Aglaonema are my favorite plants. I have over 20 different varieties and I am always looking for new ones. I don't understand why they aren't more popular than calathea or whatever they're called now. They don't care about humidity, they never get brown or crunchy, they aren't over dramatic, tantrum throwing toddler plants. They grow in all areas of my place, north facing, west facing, artificial, they don't care! They come in so many patterns and colors. I'll take them all!

Perfect timing! I never really had a deep appreciation of Aglaonemas but now I’m in love with them. I think a well grown plant is beautiful even if fairly common. My understanding is that the more colorful cultivars get floppier as they mature.

@cadeliamv.urbano9282 3 жыл бұрын

Here in asia, we give agloanemas morning sunlight and put them indoors with indirect light. Since we live in a hotter climate, the sun is hotter and will totally scorch the leaves. There in cooler climates. I recommend to put them in direct sunlight since its 🥶 🧊

@M_SC 2 жыл бұрын

In cold climates it’s actually warmer inside than in warmer climates, in winter. Our walls are thicker and filled with insulation. Our windows have 2 lanes or sometimes 2 layers of window with a space between them. Heating systems are also more efficient or something. I was colder in japan and Taiwan and England in winter than i am in Canada.

I use my compos soil, specially fermented garbage from my kitchen. They love it. But yess It is not easy to care for the new cultivars such as the most most expensive cultivars eg. "Golden Hope" from Mr. Greg Hambali (Father of Agalonema), ect. But I don't know if it can be easy to grow on 4 season lands. Thank you for making this channel always on one step a head for our plants community. You are so inspiring and always make me smile. ----

These plants are survivors. I have a red Siam which was growing great in a dark corner under a Soltech Aspect grow light. Then suddenly after 2 gorgeous years, stems got very leggy and starting snapping off weekly until I only had a few stems left. I tried rooting the top of leafy broken stems in water but a year later nothing. As a last resort I put the stems in potting soil and pumice mix. Low and behold every stem rooted and leafed out. Meanwhile my original pot which looked like a sad cut down forest, had new shoots start popping out of the soil and each 2-3 inch bare ‘trunk’ started sprouting new shoots out the tops. So now I have 3 pots filled with multiple 8-10 inch tall plants. This spring I will put them all together in one pot to make a nice bushy pot. Mother Nature can be pretty resilient sometimes.

@carolfisch9750 3 жыл бұрын

I am no expert. This is my only experience with aglonema. After watching more KZfaqs about them, it seems some varieties tend to get more leggy versus others. So either RedSiam is leggy type or I am doing something wrong. Ha. I just saw one youtube that said when her aglonema gets leggy she replanted it hiding more of the stem under the soil. Nice to learn all the hidden tricks..

I have avoided these guys because I have spider mites in the trees in my neighborhood. The first year (we lived here) I killed a Diffenbachia by not noticing until too late that we had brought them indoors ( the spider mites ) for winter. Although Neem oil is part of my ongoing routine now I have shied away from plants with big thin leaves. Are they more resilient than fellow aroid Diffenbachia? Well it really wont be a problem in the future. We are moving soon. Hopefully out in rural KY there will be more natural predators for the mites and I won't have to worry about an annual re-infestation when my plants go outside for their summer vacation. Thanks for more brilliant content. You are the best!

I propagated the striped green variety from stem cuttings. I find the process to be slow, but it was worth propagating from any piece available. The stem cuttings develop very slowly in the heat of summer but that speeds-up in early fall when the heat abates. So did Dieffenbachia cuttings. I find that tip cuttings and plant division give better results.

Thanks for showing some of the more colorful choices! When I lost my house (in 2018) to fire, all my plant buddies went too, save for the dormant dragon lily. The first two plants I got post fire were a epiphyllum and an aglaonema from a friend who was relocating. So generous! Both were of a pretty good size. The Aglao is in an 8" tapered metal(ish) pot. It has an ideal light source and is very happy overall. We had a large show of flowers this year. Here is my question: What do you think causes those yellowing tips? I see them on your (very healthy) Plants as well. They do seem to occur on the lower leaves only. I do not water often, but I water well and then wait. There are no obvious signs of rot anywhere, and no other blemishing of the leaves. Takk pa forhand! Thanks in advance! Gwen

@giannahartman9030 2 жыл бұрын

it’s very normal for plants to drop their older lower leaves over time. those leaves get less light as the plant grows bigger, getting shaded by the other leaves.
