1. Plant Selection

• Select a plant with deep green leaves and distinct red edges, free of brown or yellow spots.
• Avoid plants with drooping leaves or any signs of pest infestations.

2. Pot Selection

• Choose a pot with drainage holes to prevent root rot, ideally one that’s slightly larger than the plant’s root ball.
• A decorative ceramic or plastic pot works well indoors.

3. Soil Preparation

• Use a well-draining potting mix, ideally a blend of peat, perlite, and vermiculite.
• Avoid heavy garden soil, as it may retain too much moisture.

4. Planting

• Place the plant in the pot, centering it, and fill around it with the prepared soil.
• Gently firm the soil to stabilize the plant, leaving space at the top for watering.

5. Watering and Care

• Water moderately, allowing the top inch of soil to dry out between waterings.
• In low-light conditions, water less frequently, as the soil will retain moisture longer.

6. Light Requirements

• Thrives in low to medium indirect light but can tolerate low-light conditions well.
• Avoid direct sunlight, which can cause leaf scorching, although some filtered morning sun is beneficial.

7. Fertilizing

• Feed every 6-8 weeks during the growing season (spring and summer) with a balanced, water-soluble fertilizer.
• Skip fertilizing in the winter, when growth naturally slows.

8. Temperature and Humidity

• Maintain temperatures between 65-80°F (18-27°C); avoid cold drafts and temperatures below 60°F (15°C).
• Aglaonema plants prefer moderate humidity; consider misting or using a humidifier if the air is dry.

9. Pests and Diseases

• Watch for pests like spider mites, mealybugs, and aphids, especially in dry environments.
• Use insecticidal soap or neem oil as a treatment if needed, and ensure good air circulation to prevent mold and mildew.

10. Maintenance and Pruning

• Trim any yellow or damaged leaves to encourage new growth and keep the plant healthy.
• Wipe leaves with a damp cloth to remove dust and allow better light absorption.
