Care Tips for Aglaonema ‘Maria’
1.Light: Prefers low to medium, indirect light but can tolerate low light exceptionally well. Avoid direct sunlight, which can scorch its leaves.
2.Water: Allow the soil to dry out partially between waterings. Water when the top 1–2 inches of soil feel dry. Be cautious of overwatering, which can cause root rot.
3.Humidity: Tolerates average household humidity but prefers slightly higher humidity. Mist occasionally, especially in drier environments.
4.Temperature: Thrives in 65–80°F (18–27°C). Keep away from cold drafts and temperatures below 60°F (15°C).
5.Soil: Use a well-draining, peat-based potting mix with added perlite for aeration.
6.Feeding: Fertilize with a balanced, water-soluble fertilizer every 6–8 weeks during spring and summer. Pause feeding in fall and winter.
7.Pruning: Remove yellow or damaged leaves to maintain a tidy appearance.
8.Pet Safety:Toxic if ingested by pets and humans due to calcium oxalate crystals. Keep out of reach of curious pets and children.
