema White Lance
Water your Aglaonema White Lance regularly, but avoid allowing the roots to sit in continuously wet soil. Allow the top layer of potting soil to dry slightly before watering again. In winter, watering once every two weeks is sufficient; in warmer months, you can increase this to once a week. For optimal results, use an Elho 1.5L watering can or add hydroponic pebbles.
Light requirements of your Aglaonema White Lance
The Aglaonema White Lance thrives in bright, indirect light. Direct sunlight can burn the leaves, while too little light stunts growth and fades the leaf markings. Place the plant a few meters from an east- or west-facing window for a beautiful balance. Tip: Combine it with a Monstera Minima for a vibrant foliage combination.
Common problems
Yellow leaves
Yellow leaves are often caused by overwatering or a sudden temperature fluctuation. First, check the moisture level of the potting soil with a moisture sensor or your finger. Adjust your watering routine and place the plant at a more consistent temperature. For more tips, see our blog post "What to do about root rot": Root rot in your houseplants .
Plant leaking drops
Sometimes you'll see water droplets on the leaf edges; this is called guttation and is normal in high humidity. Reduce the humidity by airing out the room or using a dehumidifier. If dripping occurs frequently, check that the plant isn't too wet and adjust your watering accordingly.
Plagues
Spider mites, mealybugs, or thrips can sometimes infest an Aglaonema White Lance. Regularly inspect the undersides of the leaves and treat any signs of infestation with an insecticide or natural remedies like neem oil. For prevention, you can use our sticky traps against fungus gnats .
Roots coming out of the bottom of the pot
When roots become visible at the bottom of the pot, it's time to repot. Choose a pot one size larger and add fresh, airy potting soil for aroids, such as our 5L potting soil for aroids . This encourages new root growth and keeps your plant healthy.
Brown edges on the leaves
Brown edges often indicate insufficient humidity or excessively hard, lime-rich watering. Increase humidity with a plant mister or in a group with other plants. Also, use filtered or rainwater to prevent limescale buildup.
