Aglaonema nitidum aka Aglaonema Aroid

With its straightforward care requirements, Aglaonema Aroid is a hassle-free plant that anyone can enjoy.

The Aglaonema Aroid displays clumping growth habits, with new shoots arising from the soil close to the parent plant.

Aglaonema Aroid’s native range is tropical Asia and New Guinea.

Aglaonema Aroid loves a well-draining soil. Perlite and vermiculite help with drainage, while coco coir adds organic matter, so a good potting soil mix will have all three. You can improve store-bought soil by adding some perlite to it.

Aglaonema Aroid can survive in low light conditions, making them ideal for rooms that are far from windows or other light sources. However, for best results, place the plant less than 6 feet from a south-facing window to ensure it receives enough light.

The Aglaonema Aroid does not demand additional humidity levels. Water is mostly absorbed by the roots of plants, rather than their leaves, and the best way to provide humidity to your plants is through watering the soil.

Once the Aglaonema Aroid has doubled in size or after a year has passed, it should be moved to a new pot. By replacing the soil with fresh potting soil containing all the vital nutrients, your plant will receive all the sustenance it needs, negating the requirement for fertilizer. It's important to remember that plants get their energy from the sun, not fertilizer.

No verified data on the toxicity of this plant exists within Ploi's records. Should you, someone in your family, or your pet ingest plant material with an unknown toxicity level, it is recommended to seek medical advice.

During the wintertime, it is common for Aglaonema Aroid plants to go dormant and their growth rate may slow down. Therefore, the amount of waterings should be spaced out more.
