How to grow the genus Aglaonema

1. Breeding environment

1. Soil: It is best to use granular soil for growing Aglaonema. You can also use a mixture of coal slag, peat and Akadama.

2. Water: Water thoroughly for the first time. Generally, you should follow the principle of watering thoroughly when the soil is dry. The amount of water can be adjusted appropriately according to the dryness of the soil and the weather. For example, in the rainy season, you should control the amount of water or stop watering. In the summer, you should increase watering appropriately to ensure normal growth.

3. Light: Some varieties prefer diffuse light, while some varieties prefer strong light. Shade measures should be taken in summer and ventilation should be increased appropriately. They can accept sunlight in spring, autumn and winter, but those that have just been potted should be grown in a cool place.

2. Breeding Methods

Leaf cutting propagation: Cut off the healthy plants, leaving the petioles and leaves intact, and apply some fungicide on the cut. Do not let it come into contact with water, then place it in a ventilated place to dry. It will dry quickly, so be patient and then plant it in the soil. After it takes root, you can maintain it normally.

3. Common pests and diseases

The genus Tianjing is very prone to gray mold and insect pests, especially in summer, when it is more prone to diseases, so prevention must be carried out in advance. You can spray it with carbendazim or thiophanate-methyl.
