The Aglaonema is one of the easiest houseplants to care for. With its decorative leaves and tough nature, it’s ideal for beginners or anyone with a busy lifestyle.

Origin

Aglaonema originates from the tropical and subtropical regions of Southeast Asia, where it grows beneath larger plants and trees in shady conditions.

Care

Light

This plant does well in low-light areas. Bright indirect light is fine too, but avoid harsh afternoon sun, as it can damage the leaves.

Water

Let the top layer of soil dry out between waterings. In winter, it needs less water than during the growing season.

Humidity

Average humidity is just fine. An occasional misting is nice but not essential.

Toxic?

Aglaonema is mildly toxic if ingested. Best to keep it away from pets and small children.

With its striking foliage, easy-going nature and air-purifying qualities, Aglaonema is a brilliant all-rounder for any space.
