Light Requirements

Aglaonema Pink Siam thrives in low to medium light but can tolerate lower light levels. However, to maintain its vibrant pink coloration, it's best to provide bright, indirect light. Avoid direct sunlight, as it can cause the leaves to scorch. Plant Light Requirements

Watering Needs

Water the plant when the top inch of soil feels dry. Aglaonema Pink Siam prefers consistent moisture but is sensitive to overwatering. Ensure the pot has good drainage to prevent root rot. Indoor Plant Watering

Soil Preferences

Use a well-draining potting mix rich in organic matter. A mix of peat, perlite, and orchid bark works well to provide the necessary drainage and aeration. Indoor Plant Potting Mix

Temperature and Humidity

Aglaonema Pink Siam thrives in temperatures between 65°F to 80°F (18°C to 27°C) and appreciates moderate to high humidity. Mist the leaves occasionally or place the plant in a room with higher humidity levels to keep it healthy.

Fertilization

Feed Aglaonema Pink Siam with a balanced, water-soluble fertilizer every 4-6 weeks during the growing season (spring and summer). Reduce feeding in the fall and winter when growth slows. Natural Fertilizer

Pruning and Maintenance

Aglaonema Pink Siam requires minimal pruning. Remove any yellowing or damaged leaves to maintain the plant’s appearance and health. Repot the plant every 2-3 years to refresh the soil and accommodate its growth.

Propagation Methods and Tips

Stem Cuttings

Propagating Aglaonema Pink Siam is best done through stem cuttings taken in the spring or early summer.

Steps:

  1. Take a 4-6 inch cutting from a healthy stem, ensuring it has at least two leaves.
  2. Dip the cut end in rooting hormone to encourage root development.
  3. Place the cutting in a pot with well-draining soil and water lightly.
  4. Keep the cutting in a warm, humid environment with indirect light until roots develop.
Common Pests

Spider Mites

Spider mites are tiny pests that can cause damage to Aglaonema Pink Siam by sucking the sap from the leaves, leading to yellowing and stippling. They thrive in dry conditions, so maintaining adequate humidity and regularly misting the plant can help deter them. If an infestation occurs, wipe the leaves with a damp cloth or use insecticidal soap. Learn More

Mealybugs

Mealybugs are small, white, cotton-like insects that can infest the plant, particularly around the leaf bases. They feed on plant sap, causing stunted growth and leaf yellowing. To treat an infestation, wipe the affected areas with a cotton swab dipped in rubbing alcohol or apply insecticidal soap. Learn More

Scale Insects

Scale insects are small, oval-shaped pests that attach themselves to the leaves and stems of the plant. They can cause leaf yellowing and drop if left untreated. Remove scales manually with a soft cloth or treat the plant with insecticidal soap. Learn More

Fungus Gnats

Fungus gnats are small, black flies that lay their eggs in moist soil. While the adults are more of a nuisance, the larvae can damage the roots of the plant. To prevent fungus gnats, allow the soil to dry out between waterings and consider using sticky traps to catch the adult gnats. Learn More

Preventative Measures

To keep pests at bay, regularly inspect your Aglaonema Pink Siam for signs of infestation, maintain proper watering practices, and ensure good air circulation around the plant. Quarantining new plants before introducing them to your collection can also help prevent the spread of pests.

Your Complete Guide to Pot Sizes: What Size Should You Choose?

When selecting a pot for your plant, it's important to find the right size. But with all the different options out there, how do you know which one is best? We're here to help!

MyGreenscape's pot sizes chart is a great resource for finding your perfect fit. Our easy-to-read chart takes out all the guesswork and helps you quickly choose the right size for your plant.

Smaller pots are best for seedlings or small plants just starting out. These tend to be shallow but wide, allowing enough room for the roots of the young plant but not too much where they get overcrowded. Medium-sized pots are ideal when your plant has grown from its infancy and is ready for more space. These are deeper and wider than small pots, so that it can accommodate larger root systems - making sure your plant gets enough nourishment while still giving it breathing room. Large pots are top choice if you have an established plant in need of lots of space - think trees and large shrubs! The spacious depth and width allow plenty of room for deep root systems without struggling for air or light.

No matter what size you choose, MyGreenscape has got you covered, with our pot sizes chart guaranteeing you find the perfect fit every time!
