aglaonema care on Aglaonema
Quick answer
If your Aglaonema has aglaonema care, the most likely cause is: Aglaonema species succeed as houseplants through CAM-like water storage adaptations and tolerance for variable light conditions. Care failures typically stem from overwatering in low-light conditions where transpiration is reduced, or mineral buildup from tap water causing leaf edge burn.
Start here:
- 1. Position in bright indirect light; east or west-facing windows ideal
- 2. Water thoroughly only when soil is 50-70% dry; use moisture meter for precision
