🌿 Planting & Care Tips
📍 Placement
Place your Aglaonema Tricolor in a spot with bright, indirect light. Avoid direct sunlight as it may scorch the leaves, though it can tolerate lower light conditions.
💧 Watering Routine
Water when the top inch of soil feels dry. Reduce watering in winter. Avoid letting it sit in water to prevent root rot.
🌱 Soil Mix
Use well-draining potting soil, ideally a mix of peat, perlite, and orchid bark for good airflow and moisture retention.
🌡️ Temperature & Humidity
Keep it in a warm, humid environment. It thrives in bathrooms or kitchens. Use a humidity tray or mist regularly if your home is dry.
🌸 Fertilizing
Feed monthly during the growing season (spring through summer) with a balanced liquid fertilizer diluted to half strength.
🪴 Repotting
Repot every 2–3 years or when the plant becomes root-bound. Choose a pot 1–2 inches larger in diameter.
