How to grow the evergreen aglaonema? Will it bloom?

1. How to grow Dieffenbachia australis

1. Light: It likes an environment with good light. It is recommended to expose it to the sun for 6 to 8 hours a day in spring, autumn and winter. With sufficient light, the leaf color will be brighter and more beautiful. Note that the sunlight in summer is very strong, so you must avoid it in time and avoid direct sunlight. Move it to a semi-shaded and ventilated place.

2. Watering: It does not like a humid environment, so you don’t need to water it too much or too often. Just water it when it is dry, and make sure it is watered thoroughly. The specific frequency of watering depends on the season. In spring and autumn, you can water it once every two or three days. In summer, the water disappears quickly, so watering it once a day will be enough. It grows slowly in winter and requires less water. It only needs to be watered once every ten days or half a month. Be careful not to allow water to accumulate at any time.

3. Temperature: It is best and most suitable for it to grow at a temperature between 16 and 26 degrees. The climate temperature in spring and autumn can meet the temperature requirements and can grow vigorously. But be careful in summer and winter. In summer, you need to cool down and ventilate more. In winter, move it indoors to keep warm and avoid frostbite.

4. Fertilization: The demand for fertilizer is relatively high during the peak growing season, so fertilize frequently. Fertilize once every half a month in spring and autumn, and use diluted nitrogen and potassium fertilizer solution. When the flower buds are differentiating, apply more potassium dihydrogen phosphate to promote better flowering. Stop fertilizing after the flowers bloom, and apply liquid fertilizer once before winter to improve cold resistance.
