Plant Care Guide
Light
Place your Aglaonema Silver Bay in bright, indirect light. It can tolerate lower light conditions but thrives in moderate to bright, indirect light. Avoid exposing it to direct sunlight, as it can scorch the leaves.
Water
Allow the top inch (2.5 cm) of the soil to dry out before watering. Water thoroughly but ensure that the pot has proper drainage to prevent waterlogged roots. Reduce watering during the winter months when the plant's growth slows down.
Level of Care
Easy! Just make sure the plant isn't in direct sunlight and don't overwater.
Air Purifying
The NASA Clean Air Study has ranked Aglaonema as one of the most efficient houseplants that remove formaldehyde and benzene from the air we breathe.
Fertilizer
Feed your Aglaonema Silver Bay with a balanced liquid fertilizer diluted to half strength every 4-6 weeks during the growing season (spring through early autumn). Reduce or eliminate fertilization during the winter months when the plant is less active.
Temperature
Maintain a consistent indoor temperature between 65°F to 80°F (18°C to 27°C). Protect the plant from drafts and extreme temperature fluctuations.
Soil
Use a well-draining, peat-based potting mix with good moisture retention. A mix designed for tropical plants or houseplants works well.
Pruning & Propagation
Trim any yellow or damaged leaves as needed to maintain the plant's appearance and health. Pruning can also help control its size and shape.
Pet Friendly
Sorry! Algaonemas contain very sharp calcium oxalate crystals that when eaten, cause mouth and digestion irritation.
