Aglaonema care guide
Aglaonema commutatum
Easy care⚠️ 🐾
Aglaonema (Aglaonema commutatum) does best when watered about every 7 days. Let the top 2–3 cm of soil dry out before watering again; adjust the rhythm to season and light.
Place it in shade / low light. Humidity needs are average room, and it appreciates misting roughly every 5 days. The comfortable temperature range is 18–25°C. During the growing season, feed it about every 30 days.
Care difficulty: easy — great for beginners.
⚠️ Pet safety: Aglaonema is toxic to cats and dogs. Calcium oxalates, GI irritation. Keep it out of reach, and if your pet chews it, contact a vet.
